Pragati Parikh

Ms Pragati required a $350 non-refundable retainer to represent me during the sale of my house. The retainer was signed and sent to her along with the Buyer's contract on Friday afternoon. At 9am Monday the Buyer withdrew and I notified Ms Pragati. She claimed to have spent time reading a basic on...e page contract and to have sent a communication back to the Buyer's attorney either on Friday or that weekend but did not cc me or my realtor. She has not provided a copy of this message as proof of activity on my behalf. When I asked her to return the retainer she refused. Ms Pragati noted that the retainer was signed and she had worked on my file even though there is no evidence of this. She also refused to apply the retainer or a portion of the retainer to a new contract. I subsequently spoke with other attorneys to understand if this was proper behavior. While the signed retainer is a legal document, consensus opinion was that, as there was no formal attorney review nor evidence of actions performed on my behalf, insisting on the full $350 payment appears contraindicated. This behavior may serve as notice to other potential clients that Ms Pragati may not be worthy of confidence. I was certainly disappointed.

We are first time home buyer and looking for attorney to process Attorney Review in short time so that we can secure the house. We tried couple of attorneys. But, they are taking long time to start the process. Then, my friend referred Pragati Dubal to us and she was very attentive and started AR pro...cess for house within hours and we are able to get hold on the house. From the beginning of the process till closing, she was very much involved in the process by paying attention to minute details and used to advise us time to time well in advance about the correct process and things to be done. In one word, I can tell that her devotion to work, paying attention to clients needs, discipline and ethics in the approach helping the people like me to able to achieve our goals successfully. I wish her success in her profession and strongly recommend for all the persons who is looking for a capable, knowledgeable, reachable attorney.

Pragati helped us with a purchase of a mixed use property. She performed an outstanding job as an attorney representing us as buyers for a bankrupt property. She was a quick response and answered all our questions in a timely manner. I would seek her help again for my next real estate transaction....
