Milan Chandrakant Patel

Very Very expensive: fees ~900 + additional charge of ~350 (which is too much. Other lawyers charge around 60 to 100 dollars) Not at all responsive. We had to call to ask what's next. No follow ups. Did not seemed like we hired them. We were running around them asking questions. Horrible service.......Please avoid....

I will start off by saying that he is a fabulous attorney and highly recommend him for any house closing. There was a situation where I missed something in the letter from seller's attorney where "Use of Occupancy" clause was written but not exactly where it should have been or I expected so, I mis...sed it. Milan asked me couple of times that "do I agree with all the terms?" I said "Yes" every time during attorney review process. Finally, before sending it out to seller's attorney, he again asked me specifically about "Use of Occupancy" and that's when I saw the clause and then he suggested appropriate response as well otherwise, we would have been in trouble, if we would have gone by the condition put in by Seller's attorney. thank you Milan. In few other situations as well, he added few clauses himself to safe guard me, in case, sellers try to play rough by exploiting the "Use of Occupancy" or "Inspection" related repairs not that they would have or are/were planning to but its always good to have someone on your side in this complicated process of home buying. He was very thorough in explaining each and every paper (you know how big the bundle of papers there are) while closing the house which initially, i thought it's overkill but even that proved to be helpful as he found few issues while closing as well where Title company (not from him but lender) had missed few specifics from the documents so, he got them as well corrected which extended the closing time but he was patiently waiting with us and kept on explaining us. We were impressed by how detail oriented he is given that he knew few minor numbers 15 pages back also when we asked a question about some $253 approx. and he was quick to take us to a page where it was mentioned by lender. So, here's all good and here's something not so much in his favor hence, 4 stars. Sometimes, when you did not follow the process or did not go through a document after him telling you as well then he can be rough (again, not shouting) but you can feel the irritation in his voice easily :) , happened with me twice but again, it was for my own good nothing was going to benefit him because of that but he did not like that. I found that, it's better to follow up with the attorney's assistant if you have put in some conditions which are out of the regular process like we had one or 2 (do not want to put it on forum) but overall, great experience. You might find his fee little higher than others but then he does not add any additional charges at the time of closing like, photocopy, emailing etc. whereas most of other attorneys do.
