High Quality Legal Service

Ms Patel performed an excellent work representing me in L.A. Court. She managed to dismiss a criminal complaint against me due to her great technical expertise, and good communication and interpersonal skills. After speaking with her several times via email (cause I live in a different country), she ...oriented me about the matter, asked for documents and proofs, and headed to court, achieving that amazing outcome. I must say she was always courteous and helpful answering questions and clearing my doubts. She provided quality service and responsiveness with a reasonable legal fee . I'm totally satisfied and pleased with her work, so I could not recommend her any higher.

Amazing!

I called the police during an argument with my husband and was arrested and charged with felony spousal abuse. We were both in utter shock and completely devastated. I had never gone through anything like this before and was completely at a loss. I called Anita after finding her on Avvo and she start...ed on my case immediately. She compiled a beautifully written letter on my behalf along with character references that she asked me to collect and sent them to the DA and city attorney's offices in an effort to avoid a court hearing and have an office hearing instead. She let me know that she had spoken to the DA's office and that they had received all the documents she had compiled on my behalf and were just waiting for the case to cross their desk. This all happened within a week of contacting her. During the several days of waiting for a response from the DA's office, Anita always kept me informed and checked in on me. I also emailed, texted, and called Anita several times with my questions and concerns, and she was always very accessible and responded the same day. When the DA's office finally got my case and reviewed all the documents, they completely rejected my case and did not file any charges! This was even better than the office hearing that I was hoping for. Anita is simply amazing. She was very proactive and took into consideration all my concerns. She also took extra steps in an abundance of caution to make sure that we would have the best result. Thanks to her, I have peace of mind. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a thorough, knowledgeable, proactive, and responsive attorney.

Foreign Case closed with great ending

Mrs. Patel and her office has closed a case I had since 1997, I'm a Brazilian and could not appear in court and she, through email and appearances in court had the ability to represent me and close the case with a misdemeanor, that helped a lot my situation. She is very good lawyer and kept me inform...ed of all proceeding at all time, and I live in Brazil. All through emails and mail exchanges. I Recommend her work as a fine lawyer he is.

Total dismissal

I could not recommend Anita any higher! My son had a fake idea confiscated at a concert and given a misdemeanor. Anita helped creating a bio for him and used that in her case. My son did not have to appear and Anita got a total dismissal with no further action required. Anita was friendly, respons...ive and totally professional. Thank you Anita!

Very professional and organized

Anita provided great services and kept me up to date on my case very often. She was able to represent me out in California as I am a resident in Florida. She was able to get my whole case completely dismissed I highly recommend her!
