Highly recommend his expertise

Mr. Patel took my case immediatley after hearing of the injustices. He fought tenaciously against the 4 class x felonies totaling a possible 240 years. He knew I was innocent and exposed the corruption of the truth and the lying by state officials. He more than won the case and corrected a wrong, h...e guided and supported us throughout the process. Before hiring any one else, Patel should be consulted. If you feel like no one else is listening, or it is a complicated or dangerouse case to fight or if you need civil litigation and help understanding the complicated process that is the legal-justice system, Patel in Urbana Illinois is the team to go to.

Highly recommend

Mr. Patel did an amazing job defending my fiance against heinous false accusations. He saved my family. He is definitely the man you want in your corner!

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 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.

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.
