MurthyDotCom is the brainchild of Mr. Nayak who began with us as in-house designer and Webmaster.

Thanks to Mr. Nayak, MurthyDotCom is a leader among websites by immigration lawyers, offering online services like our MurthyChat and MurthyForum. The distribution of the MurthyBulletin to tens of thousands of subscribers each week is a fulfillment of his early vision. He facilitated the customization of off-the-shelf software products, which has led to the development of our own custom-built software, making the best use of technology for our specific needs.

Most recently, Mr. Nayak has upgraded our associate office in Chennai, India, more firmly establishing our presence there for the benefit and convenience of our clients.
