What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it
LFL Verified 2026
Every eligibility gate this firm's state allows us to check has been checked and held: licensure, discipline, entity, website and footprint. Certification additionally requires a score of 70.
No public discipline
None of the 2 named attorneys carries a disciplinary status on the public register: no disbarment, suspension or disciplinary resignation. Those statuses persist, so the check reaches back years, but it would not show a censure or a suspension since lifted.

The first consultation is free, which is the place to ask.

Bakshi & Leta has earned these 2 badges. They are free, they are not for sale, and each one links back to this page so anybody can read the evidence behind it. They are also live: the file is rebuilt every time we re-measure, so a badge on your site says what is true today rather than what was true the day you copied it.
