Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
Message From Attorney Rahul Parikh:. "If you're here on AVVO, odds are you have begun your search for a trustworthy professional that will truly go the extra mile for your cause. Or maybe you've heard about me and wanted to check me out. Either way, you are in the right place.. I understand the process of hiring an attorney can be stressful. It is hard to find good service providers these days in any industry, and unforunately, that is also true of the legal profession. You can begin by checking out the various reviews that my former clients and other attorneys have left about me below and on other places on the internet, and then call my Firm at for a free consultation.. My career began in 2016 practicing real estate and contract law, but I was always a litigator at heart. In 2017, I joined the State Attorney's Office in Orange and Osceola counties to get trial experience. I tried fifteen (15) jury and bench trials in less than one (1) year. As a prosecutor I spent countless hours in the courtroom appearing before various judges and conducting hundreds of evidentiary hearings. Spending time in the courthouse, I saw some great lawyers, and some not so great lawyers. I saw how some people charged with crimes were processed through the criminal justice system and often forced to take bad deals. I saw how some clients in family cases were not provided with the right resources, information, or legal counsel. This did not sit right with me.. In 2019 I founded Parikh Law, P.A. with the mission of providing high powered representation, VIP service, and a caring team for criminal defense and family law clients. Since then, we have proudly serviced well over 2,000 clients. We have had countless charges dismissed, cases resolved, trials won, and defended the rights of our clients. We have received awards from dozens of lawyer review companies, consumer agencies, magazines, and Florida lawyer's associations. But most importantly, we have served our clients faithfully and done our best - which often resulted in outcomes better than they expected.. I live by my word and will always be straight with you. When you hire me, I will give you my cell phone number and you can call/text/email me at any time. Afterall, I work for you. My Firm believes that your reprsentation is about YOU, not us..
