In 2007, Mr. Joshi was successful in having a trial judge declare a Florida Statute that his client was prosecuted for was Unconstitutional because Mr. Joshi successfully argued that the State Statute violated several provisions of the United States Constitution. The State appealed the trial courts decision, and the trial court’s ruling was upheld by the Fifth District Court of Appeals which led to the Statute being found Unconstitutional throughout the State of Florida. In 2007, Rajan Joshi had a jury find his client not guilty of Attempted First Degree Murder in less than a half an hour of deliberation despite the fact that the victim testified that Mr. Joshi’s client stabbed him at least seven times.

Mr. Joshi’s client faced a minimum-mandatory prison sentence of twenty-five years day for day and up to Life in prison. Despite being arrested within minutes of the shooting, Mr. Joshi was successful in getting almost all the physical evidence suppressed (thrown out of court) by successfully arguing to the Judge that the police unlawfully stopped and searched his client. Although the co-defendants still agreed to cooperate with the State against Mr. Joshi’s client in exchange for them receiving reduced prison sentences, after filing multiple motions and after intense litigation, Mr. Joshi was successful in getting the majority of the charges dropped and having his client only sentenced to probation. In 2015, Mr. Joshi was successful in having a Circuit Court Judge grant his client a new trial for the charge of Attempted First Degree Murder and Armed Robbery where the alleged victim was shot, by successfully litigating during an intense post-conviction hearing and convincing the Judge that the attorney who previously represented this client and tried the case in 2008 was ineffective at trial. These are just a few of Mr. Joshi’s successes.. Mr. Joshi’s clients have include individuals from various backgrounds and he has represented numerous law enforcement officers, doctors and family members of politicians.

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.. If you or someone you loved has been charged with a crime or needs legal representation for a family related issue, give me a call at the number on this profile.  We'll sit down in my office, get to know each other, discuss the unique aspects of your case, and come up with the best solution for you.". - Rahul Parikh, Esq..
