FORMER PROSECUTOR DEDICATED TO CRIMINAL DEFENSE. EXPERTISE YOU CAN TRUST

Experience is the key when it comes to criminal law. I handle everything from traffic tickets to felony drug crimes, assault and battery, DUI and more.

I have served as both an Assistant District Attorney and a Public Defender for Liberty County, Georgia, and I am an active member of the Chatham County DUI court team. The knowledge I have from both sides of the courtroom gives me a tremendous advantage in crafting effective defense strategies. 

Since founding my law firm in 2014, I have handled a number of high-profile cases. One notable case was the hatchet murder in Hinesville, in which I defended a client accused of double homicide.

I am a sole practitioner and ensure my clients get one-on-one attention. I personally answer the phone, listen to concerns, answer questions and address clients’ needs. In addition, the small size of my practice means I keep my fees reasonable.

Professional, Straightforward, and got the job done.
I had been charged with two misdemeanors. Mr. Patel was able to meet after hours to accommodate my work schedule. The consult was quick and to the point. He gave me honest options. Court was easy and he kept me informed of what was happening at every point.

Excellent DUI defense!
Sneh knows the ins and outs of DUI defense, and was able to get DUI charges reduced and my license wasn't suspended. Seemed to have good relationships with the people in the district attorney's office from what I could tell, and he was almost always available whenever I needed to talk to him. I did not have to go to a trial so I can't offer a review there, but he resolved the issue much quicker than I expected and I was happy with his service. He was very straightforward and no nonsense (but still easy to talk to), which suited me well. I would use him again if needed (though I hope I don't have to!), and recommend him to anyone looking for dui defense.

Professional, informative, Quick responsiveness
Mr. Patel met with me on a Sunday afternoon on his day off and having lunch. He made my wife and I feel very comfortable with his knowledge and truthfulness about our situation. He was very thorough in explaining the worst outcome of the situation along with what he could do for a positive outcome, when all was said and done we received the best outcome for our situation. I would recommend Patel law firm of savannah Georgia to any in need of law representation.

Owner Operator
All I can say is Mr. Patel did exactly what he said he would do. At first I was a little skeptical whereas I have use an attorney in the past and when it was all said and done they did absolutely nothing and I still got charged. This process did not require any unnecessary back-and-forth. Snel got straight to business and informed me when it was all completed. A1 service!!

SATISFIED
A magnificent professional. He brilliantly represented me in Savannah, Ga. Very serious in his work. When other lawyers did not want to represent me, he, with great determination, took over and resolved my traffic case. I recommend it for those people who corrently need a good lawyer.

Great attorney! Mr. Patel represented me for my citations in Chatham county and was able to reduce my charges. He was very prompt in answering any questions I had throughout the case. He also did an excellent job explaining the next steps to take for my case and what to prepare for.

Best lawyer
When I first talked to him he was straight forward and told me I needed to complete 3 things. That was the drug and alcohol evaluation, risk reduction course and the drug and alcohol panel. He also let me pay him monthly until I was finish paying him. We Went to court the first and requested to see the video. Went back a month later and he got my dui reduced to a reckless driving. Attorney Patel did a great job with my case.

Public intoxication and obstruction
I had never had to face the courts and had no idea what to expect. Mr Patel made the experience as pain free as possible. My case was resolved prior to my court appearance and resolved with my privacy kept in mind. He seems to have a good rapport with the prosecutor and others in the court system. Always available, kind spirited and very knowledgeable. Mr Patel was a prosecutor at one point in his career. I find this to be a great asset in a successful defense attorney. I would use him again and highly recommend him and his services.

Great Lawyer
He is a great lawyer. He worked for me and I didn't bend over backwards to try to get anything done, he handled everything really well. I would recommend anyone who got charged with a DUI to Mr. Patel. He dropped my DUI to reckless driving.

Wouldn't choose anyone else for dui defense
I was face with a dui among other charges. Mr Patel took my case and was straight up from the beginning and had good communication during the entire process. All charges ended up being thrown out and we plead guilty to a lesser charge. No time, no points just a fine. I wouldn't hesitate to use Mr Patel again in the future if need be.

Straight and efficient
Sneh Patel handled a long-distance multiple felony case for my son who had been caught in the possession of multiple illegal substances in the county of Darien, a beautiful but remote and slow-paced place on the Georgian coastline. He acquitted himself of his tasks and challenges with great efficiency and superb professionalism. I would recommend his services to anyone, my friends included.

He knows how to empathize with a client, while being strong and realistic with the client about expectations. He has integrity, great experience in criminal law (a former Assistant District Attorney), and trial experience. He is a rare breed in the criminal law field and he is one among only a few criminal law attorneys I would recommend."
