Awesome trial lawyer
Baku has represented me on two different occassions for two different cases. One thing is he was straight with me about my chances. Some people don't like to hear that the evidence is against them, but I appreciate that he pushed me in the right direction so that I didn't make a stupid mistake. In th...

Useless, hands off, does little work
Patel, defended a family member in a drug case and while his claims of his greatness seem to good to be true..THEY ARE.

I fire...

He gets the job done!
Mr. Patel represented me in a very difficult case going above and beyond what any other attorney would have done. I put my life in his hands and he gathered the evidence and used his experience and expertise to eloquently present the complex case to the jury; with "Not Guilty" results. I have highl...
