MANCHANDA LAW OFFICE PLLC – COMPLAINTS, THREATS AND MORE

May 9, 2022 0

Manchanda Law Office PLLC is an immigration law firm based in New York City, New
York. Their address is 30 Wall St 8th Floor Suite 8207, New York, NY 10005, US
and their contact number is 212-968-8600. 

They have received a ton of complaints from clients for botching delicate
immigration procedures and ruining their lives. 

Furthermore, to distract consumers from these complaints, the law firm is
spending heavily on its marketing and PR. 

In the following review, we will look at some of the many complaints Manchanda
Law Office PLLC has received. This way, you can determine if they are worth your
money or not: 


“THEY CHARGE YOU EXTRA FOR WHATEVER THEY FEEL LIKE”

(Source)

Here, the reviewer says that Manchanda Law Office PLLC is a garbage firm which
capitalizes on the fact that it’s located on Wall Street. However, they lack
knowledge in key areas of immigration and charge you heavily for asking minor
questions. 

The reviewer says he had a dreadful experience with this firm as he did some
immigration work with them. However, the firm had to call third parties to
confirm small immigration matters. 

What made things worse is they reserve the right to associate other counsel
billable to clients. It is a small clause present in their agreement and it
means they can charge you extra for whatever they feel like, according to the
reviewer. 

Here, the reviewer says that he paid extra for talking to the paralegal because
the lawyers didn’t talk to him over the phone at all. 

The brokerage company handling the reviewer’s H1B visa had referred this law
firm to the reviewer. Also, the reviewer was desperate but he had no idea this
law firm would be so expensive. 

Moreover, the reviewer points out that they keep changing the staff which was
another red flag. 


REVIEWER RECOMMENDS REPORTING MANCHANDA LAW OFFICE PLLC TO THE BAR COUNCIL

(Source)

The above reviewer highlights that Rahul Manchanda of Manchanda Law Office, PLLC
is a scammer. 

According to the reviewer, they make bogus bills and charge you for services
they haven’t provided. Furthermore, the law firm makes sure that you lose your
entire retainer. 

The reviewer suggests filing a complaint against the firm by reporting them to
the Bar. 

In the comments of this report, a few consumers have even thanked the OP for
this suggestion. 


“THE PEOPLE AT MANCHANDA LAW OFFICE PLLC ARE LIARS”

Here, the reviewer highlights that he read the various complaints people have
posted against the law firm and wishes he had done so earlier. 

According to the above reviewer, Rahul Manchanda and his firm are liars. The
reviewer called the firm many times but was never able to talk to them. He
highlights that he was a paying client and couldn’t understand why they wouldn’t
let him talk to his attorney. 

So, he had to send them emails to ask questions. However, it wasn’t of much
use. 

The law firm didn’t respond to him after the reviewer signed the retainer
agreement. He wishes that Rahul Manchanda and his team realize what kind of con
artists they truly are. 

The firm billed the reviewer for outrageous hours and when he called to express
his concerns, they said that the reviewer had signed the retainer so he had to
pay his bills. 

Hence, the reviewer doesn’t recommend working with this firm. 


MANCHANDA LAW OFFICE PLLC DECEIVES ITS CLIENTS

(Source)

The above reviewer points out that if you have immigration or civil problems,
you should hire Rahul Manchanda or his firm and they will make sure you don’t
have any savings left. 

According to the reviewer, Rahul is the most incompetent lawyer in New York
City. The reviewer points out that he promises the world to you but makes it
sound like your case is extremely complex. 

Then, Rahul will ensure that you sign the retainer. According to the reviewer,
Rahul will do everything to make sure you sign the retainer. 

Afterwards, the firm makes you believe that the authorities will deport you.
Then Rahul will claim to have insiders in some government agencies to help you.
Now, Rahul uses this team to extract funds out of the retainer you signed
earlier. 

The funds in your retainer will deplete in no time and you will learn about it
when you see a huge bill in your mail. According to the reviewer, if you ask any
questions about how they spent the entire retainer so quickly, the firm will
come up with a dozen excuses. 

Furthermore, you will now have to pay them more out of your pocket. 

The reviewer highlights that he heard Rahul Manchanda use several derogatory
terms for his female staff members several times. He mainly hires fresh
graduates because they are easier to exploit. 

Furthermore, the reviewer says that Rahul breaks attorney-client privilege
frequently by talking about other clients in meetings. Also, Rahul Manchanda
wouldn’t even deliver on his promises and you will have to look for other
attorneys after he has lost the case. 

Certainly, the reviewer doesn’t recommend this immigration firm. 


EX-EMPLOYEE EXPOSES RAHUL MANCHANDA LAW

(Source)

Here, the reviewer says that Rahul is probably the most evil person he has met.
The reviewer says he worked at Manchanda Law Office PLLC for a few months. 

In that small period, he saw 10 attorneys come and go and several office
managers leave the firm. Clearly, the firm has an extremely turnover rate. 

The reviewer says that Rahul faces at least one fee dispute every week.
According to the reviewer, Rahul doesn’t pay his employees, rent, utilities or
any other bills. 

Also, he hires young attorneys with no experience and bills them at $350 per
hour while paying them $15 per hour. 

The reviewer says that he teaches his employees how to overbill their clients.
Some clients paid $40,000 for things that usually cost $5,000.

Furthermore, the reviewer highlights that one time, Rahul promised to pay health
insurance for a pregnant employee but right before she had her child, he
canceled the policy to save himself $1,000. 

This is when the reviewer had enough of Rahul and left the firm.

DECEPTIVE MARKETING TACTICS OF MANCHANDA LAW OFFICE PLLC:

As you can see, this firm has received a plethora of complaints from its clients
and past employees. However, instead of addressing those issues and trying to
fix them, they rely on unethical marketing tactics to deceive potential
clients. 

Manchanda Law Office PLLC has used several illicit and unethical techniques and
I have explained them below: 


HARASSING REVIEWERS AND SENDING LEGAL THREATS:

As a law firm, it’s easy for Manchanda Law to post legal threats on reviews and
complaints. For example, I found the same notice below most of the complaints I
saw against them. Here it is:

Apart from a “Notice of Court Proceeding” they also post a “Notice of Subpoena”
on every complaint:

This is an intimidation technique and they use this to scare reviewers into
removing their complaints. It is cheap but highly effective. 

However, in the case of the above reviews, the technique didn’t work and the
reviewers didn’t remove their complaints from the platform. 

It wouldn’t be surprising if they send such legal threats to this post or review
website as well. 


HAVING A SUSPICIOUS TESTIMONIALS PAGE:

As you have already seen, Manchanda Law Office PLLC has received a ton of
complaints from its clients. Instead of improving themselves, the law firm uses
another cheap and deceptive marketing tactic to deceive potential clients. 

They have a “testimonials” page on their website:

However, none of the “testimonials” on this page are verifiable. Furthermore,
they are not available on any third-party platform, reducing their credibility
more. 

We can easily assume that the so-called testimonials they have posted on their
website are fake. 

For example, we looked up the name of ‘Hugues Dantin’ who they claim is the CEO
of Easy Search LLC. 

However, when you look up this name, you don’t see any online presence for a
person with this name who is a CEO of Easy Search LLC.

Hence, there’s a high chance that the law firm has posted fake reviews on its
platform to deceive clients. It is a prevalent practice among online scams. 

Dr. Lara Devgan MD is a celebrity surgeon whose marketers posted a ton of fake
reviews on her products. Luckily, people noticed and exposed this nefarious
marketing method. 


PAYING BBB FOR A POSITIVE RATING:

Manchanda Law Office PLLC has an A+ rating on BBB with an accredited profile.
However, you should know that getting a BBB accreditation doesn’t depend on your
business practices and ethics. 

To get a BBB accreditation, businesses have to pay a hefty annual fee which can
go up to $10,000 per annum. That’s it. 

CNN Money had conducted a detailed investigation into this terrible practice.
They found that many scammers and businesses facing charges of fraud had A+
ratings on BBB simply because they had an accredited profile.

Having a BBB accreditation helps online scammers and shady businesses seem more
credible than they are. 

Manchanda Law Office PLLC is using the same tactic here. 


CONCLUSION

After examining the various negative reviews on this business and their
unethical marketing tactics, it’s obvious that Manchanda Law Office PLLC is not
as reliable as it claims to be. 

The firm has a lot of red flags. 

Due to these reasons, we don’t recommend doing business with this immigration
attorney. There are plenty of other options to choose from.
