Very satisfied!

Shalini Patel helped me with a Workmen’s Compensation claim. She helped me show that the injury that I incurred changed my life. It took a little over a year, from first contact to compensation. I am very thankful for Mrs. Patel and so appreciated her service. Highly recommend.

A Dedicated Attorney

Its not easy finding the right words that explains the integrity of Mrs. Shalini Patel. This is my second time round with Mrs. Patel. She is the most helpful person I have ever dealt within any situation. She's a fighter for her clients, she shows compassion and she works hard. She also have a very... supportive assistant. I hope that I won't need a to hire another attorney but if I do I will definitely pursue Mrs. Patel. She's highly recommended because she makes it happen!

A great attorney who genuinely cares

I have had the pleasure to work with Ms. Patel for several years. She is very professional, intelligent, and honest. She genuinely cares about her clients and can personally relate to many situations. Ms. Patel is very personable; she makes her clients feel comfortable while developing a high leve...l of respect and trust. She communicates well and that’s what clients like. Ms. Patel works tirelessly to get satisfactory results for all clients. Ms. Patel is very knowledgeable and always well-prepared to fight for what’s in the best interest of her client. I highly recommend Ms. Patel.

I Recommend This WC Attorney!

I highly recommend Shalini Patel. She is my attorney for a case that is still active. I have found Ms. Patel to be client-centered, professional and ethical. She's intelligent, as well as personable. In addition, she's responsive, direct and clear. In short, she has the unique combination of wh...at I wanted when I was in need of a good attorney. No matter the final outcome of my case, I believe she has been an excellent attorney for me. She's advocated for me and stayed on top of my case. I'm very pleased to write this review and to recommend her services to others.
