Jay Patel

More than a review, this is a public thank you to Jay Patel, who became my attorney and tireless advocate at a potentially life altering moment for me. Courteous, professional, reassuring and straight forward. While it was my challenge, Jay led the way seeing it through to a positive and successful ...outcome. Without him, my stress level would have been intolerable, and I highly doubt many others could have handled the situation as expertly Jay did. I can neither thank nor recommend Jay enough.

Jay helped me during a time where I felt the world was crashing down on me all at once. I regret to say I had gotten myself into a situation that seemed Impossible for me to find a way out of, but when a family friend referred me to Jay, I finally had hope. Right away he made my family and I aware of... what happens next and what he was going to start doing to move forward with the courts. Most importantly he gave me assurance that I was in the right hands for the the situation I was in and after hearing his sense of professionalism and calm yet focused demeanor during phone call, I realized I was in the right hands and I relaxed. I once was forced to see the reality of possibly serving jail time or having a very ugly record, and now Im on the path to having my charges completely dropped and I have no one else to thank for that besides Jay and his wonderful staff at Anchors Smith Grimsley. Everyone is professional, helpful and relentless in their goal to defend the client. I am beyond grateful for my second chance.

My name is Nick and I was extremely fortunate to have Jay Patel represent me in my recent case. I was unfortunately looking at some serious charges and jail time due to a poor decision I made. Alcholol was the underlining issue for my action and something that I had been struggling with for a while. ...Jay was able to conceal me on getting help to a treatment center and also leverage in my case the willingness we were taking to get help to show the court I was doing the right thing to becoming a better citizen in the community. In addition, Jay was able to dissect the police report and find multiple errors that the arresting officer made at the time of arrest that helped the overall case. Jay and his legal team stayed in constint communication with me giving me updates along the way so I knew where we were in the whole process. This gave me confidence that Jay and his team were going to batt for me every day to insure the best outcome possible. I was very thankful when I got the call from Jay that he was able to get all charges dropped in my case due to all the evidence Jay gattered and was able to execute on my behalf. I never had to attend any court hearings or show up for anything. He was able to attend on my behalf and handle the whole situation for me. I couldn't be more satisfied with Jay and his team. I know that a public defender nor another legal team would have done the leg work to find the evidence that he did that ultimately lead to Jay putting pressure on the DA to drop the charges. I would highly recommend Jay and his team to any case.

Needed a criminal lawyer. Ended up with Mr. Jay Patel after firing my first lawyer. My first lawyer was hastily hired using word of mouth and being an acquaintance of a friend. He was terrible. He over charged me. My case was stretched out unnecessarily. He did not keep me informed and frankly l...ied to me claiming to have done things which he never did. As my case was coming to a close I decided to fire him. After extensive research both online and around town, Mr. Jay Patel's name came up. Asked a few attorney's I was interviewing for another matter if Mr. Jay Patel was legit and they all said yes -- no reservations. My experience with Mr. Patel was exceptional. He was very informative as was his paralegal. Kept me up to date with every change in my case. Answered every question. Gave sound and straightforward legal advice. Because there was not much left to do in my case, Mr. Patel came back to me and told me he would refund my some of the money I had paid. That was definitely a stunning gesture I did not anticipate. My message to Mr. Patel is please continue your work ethic and stay on course to have a stellar career. Be the paragon of professionalism and integrity for all other attorneys. I recommend Mr. Patel without any reservation.

Jay’s resume speaks for itself, with a great breath of knowledge, he has experience in every aspect of criminal law. This experience has given him a very practical and realistic approach in his defense. His interactions with the Judge and Prosecutor were nothing short of professional. Once my case ...was up, you could feel the mood of the whole courtroom change. It was very evident that Jay has a very professional yet personal presence in the courtroom. The Judge and Prosecutor appeared to be relieved to be dealing with Jay. I was facing a DUI, which would have been career ending. As a professional, I would have lost all my certifications and eligibility for any further certifications and licensing. Jay and Sarah were very understanding to my situation. They answered all my questions promptly and professionally. As with any professional relationship, there needs to be mutual respect and effort to reach a goal. Jay was very open to my expectation, concerns and situation. Jay was also, very clear of his expectations and explained their importance. Having a great working relationship with Jay resulted in Reckless Driving with very minimal penalties.
