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 .

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.

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.

Honest, Excellent Legal counsel

I am a current client of Nishit's. Having met him just before he started his own practice, I was taken by his attention to my initial needs and crystal clear take on my situation.It wasn't a reach for me to keep him on into his own practice. My case involves interstate custody, visitation and support... issues. A five year old divorce that required a methodic , disection of all that was wrongly awarded. For a civil matter, my stakes were very high. He is extremely professional and truly loves his craft. He practices with integrity and seems to expect the same from his clients. I believe that comes from his true respect of our legal process. He has only conferred with me when I had his undivided attention and for me that truly matters. He has shown up totally prepared for every preceeding as if my case is his only one. An aggressive , no nonsense attorney that I highly recommend and will retain him again in all future legal endeavours

Great Attorney!

Nishit has done an excellent job handling my case. Before I have retained him I have met with few top attorneys in town and not one of them was able to offer me reasonable advice and help. Nishit has been very efficient, knowledgeable, receptive and very adoptable to each arising situation. He has al...so shown patience and kept his composure in difficult to handle moments. His confidence kept me calm and in a very short period of time I was able to develop trust in his work and expertise handling my case. I couldn't ask for a better attorney to help me and get the result I was looking for. I will use Nishit's services in the near future again and will definitely recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy and very solid family attorney.
