Shop Lifting

Great Lawyer
My fiance hired Mr Bhatt for a case that his son caught right after turning 18. He handled the case professionally. 2 of the 3 charges were dropped(which were felony charges), and the third was lowered to a lessor charge. We would definately recommend this attorney.

"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Experience and knowledge defines this attorney. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Purav is an excellent attorney!"
"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."
"A truly excellent attorney well respected in the legal community. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer who knows the law and truly cares about protecting the rights of his clients and getting them the most favorable result possible."

After Mr.Bhatt switched sides, I saw how skilled he was as a private lawyer advocating for his clients. Now that we are. Both private attorneys, I'm excited to work with such a sincere, genuine lawyer who advocates for his clients and knows the law. I have no reservations recommending Mr. Bhatt."
