The most horrible lawyer!

Mr Shah is the most horrible lawyer I ever dealt in my life. He agreed to close my house less than $1000 and I got my final bill $3200 for my closing. It was a simple straightforward closing. When I asked him about this..his response was he will give me 30 seconds to get out from his office. I nev...er forget such a horrible experience in my life. Never ever trust him..

Stay away from this attorney. Overcharged $450 on closing disclosure.

We purchased our home in August 2020 having Sital Shah as our attorney. We are over charged by $450 in addition to agreed amount. It's been 11 months and still no resolution. Initially, he would respond to my queries with explanation and excuses which did not relate to my questions regarding overchar...ge and lately he stopped responding at all to my email. I would never ever hire him as my attorney. Only hire this guy if you have extra $$ floating around and oh yea be ready for some sarcasm and attitude (these are bonuses) you get working with him.

Tremendous attorney

I am very grateful to Mr. Shah, he helped me to close out to buy Single Family in May 2011 and sell in 2019. Sital was an Excellent lawyer, very patient with me and guided me through the entire process. He is very pleasant and kind person, With his support and dedication completed the purchase on... time. He is trustworthy. He showed great leadership to work well with sellers and Buyers. He and is staff followed up on many issues to resolve them for closing at all times. He communicated frequently with me and often responded to all queries anytime night and on weekends. I would give the highest recommendation for his and his staff’s services in the home buying process.

Lawyer with great attitude and no experience with real estate

I hired him for both selling and buying my house. He did not add any value in negotiations with my buyers and sellers. He worked as a mail forwarding agent. We agreed to a fee which he forgot and put a higher fee in the settlement amount. There were items in my settlement document for selling my hous...e that he and his associate could not explain. That tells me that he does not review the numbers He has a great attitude which is not a customer focused. He does not communicate well with his fees. Initially he offered to close on my behalf, but never told me that he will charge $200 for that. When I refused his service for closing, he got very angry. His office does not have a/c which makes it hard to work in summer. He does not seem to care about that. He and his associates hardly return phone call. I also find him very inexperienced with real estate issues like title insurance charge. He could not explain the charge beside saying it is accurate . He even did not want to give me contact number for title insurance. He did not consult me in choosing title company and disclosed fees earlier If you need someone to forward emails, then you can hire him. He is definitely not worth hiring as a lawyer

Excellent attorney - very detail oriented

Mr.Shah has been our lawyer for our house closing in 2011, June 2018 and our Will. He is very hardworking detailed oriented person whom you can trust. He explained all the terms in contract so that layman can understand and taking time to respond back to questions even over a weekend. For our second ...closing we had lot of delays and he put in extra time & effort to ensure that we had a smooth closing. I wish I could give more than 5 stars !!
