free speech, anti-SLAPP: successful victory with with attorney fees paid to home owner
Thank you for your kind words, Dr. Pidikiti. It was a pleasure for us to help you fight and defeat injustice. Freedom of speech, especially being able to comment publicly in a city council meeting on matters of public concern, is one of the most fundamental American civil rights. The First Amendment protected your conduct, and we're glad that we were able to help you defeat the effort to retaliate against you. Your case was among the first in Ohio and the first in Cuyahoga County using the new Uniform Public Expression Protection (UPEPA, also known as the "anti-SLAPP") Act. You've set an example for others with your courage.<br><br>https://www.chandralaw.com/blog/court-dismisses-defamation-suit-against-orange-village-resident-using-ohios-new-anti-slapp-free-speech-law
I contacted the Chandra Law Firm 2wks ago I was told it would be 3wks before someone got back in contacted with me I have a serious case in reading the reviews about how compassionately others have been represented and with speed I'm not having this experience at all. I'm being contacted via text by one of their representatives and not in a timely fashion. This is a update after I posted this review the owner of the law firm called me and asked me to take down my review I explained to him my review is a accurate account of the level of service I received and I was not going to remove it. I was shocked that he called me he seemed to be more concerned about damage control than the service I received as a potential client. Smh😔
We were in touch with you—consistent with our obligations to our existing clients—and we respectfully declined to represent you. You are thus not in a position to evaluate the quality of our representation of civil-rights clients.
I do not recommend this law firm. They prioritize themselves over our rights and, like many attorneys, avoid the big confrontations. Even if there's a clear violation of civil rights, if the battle seems too challenging or expensive, it’s irrelevant to them. They prefer straightforward cases and shy away from anything that might require significant effort. Update Certainly, it wasn't Jessie who asked for your help; it was me, and you turned me down. I must remain anonymous because exercising our freedoms can be dangerous these days. People can face repercussions for asserting their rights, which is why I contacted you. I'm frustrated with civil rights attorneys who profess to defend these rights but hesitate when opportunities to act arise. This situation would have been complicated. I don't need to be a trained lawyer or paralegal to see when rights are being violated. The government has infringed on my rights twice, and each time I sought help from various attorneys, all of whom were unsatisfactory. You don't genuinely support everyone's civil rights. Is it that the potential investment in the case isn’t worth the time or compensation? It should be when it comes to holding the government accountable and correcting their errors. You just don’t appear to share that perspective. I would have more rights as a criminal. I was wrong about your firm. The reviews are deceiving.
We have no idea who this person is. This person has never done business with our law firm. We've never even heard of this name. What a strange thing to do. To see the challenging fights we have taken on, please visit www.ChandraLaw.com/blog and https://www.chandralaw.com/case-studies. We’ve taken some of the longest, hardest civil-rights cases in the country, including successful voting-rights litigation spanning 10 years and the police-killing of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, resulting, after years, in a $6 million settlement. <br><br>UPDATE: Based on the update, it's now apparent that this is a fake review through a fake identity by someone we have never represented and declined to represent for whatever reason after hearing them out.. Any decision not to represent such a dishonest, mean-spirted person, who apparently has an inflated sense of entitlement, is vindicated.

The Chandra Law Firm represented me in a time-sensitive legal matter. Subodh was quick to respond, had a high level of expertise, strong negotiating skills, and resolved the matter favorably. I would use him again and/or recommend him to a friend.
Thank you for your kind words. The pleasure was ours.
I am a pediatrician in private practice in the Cleveland area for over 25 years. As leader of a group of 600 progressive physicians, I was approached by Mr. Chandra about a law that limited doctor participation in various state of Ohio political races. Many doctors were being denied the right to support candidates of their choice. Under Mr. Chandra's guidance we were able to successfully challenge the law via a suit against the Ohio Secretary of State. The Secretary, holding substantial powers in the state, was able to fund extensive appeals and fee challenges, but Mr. Chandra and his outstanding firm sustained the challenge over many years and ultimately prevailed all together. Free speech was defended, truth was spoken to power, the rights of regular citizens were protected, all by the virtue, integrity, legal acumen, and persistence of this great man and firm.
We were honored to assist you and your physician colleagues in the many rounds of hard-fought First Amendment litigation and appeals required to get to total victory restoring your free-speech rights!
I had an outstanding experience working with Chandra Law Firm. From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, and truly cared about my case. The team took the time to explain everything in detail, answered all of my questions, and kept me informed every step of the way. Their expertise and attention to detail gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout the entire process. I’m incredibly grateful for their support and highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal representation.
Thank you for your kind words. We were honored to be entrusted with your matter. You were incredibly patient under the trying circumstances. We were happy that it resolved well.

We need strong advocates to stand up for the weak and poor.
