Experience Excelence with her

She is one of the best lawyers I could ever ask for. She fought DA's decision about my son’s felony charge and was successful to keep him out of prison and eventually turn things around for the best. She answers her phone when you call and responds to massages as quickly as possible. She was in the... court and prepared before my wife and I got there every time and we trusted her on every step during the process. Because she made the right decisions. I highly recommend her and it was worth every penny that I spent.

Best Criminal Attorney in L.A./SAN FERNANDO VALLEY. Period.

I never thought I would need a criminal defense attorney, but I did. After interviewing several attorneys, I felt discouraged because they all seemed so “slick.” I felt like nothing more than another number running through their “defense mills.” Then I arrived at the office of Attorney Anita Patel.... I had done something I deeply regretted and was facing up to 3 years in prison and I needed someone whom I could trust and someone with a brain. I knew within 5 minutes that she was the person I wanted standing up for me in court. She has over 10 years experience as a District Attorney and this gives her an enormous edge over the myriad of defense lawyers out there. She knows the system, knows the judges and district attorneys and, following an extensive client interview, she plans your individual defense from day one. She spends time getting to know you. She will guide and direct you to things you can do to better your situation long before your court date. Of huge importance is that when you call Anita Patel, she actually answers the phone or calls you back! She will be the one in court with you, not someone you don’t know. You will get personal attention from her, and she really will work on your case and not just glance at your file 5 minutes before you case is called in court. She develops a customized plan to put you in the best possible position at the time of your court date. There are a host of criminal defense attorneys in the Yellow Pages and on the Internet, but if you want someone who is going to really help you, someone who will work hard to get you the best possible result, you want Anita Patel. Anita fought with the D.A. and the judge for over an hour to avoid jail time. She will tell you the truth and she won’t make false promises. I really believe that Anita Patel is the BEST ATTORNEY you will find at any price. She is an investment you won’t be sorry you make because your life will be so much better for having hired her as your attorney. She’s smart, savvy, well trained and caring. That is really what you need in an attorney when your life and freedom is on the line! Don’t believe advertisements online – take it from me because it was my life that was hanging the balance and I saw first-hand how hard she advocated on my behalf. To say that my result was excellent is an understatement. Not that I walked away scot-free, but I am posting this the same day as my first court appearance and I’m not in jail and my case was resolved today. DO YOURSELF OR YOUR LOVED ONE A FAVOR - HIRE HER.

Failure to appear - bench warrant resolution

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!

Best Criminal Defense Lawyer In LA COUNTY!

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
