Rajiv Hate is amazing! I contacted Kotak law after my employer fired me and I was on LTD. However, I did the mistake of going thr Ministry of labor and the severance I received was so low. Not only this but my employer had hired a lawyer and they had drafted the release form- I signed off on it not only releasing my employer but also affiliates etc. My employer was dishonest and last minute made an amendment which I didn't see and I released the LTD provider as well and the provider was not even there and not part of the discussion. It was such a bad deal to release all my rights for so little money. I didn't realize all this until after I contacted Kotak and Rajiv looked at my documents. Instead of giving up on me Rajiv went ahead and fought for me. It was a long wait and I thought I had lost and was giving up, but Rajiv kept persevering. He was skilled at the negotiation and when I was tired, he found the right words to speak on my behalf and understood me. My case was won by Rajiv and it takes amazing talent like his to win a lost battle! Hats off to Rajiv and his assistant Stefan Jakovljevic for a job well done and being there for me. Rajiv received an Honours Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto in June 2009 and subsequently obtained a J.D. from Albany Law School in New York, U.S.A, in May 2012. Rajiv was called to the New York Bar in January 2013 and is a member of the New York State Bar Association. He worked as a law clerk and completed his articles with a boutique insurance defence law firm in Toronto. He was called to the Ontario Bar in January 2016 and has practiced in the areas of insurance litigation, including statutory accident benefits, tort litigation, occupiers liability litigation, motor vehicle accidents and slip and falls. He has appeared before the Superior Court of Justice, Small Claims Court, Financial Services Commission of Ontario and the Licence Appeal Tribunal.
