When you google top rated drug case lawyers in illinois Purav pops up .... When I say this man does his job he most definitely do and very responsive and on time so if you need a lawyer this is the man to contact you won’t be sorry ........
All though I am not too happy that I had to employ the services of Purav for the second time now lol I am extremely satisfied with the quality and professionalism he exhibited. Having multiple lawyers throughout my young life I can emphatically say Purav exemplifies every quality you want in an attorney. He is professional, courteous, responsive, but above all else he is honest and sets realistic expectations rather than telling the client what he thinks you want to hear. Theres nothing worse than walking into a courtroom unsure of the worst and best case scenario and Purav guided me through the process step by step each way. Also though this may not happen everytime, the ruling he predicted would happen did in fact come true. Now he is not cheap, but I'll end it with this...how much money is your freedom worth? Thanks again Purav -Alex

Changed my opinion of Lawyer's
Mr. Bhatt represted me in traffic court yesterday and got the case dismissed in 5 minutes. I am disabled in part to suffering from PTSD with panic disorder. From our first conversation he assured me that I should relax and let him do his job. I was sceptical about all attorneys until I met with Mr. Bhatt and saw that he really cares about his clients and when he got my case completely dismissed the is no question in my mind that I highly recommend him for any case you may have from minor to the most serious. He is the "Real Deal" when it comes to integrity and effectiveness. He won't just take your money and forget about you. Thank you Mr Bhatt!

Mr. Purav Bhatt is a great attorney!
My case was special because I live out of state. When I spoke to Mr. Purav Bhatt for the first time, he took away my worries. He had goals for my case and showed me steps by steps to get the case dismissed. And it happened. You could contact him any time and he made it easy for you to get things done. He also saved me one flight trip to the court. Highly recommended Mr. Purav Bhatt for your case.

Retail theft charges - case dismissed
Our life turned upside down when my wife had an anxiety attack and was arrested for retail theft. It was a nightmare. I went through online blogs & avvo search and consulted few lawyers. Purav stood out from everyone. His online posts on this issue were very helpful. Atleast 2 people in our extended social circle recommended Purav and so we felt comfortable hiring him. He never over promised the outcome but gave us enough confidence in our case. Also he never judged us. Many months ago we'd have dismissed stories of anxiety attacks but I saw how sudden twists in life can bring those to you. Purav handled the case well and got the charges dismissed. He stayed in touch through out this process and clearly explained his plan of action to us. He was on time on court dates and spoke to public prosecutors early to help close the case. He is also helping us with the expungement process. We found his services to be reasonably priced compared to some other lawyers we spoke to through avvo (some did try to trick us or scare us to pay 5 times more!). We will always remain thankful to Purav!

Retail Theft Misdemeanour
Purav was really helpful in resolving a case of retail theft misdemeanour. I consulted several lawyers but Purav not only suggested options that no one else did, but he also came through on them. He brought down the sentencing to 8 hours of community service which were performed before the hearing. He was also prompt in his communication throughout the process. His confidence inspired some in me and went a long way in helping me keep my calm. I would strongly recommended his services.

Misdemeanor case dismissed in cook county
Purav Bhat is an experienced defense attorney. His professional work, wisdom, knowledge of legal system and empathy makes him even fantastic lawyer. I was wrongfully charged with misdemeanor case but Pura’s expertise in the cook county legal system made my case complete dismissed. I will consider him not only my legal adviser but also as my mentor. I was extremely nervous about the outcome of my case but he always gave me advice and counseling that eased my tension. Without his help and support my case would not have dismissed. I am grateful to him for his extra ordinary work. I f you or your loved ones ever face any devastation of criminal charges, please call Purav Bhatt. You will be glad that you did. My one right phone call made my life changed - where I am today- no conviction but complete dismissed. Now Purav is working on my expungement

Retail Theft Charges - Case Dismissed
On an unfortunate day my relative was caught for shoplifting. He was on a visitors visa and was given a court date which was beyond his travel back date. Dealing with stiff timelines here Purab got an early court date, suggested us what social activity we need to do before we face the judge. On the hearing day things were all in line and he was able to get the case dismissed. He was there all along and was very communicative. He worked his way around and got what we needed. Thanks much to him and surely recommend his services to others.

Illinois vs Ballard
Att. Bhatt did an excellent job in representing my family member. He was not expensive at all and if you work with him on the amount for him to take the case he will definitely work with you. I was very pleased with his work ethic, and his confidentiality of the case. I would definitely recommend Att. Bhatt to others as an Attorney.
Att. Bhatt I personally want to thank you for all your hard work and dedication on our case. I know that my nephew thanks you as well.
Sincerely
A satisfied Client!!!!

The best criminal defense attrorney in Chicago I have dealt with
I got in an argument with a woman at an ATM, and wound up being arrested for battery. I was very upset about being arrested and charged with battery, and I was worried about being convicted and having to explain this to every job I apply for in the future. I got even more concerned when the woman who claimed I "battered" her showed up to court multiple times to try and make sure I got convicted! I searched the internet for the best criminal defense attorneys or lawyers in Chicago.
I spoke with about five other attorneys before I hired Mr. Bhatt. It was very difficult to get any lawyer on the phone. When I did get a hold of them, they did a poor job of relating to me or even listening to my story.
Mr. Bhatt returned my call within 24 hours, and asked me to fully explain the story from beginning to end. He understood the pertinent details, and quoted me a price that was much better than some of the other lawyers I spoke to.
After speaking with other lawyers, it was clear he stood out from his competitors. It seemed to me he was crisper, more competent, and just did a much better overall job of customer service.
So I am writing this positive review for Mr. Bhatt because he did follow through with everything he said he would do. I was very pleased when my case was dismissed unexpectedly, and I give credit to Mr. Bhatt for ensuring the favorable outcome.
I was fully expecting to go to trial, and Mr. Bhatt understood that, and seem well prepared to do so.
After the case was dismissed, he offered to help make sure I knew how to expunge this arrest from my record. I very much appreciated that reminder.
I highly recommend hiring a lawyer who has worked as a prosecutor before, and Mr. Bhatt has such experience.

Purav Bhatt is intelligent , Competent and Reliable .
Mr.Bhatt handle a matter for me and got the optimal result .He got the charges dismissed and averted the necessity ( and stress and uncertainty) of a trial . Oance my civil lawyer placed me in contact with Mr.Bhratt , an enormous load was lifted from my shoulders .He was extremely competent and professional .Perhaps most importantly ,Mr .Bhatt conveyed to me from the outset that I had placed the matter in his care and could trust that he would take care ot the problem . The peace of my mind he gave me was indescribably impotrant .I felt very fortunate to have had him sa my lawyer .

"I worked opposite of Purav for years when he was a prosecutor; more recently, we've worked together on cases as fellow defense attorneys. Purav knows the law, and he knows how the beat the government's case. I would highly recommend Purav to anyone charged with a serious criminal offense in state or federal court."

"I would highly recommend Attorney Bhatt to anyone charged with a criminal matter, whether it is in State or Federal court. In fact, I have called Bhatt on more than one occasion to ask him questions about criminal cases because I trust his legal knowledge and judgment.
Bhatt is an asset to any accused person or corporation because he has worked on both sides of criminal law. Having been a prosecutor in Chicago, Bhatt knows how to defend his clients' cases because he knows what the prosecutor is thinking and what the prosecutor will try to elicit at trial. Another great asset that Bhatt has is his trial experience. Many attorneys say that they are "trial" lawyers, but they do not have the record to prove it; that is not the case here. Bhatt has successfully defended both bench and jury trials. He's a true criminal defense attorney, dedicated to his clients."
