Portrait of Bishnu Thapa, partner for charges and tickets

Bishnu Thapa

Partner, charges and tickets

Bishnu defends people charged with DUI, misdemeanors and traffic offenses, and helps clear old records.

Bishnu came to Burlington at fifteen and spent his first winter translating letters from the school, the landlord and the clinic for half the building. Law school was a way to keep doing that, with more say in how it ended.

He defends people charged with misdemeanors, DUI and traffic offenses, and helps people seal old charges that keep showing up on background checks. He explains every step in English or Nepali, to you and to anyone you bring.
