I was awarded everything I was asking for!

I was referred to Boreale Law Office by my divorce attorney. Having never met in person before working together I did not expect to be as cared after, listened to, and so exceptionally guided through my very sticky & personal eviction as I did working with Samit. This already difficult situation was ...made a lot more difficult by the restrictions of the current Covid 19 guidelines. I was lost, confused and I lacked the knowledge and confidence I could maneuver through this tricky process successfully on my own. I was spoken to with dignity, kindness and respect. I was kept involved and up to speed on my case or communications consistently. I was involved in ideas, informed and educated on all the new restrictions and guidelines in a very professional yet “this is new to us too” way. Handling this the way he did made me feel secure in my decision to work with Samit. He never lacked the confidence that he knew the answer or the willingness to involve other capable minds to help me get the job done. Even when all of the CDC and Covid restrictions being new to everyone involved in the process, I felt nothing but professional confidence that He would find the answers, do the work, and represent myself and my family name exactly as I would have hoped for. I was awarded everything I was asking for in my case and couldn’t be more thrilled! I can say with confidence that I would have had very different results if it not for the talented Mr. Samit Bhalala and the Boreale team!

Trust Restatement and Estate Docs - excellent experience all around

My wife and I selected Samit from a list of attorneys recommended by Hyatt Legal Services, which we subscribe to. He did not disappoint. Although our trust restatement was unique and somewhat complicated, Samit was fine with it. He scheduled a videoconference (this was early on in the pandemic) and w...e went through what we were interested in doing and why. After a short time, Samit came back with a set of draft documents for our review. We responded with a list of questions, referencing each question by document/paragraph number. We held a second videoconference to discuss the questions. Samit explained all the legalese with practiced skill and patience so that we understood. We discussed changes we were interested in and we each made a list of changes for him to work on. A second draft soon ensued. This time, since so little was off, we were able to make edits directly to the document. He compared the submitted docs with what he sent us, approved the changes, and we had a final set of document and a restated living trust. We met with Samit and a notary public to execute all the documents. And with that, we could finally relax. Samit was a pleasure to work with. At one point, as our trust desires were complex, I told him that, if what he was getting from Hyatt was not enough, we would gladly add whatever he thought appropriate. He declined, saying that he was being fairly compensated. We were shocked, since the last time we went through this process, our previous lawyer demanded additional payment. We feel this says a lot about Samit's approach - he is our advocate first and foremost. In short, the whole process was painless and the new set of documents are well done. We were not expecting the professionalism, humor, and general likeability in a lawyer. It was an unexpected surprise. We highly recommend Samit Bhalala.

great and patience attorney

Samit Bhalala was presented with a grand "mess" of my outdated Trust!! He had to redo all of it, including all of my new changes He was very patient, thorough, and had our (my husband's wasn't a mess like mine!) new Trusts/Wills completed in a timely manner and explained it all in a language I act...ually understood!! We are very pleased that we were lucky enough to have found Samit and will use only him in the future. Thanks, Samit!
