Anita P Patel

I contacted Anita a few weeks ago for help with resolving a bench warrant that had been issued for a failure to appear on a traffic fine. She was very up front about telling me what I needed to do and what I needed to bring with me to court to get the best possible resolution of my warrant. Obviou...sly, she has seen many cases similar to mine - because it worked like a charm! Even though I had missed the deadline to pay off my citation by about 8 months and was issued a bench warrant with a $5,000 bail, my court appearance was quick and painless. I basically got off scot-free, all I had to do was pay the original fine plus a $25 processing fee. I'd say from the time I appeared before the judge, we were in and out of the courthouse in roughly 20 minutes, and 15 - 16 of those minutes were spent waiting for the paperwork to make it's way from the courtroom to the clerk's office so I could resolve my fine. I can't say enough about Anita's professionalism, attention to detail, punctuality, and overall what a pleasant experience it was working with her. Thanks Anita!

My son carelessly left some self-defense weapons in his carry-on luggage going through airport security at LAX on the way back home to San Francisco, and received a misdemeanor citation to appear in Superior Court in LA later in the month. We were very concerned since my son aspires to a law enforcem...ent career, and this type of case could seriously affect his future career opportunities. Further, we were concerned since we needed legal representation "out of town" in LA, and we were in San Francisco. We were lucky enough to find Anita Patel and Greg Caplan to represent my son. Anita took the lead, and she was very competent and professional. She used her considerable persuasive powers to convince the hearing officer at the City Attorney's office to not even file the case at all into the Court system, never mind having to "win" the case. As a result, my son was able to maintain a "clean record", and it was the best possible outcome we could hope for. I credit this outcome to Ms Patel's thoroughly capable representation. After the case was dropped, she quickly wrote us a long letter explaining the results, a very excellent follow-up. We are very happy with her work and of her partner Greg Caplan.

Anita Patel is one of the best find's I have found when it comes to hiring a lawyer in LA County. She was very professional, has an abundance of resources, extremely fast and very knowledgeable. Every dime that I spent to hire her was very much worth it and paid back in full as she helped me achi...eve a much lighter sentencing. Hopefully I will not be getting into trouble anytime soon but I would gladly use her again and will be recommending her to my friends/family. Tony

On May 21, 2010 I was arrested at Macys for petty theft. I honestly felt that my life was over until I contacted Anita Patel. Anita really went above and beyond to really fight for me. Since this was my first time ever getting into trouble with the law I had so many questions and she was able to a...nswer them and really explain what my rights and steps were for my case. She advised me to provide letters and write an autobiography about myself to really show my good qualities and my character. I provided her with all these documents which really helped and within a matter of days she already started to work on my case. Anytime I had questions I would email her and she would respond so quickly and it wasn’t just once it was several times. She was also really good about returning phone calls and keeping me updated on the details of my case. A week before my case I called her around 6:30 p.m. and I could tell she was at home because I heard her doing dishes and something in the kitchen. I know it was late but I was really having a nervous breakdown. Anita kept me calm, told me not to give up hope and to know that she hasn’t given up hope for me. She told me that she is going to fight till the end to get the best outcome out of my case. The fact that it was after hours and that she was so kind to take my call made me feel really good. I felt at ease after speaking to her and knew that she was on my side. Before my actual court date she advised me what to expect so there were no surprises. On June 18, 2010 my court date she went in spoke with the Prosecutor/Deputy before court and presented my case. She actually got a better deal than what I was expecting and I was really shocked. Anita discussed what they were willing to offer me and explained to me how it will work. The charge went from Petty theft to trespassing, WOW unbelievable. I am so impressed with the outcome of my hearing and so pleased with the deal she was able to get for me. She’s a fantastic lawyer and I really enjoyed working with her. I will definitely recommend her to my friends and family members who ever need an attorney. Anita definitely looks out for your best interest and has great communication skills and truly cares. She really saved my life and my future because without her my future would have been in the drain. I really appreciate her dedication, kindness and time she spent with me.
