Estate Help After Death of Father

I normally do not post reviews but felt compelled after working with Shivon and her team. My husband and I met Shivon last year to help us with my late father's estate. My father had many properties and assets that we were not aware of and passed with only a will after a short battle with cancer. ...Shivon guided us through the entire probate process and helped us liquidate the assets over time. My siblings and I are so appreciative of Shivon and her abilities to walk us through the very complicated legal processes over the past year. Having gone through this lengthy estate experience, my husband and I had Shivon do our estate planning and trust as well to protect us. My entire family will always be forever grateful to Shivon and will use her services exclusively in the future for our legal needs.

Intelligent Attorney

Mrs. Patel is by far the smartest transactional attorney I have used in the past 20 years. As a real estate investor who has worked with many attorneys in my years, she is by far the most creative and shrewd in her field of law. I also appreciate that Mrs. Patel does not delve in criminal, personal... injury, etc. type of law that many other attorneys do while claiming to be real estate attorneys. In short, she sticks to what she knows and is extremely good at it. I use her firm exclusively for all closing work, contracts and real estate transactions I enter. I have engaged her services on 6 real separate estate transactions and she has never disappointed and has saved me considerable money by getting out of bad deals. My only regret was not finding her earlier in my career.

Shivon Patel Review

Shivon is an outstanding attorney and by far the best I have used for my business and personal legal needs. I contracted her firm to handle a complicated multi party business litigation case. Highly competent and they work very fast immediately. I have also used Shivon's firm for my own personal e...state planning and asset protection as a business owner. When multiple friends/family of mine recommended her firm, it was a very easy decision for me.

Property Sale

Shivon was referred for a sale of my commercial investment property. Very smart attorney and was able to negotiate very favorable terms with buyer and their attorney. Helped draft legal and finance docs and also handled closing for us. From start to finish, we are very happy to use her office and ...she made sure we were protected the entire way. Will be using her office for all of our future legal needs.

Sale of Business

Met this lawyer and two others in the Lake Mary/Sanford area and did not charge me initial consultation fees to see lawyer. This office was the one I felt most comfortable with regarding the sale of my business as they seem to do lot of this work. This lawyer helped close my business sale along wit...h contract review and purchase review. There are many lawyers but this is one of the better firm in our area. Very professional level of service.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
