Anything is possible for Anita and her firm of professionals!!

This is the best criminal attorney in Southern California! They even answer their cell phones. I highly reccomend her and her firm. I called 5 attorneys before finding Anita and Gregg Caplan. All of them told me it would be impossible to recall a bench warrant without me flying 3000 miles to be there... in person. Anita and Gregg where the only ones that would try. They made a plan and instructed me on what to do. Then they made it happen. They know the system and how to get real justice. These days attorneys get a bad rap but Anita Patel and Gregg Caplan are like a breath of fresh air.

Excellant review for Anita Patel

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.

Excellent Attorney

Unfortunately, I found myself in a bit of trouble and was lucky enough to find Anita. I work in the legal field and am surrounded by very high caliber attorneys all day long and I know a good attorney when I meet one, and that is Anita. She is as intelligent as she is genuine. She is very well ver...sed in criminal defense and has many contacts with prosecutors, etc. from her years as a prosecutor. Any attorney can represent you, but what you want in a situation like this is your attorney to have the right contacts. You always have a better chance at a more positive outcome if your attorney knows the system and knows the people that run it, i.e., the judges and prosecutors. From the moment Anita took my case, she starting working, preparing a letter to the prosecutor and giving me a list of things to get done to help my case, things I would never have thought of. Another huge plus is she is always available, never too busy to reassure you, answer a question or follow up with her client. She kept me informed every step of the way, and worked very hard to obtain the very best outcome. Her professionalism is second to none and I would not hesitate to referred her or, hire her again. Finally, I would like to say that Anita treated me with kindness and respect which I will never forget. Do not hesitate to hire Anita, you won't find a better attorney.

Professional, caring, knowledgeable, and straight-forward!

I can't say how thankful I was to have found an attorney like Ms. Anita Patel to assist me in my time of need. Not only was she extremely professional and knowledgeable about the Los Angeles County criminal court system but she was straight-forward about the details of my case and made no false prom...ises regarding the outcome of my petty theft case. Without Anita I would have faced more serious charges and final case judgment. As a result of her tireless efforts, my probation period was shortened and community service was issued and served with no other difficulty. I will go to her again to assist with my early termination of probation and expungement motion as I have grown to trust her abilities completely! To say she is a top tier criminal defense attorney is one thing but the level of comfort and reassurance that is conveyed by Anita is what makes her rise above the rest! I never felt judged and/or ashamed in her presence and she made my court appearances run smoothly and quickly. Anita is very easy to get in touch with, she responds to emails right away and you never feel as though she's farther than a phone call away. Her ability to explain details and answer questions in a way that is easy to comprehend for those not familiar with the criminal justice system is, for lack of a better word, excellent! I honestly felt as though she always put forth her best efforts on my behalf and she brings results! My eternal thanks to Ms. Anita Patel, she made a difference in my life! She took a tremondously difficult situation and made turned it into a non-life destroying one. I can't thank her enough!

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
