Personal review

Patel was truly a blessing when I came to him I thought for sure my record would of been ruined but he was smart and he knew what to do. One of the best attorneys around in my opinion and I hope I never have to use his services again but in case I do he will be my number one choice

Great DUI Lawyer

I went to Mr. Patel's office after I was charged with a DUI. Although I didn't speak to Baku Patel, I was assigned to another lawyer, Steve Sarm. Steve was excellent in communicating the details of my case, made sure I understood the process and was available to answer any questions that I had. I met... with him several times to prepare for my case and during my court appearances and discussions with the Judge, Steve did a great job in fighting for the best outcome that I could have hoped for. I would absolutely recommend Steve for a DUI case.

The Wrost choice!!....BAD LAWYER!!!!

This guy is a total phony!! I hired him and paid him a huge sum of money.He talked a big game but in the end he forced me to take deal. Totally incompetent. He sucks so bad. Please do not put you're life in this man's hands.

Proficient Lawyer

I hired Patel to take on my case. Out of all the choices of lawyers in town he seemed to be the only one fit to take on the case. I was a felon who was accused of being in possession of a firearm. Patel was efficient and straight to the point; he was always available when we had questions. The case b...oiled down to hearsay. We ended up taking the case to trial and in three days with a decision from a jury all charges were dropped. Patel and his team are professionals and handle this case very well. I would recommend him without thinking twice.

GREAT Lawyer

Mr. Patel handled my criminal case. He was very attentive to my case and my needs. In the end we requested trial and the charges were dismissed.
