Dear Mr Sunil, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to you for making the decision to take my Case No. 2028/2020 against Agrarian Holding Avangard LLC. When I received your message that you would, indeed, take my case I felt relieved, as you are known as one of the top lawyers in this field of law relating to Intellectual Property. From day one, our very first face to face meeting, I knew that we had a chance at winning this thing, and fortunately for myself, this proved to be true.I realize that this was not the easiest case to win, and that you were required to spend long hours researching and putting your presentation together. It is for this that I thank you. You treated me just as well, if not better, than your more prestigious clients who are mostly corporations. In fact, I was not prepared for the kindness and consideration I received from you and your good staff. It was not all “business” with you, it was something more personal. This made me feel secure in you handling our case.Thanks to your expertise in IP related laws and prowess, my case not only saw the light of day, but was won. Justice was served. Your dedication, your attention to detail and diligence made this all possible. You and your staff believed in me and my situation, and did not leave my side, but remained steadfast through it all, even when it did not look promising.In the end, it all worked out well. Thank you for not only being my lawyer, but also my friend through this. I appreciate the attention to my health and wellbeing, as does my family. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone that would need a sound and experienced lawyer.
