“I was in awe when I heard the words: “Charges have been withdrawn”. For Tushar to have won this case, personally, it’s like having won the lottery. Tushar Pain always made himself available at anytime and for any questions/concerns I had. He worked very hard to obtain many bail changes I had to get in order to keep my job. With all his knowledge and experience, he had me ready for my trial dates.I can not thank you enough for ...

Cases arising out of allegations of distant events such as claims of sexual assault from a long time ago can be challenging for a court to analyze and assess.  More often than not, there is little in the way of physical evidence leaving the court with little more than the testimony of the complainant alleging the historical sexual assault.  In such instances, the court must exercise caution and scrutiny in analyzing the evidence.

I cannot thank enough for what Tushar did for me.

When I got separated from my wife – she charged me with false criminal charges which were enough to put me in jail and ruin my life, my job and everything.  I never dealt with any lawyer or police in any matter before.

I was not sure how to select a lawyer , I spoke with a few Lawyers recommended by friends and family. After talking to Tushar my gut instinct somehow ...

Dear Mr Pain,

We are still in shock from today’s trial outcome. It is a good feeling to have this monkey off our back that has been growing larger and heavier as we approached the trial date.

This past week and even past two weeks, Perry has shown more stress and worry. When he would reach a low, he would remember your talks with him and the cautious optimism you gave him and he would gain strength to keep going on ...

Hello Tushar,

I sincerely thank you for your efforts in getting me the “NOT GUILTY” verdict.

Your sincere approach from the first consultation till the final decision you came across as a very concerned and a positive person who went deep into details and guided accordingly.

The other thing was the fact that you are so easily approachable and it certainly was a big help with two office locations which made it easier to meet you after normal office hours.

You treated me ...

“Thank you for your understanding. You have become a good friend as well as a good lawyer. Thanks doesn’t even cover how grateful we are.”

Yours truly,

D.H., Oshawa
