Anita P Patel

I wholly recommend Anita Patel as a criminal defense attorney. She is highly knowledgable of the criminal legal system and being a former D.A. has a good rapport with the D.A. and City Attorneys. She had very little time to prepare for my case, but she did a great job gathering information from my ...interview and she clearly advised me of what would happen in the court process. I am so glad I called her and Greg Caplan because they both took the time to listen to me and understand the stress that currently impacts my life. A lapse in judgment caused me to do something that could impact my future, but Anita was able to get the City Attorney to reduce the charge and I received no formal probation. If you need an attorney who cares, I definitely recommend Anita Patel.

I learned a good life lesson the hard way, and thankfully I had Anita by my side! She took the time to walk me through each point of my case, and came up with a great angle and strategy to present to the court, that not only strengthened my case but also got great results. If I had questions or conc...erns at anytime, phone calls were always answered/returned, emails responded to, even text messages were replied! She's accessible, and I truly believe that it's because she genuinely cares! Even after judgement, Anita continued to follow up with me and check in on my progress to make sure I wouldn't find myself in the same predicament again (Which I surely won't!) Thank you Anita for everything! As I start my third year of law school, and then on to practicing...I am fortunate and grateful that our paths have crossed! You surely will be among the few mentors and examples that I will use to model the kind of attorney I will some day be!

I didn't know much about the law and could have been manipulated by the police and put in a terrible situation from the start. Anita took the time during our initial consult to explain the law, my rights, and my position. I was told what to expect and how to manage the situation. She was always easy ...to reach and quick to assist me. Throughout my case she continued to call me with updates on the status and searched whether charges had been filed. She protected my rights. Anita is professional, caring, reliable, and works hard for her clients! She has experience as a District Attorney so you can be assured that she knows what to expect with your case. Her initial actions ultimately prevented charges from being filed so I never had to make any statements or appear in court at all. I am very thankful that I had such a great lawyer defending my case!

Anita Patel provided me with excellent representation in my case. I was initially charged with both possession with intent and transport of a significant amount of controlled substances. She is a former narcotics prosecutor and very familiar with the ins and outs of the legal system. Having been a fo...rmer prosecutor, she knows and has a good rapport with the District Attorney involved with the case, and was able to get him to agree to allow treatment instead of the year in jail that the city had wanted. This outcome will allow me to make this a positive turning point in my life, instead of just wasting away in jail and being exposed to unhealthy conditions and violence. Anita was very attentive and communicative throughout the process and was able to answer my questions, and seemed to genuinely care about my well-being and the outcome of this case.

I strongly recommend Anita Patel to anyone needing a defense against criminal charges. I had been charged with felony burglary, and she was able to obtain a reduction in the charges to misdemeanor petty theft. She paid close attention to my case, responded to my calls and emails promptly, and ...kept me well informed. She wrote an excellent letter on my behalf to the District Attorney. She is experienced, professional, and trustworthy. Above all, I felt she truly cared about me as a person as well as a client. I recommend her with no hesitation whatsoever to those needing a strong criminal defense.
