Highly trusted

After I had an accident, I was looking for a good lawyer, and After some searching, I quickly realized that finding a good lawyer is a big deal. And it turned out to be very difficult to find a good lawyer in my city. I received a letter in the mail from Baku Petel and called the number. From the fir...st words, I felt that I could trust the professionals who extended a helping hand to me. All my calls were responding all the time, all my questions were answered. There wasn't a single day to make me doubt. It took a little over a year for my lawyer to settle all the issues. But we followed a predetermined plan, and all the deadlines were agreed and explained. So it was easy for me to wait and understand what was going on. I received my check and I am very happy, I am lucky that we have such a professional team as Baku Petel.co nearby.

Handled Injury Case

After breaking by back in multiple places in an accident, he handled everything so I could focus on physical therapy and recovering. The staff was very helpful, i was treated like an actually human not a paycheck. Answered every time i called and i always left with the full explanation of my questio...n(s) answered. (Never felt like i had a dumb question either.) When entering the building you will be greeted with a friendly hello or how are you holding up today? I highly recommend him. Professional and friendly, stop looking hes your guy.

Jury trial

Mr. Patel did a great job in my case. He defended the best he possible could until the end and I was found not not guilty. He is a very nice and personable guy that cared a lot about me and helping me out. He is an excellent lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone. One of the other things I like... a about him is that he is a no bullshit kinda person that told me the good and the bad every step of the way.

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.

Not for DUIs.

As far as DUIs are concerned this man knows absolutely nothing. He completely screwed my case after I consulted with a REAL DUI attorney in Chicago I found out I could have had my license back about a year and half ago but because of the MANY things this lawyer did not inform me of my process has tu...rned into what will now be a 2 year ordeal. I just don't think he should advertise himself as a DUI attorney if that is not his knowledge base.
