    Review Jay Bhatt

    Thanks Mr. Bhatt

    Posted by

    I want to extend my appreciation for Jay for personally helping with my case. I had a complicated case and he helped me through the process by first providing information without charging anything. It is rare to find attorneys that care about clients and their work and he is an exception. If you need an attorney for anything, I would recommend you contact him.

    I want to thank Jay for helping with a personal injury case. I was injured in a car accident and contacted the Bhatt Law Group. I'm extremely happy with the amount of money they got me. The best part was their communication. They kept me in the loop throughout the case. I would recommend his services to anyone.

    Person Injury Case

    Posted by

    I hired the Bhatt Law Group for a personal injury case. I'm very happy with the amount of money they got me. I met with the owner Jay Bhatt and Daniel. They far exceeded my expectations and I was able to put money aside for the future. I'm so happy! Hire them immediately if you have a PI case!

    Don’t go to court alone

    Posted by

    I reached out to Jay due to an unfortunate speeding ticket, He answered immediately just as he did throughout the entire process. Whether it was by email or phone, Jay was always quick to answer any questions or concerns I had. He is very well educated in the field and did an excellent job explaining to me the details of my case. He was a very personable and professional. I'm very thankful to have him represent me, he made the process very simple and delivered great results. Jay saved my driving record and saved me lots of money.

    I used jay's office for a personal injury case and I am more than happy with the outcome. The paralegal was very good at what he does and Jay was aggressive in fighting for a resolution. Got more that I had thought.

    EXCELLENT LAWYER

    Posted by

    I WAS ARRESTED IN TOMS RIVER NJ FOR MARIHUANA POSSESSION. BHATT LAW FIRM HELD MY HAND THROUGH ENTIRE PROCESS WHICH CAUSED ALOT OF STRESS ESPECIALLY SINCE I LIVED 150 MILES AWAY. THEY WERE EVEN ABLE TO RESCHEDULE COURT DATE BECAUSE I HAD FINALS. I WAS DEFINITELY IN TROUBLR AND JAY BHATT AND HIS COLLEAGUES HELPED ME OUT AND ARGUED THE VALIDITY OF THE STOP THEY GOT ENTIRE CASE DISMISSED. EVER GRATEFUL !!!

    My go to lawyer

    Posted by

    I am a truck driver and I have been using Jay's law office for about 5 years because I get tickets all over the place. Him and his firm are great. They have always been aggressive at fighting for me and I appreciate that because I put food on the table with my license. If you drive for a living or simply have a ticket, give them a call.
