PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM HIM

This guy is another Patel . You know what I mean. Another disgrace to Patel community . PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM HIM .. JUST RUN . I had a very disappointing experience with attorney Niteesh Patel. Initially, he spoke with confidence and assured me that he would aggressively defend my case. However, t...hat confidence did not translate into action. Over the seven days leading up to the court date, there was minimal communication, no substantial preparation, and I was left feeling completely unready for what was to come. When we finally appeared in court, it was clear he had not prepared adequately just went to court with financial documents from me That’s it. Carried lots of folders and carry bag as if he was a professional attorney. He didn’t present a strong defense, rarely spoke up, and seemed to simply agree with the opposing counsel. I felt like I was standing alone in that courtroom despite having hired professional representation. To make matters worse, after the hearing, I received a bill that used up the entire $15,000 retainer I had provided—without any clear justification for where that time or effort went. He was working on my case for just 7 days . I do not recommend N.V. Patel based on my experience. I expected advocacy and guidance but received neither. This is real review. Lately found another review of Patel treated a lady in Florida the same away . Save your money .

Highly Recommend

Working with Mr. Patel was a great experience. I hired him to review and consult on a prenup, with three weeks to go to the wedding. He was very consistent in communication and efficient in reviewing and returning materials, as well as providing thoughtful legal advisement. Would definitely recommend....

Great Attorney

I met Dante Jones when he was with the previous law firm, which was a rather unpleasant experience. Following him to NVP Family Law turned out to be a wise decision. I must say that Attorneys Patel & Rivers are nothing short of amazing, and you're in capable hands with them. Despite the ongoing chaos..., I'm confident, as previous reviews have mentioned, that they will step up and deliver. Attorney Patel has already demonstrated exceptional dedication in a previous matter for us. I appreciate their efforts now, and I'm anticipating the outstanding work they'll continue to do on our behalf. Choosing this firm is a decision you won't regret, I assure you.

ONE WORD: PHENOMENAL

When I initially reached out to Attorney Patel and his firm, I was very stressed out, lost, and emotional. When it comes to your children, you have to be careful who you trust with things that affect their lives. Attorney Patel was very informative and was able to inform me about how certain decision...s would affect my son even in the long run. He answered ANY and all questions that I had thoroughly. He was knowledgeable and didn't back down. He ADVOCATED for my family. I can honestly say that once my case was given to Attorney Patel, I knew I didn't have to stress anymore. I slept very well knowing that he would get us the results that would be best for my son in the end. In fact, Attorney Patel gave me results that I hadn't even thought of. I got favorable results AND MORE. In particular, during mediation, Attorney Patel really showed me that he was "no nonsense" when it came to his clients. He could have done the bare minimum but he represented me in a way that made me feel like he genuinely cared about my family. The opposing party was very rude and difficult to him but he was STILL professional and generous when it came to reaching an agreement. Attorney Patel did not rush me and did not short change me. I really appreciate him. He was such a pleasure to work with and honestly, he is phenomenal. I hired Attorney Patel expecting great representation, but I ended up getting so much more. He is a great person. I will refer anyone and will return should I need to.

Super attorney

Nishit was an excellent advocate for my case. The professionalism he exhibited throughout my divorce case impeccable. His consistent level demeanor and focus was outstanding, and his attention to detail was unquestioned. I believe that any client would be extremely fortunate to have this gentleman... represent you regarding any legal matter.
