Anita P Patel

I came to Anita Patel in order to expunge a misdemeanor charge from my permanent record. She handled my issue promptly, professionally, and with genuine kindness. She really cares about her clients and works very hard to get the job done. My expungement wasn't an easy one. It was initially denied... by the courts, and I had no clue as to why. I spoke with a couple attorneys of this matter, however, Anita Patel was the first to approach this with a very positive and can-do attitude. She gave me hope when it seemed it was not possible. She was persistent with her efforts, and at the end I was granted an expungement. The bottom line is that Anita Patel is a FANTASTIC attorney. She has earned my trust, respect, and if the time ever came I would entrust her to represent me for any legal issue I may have. Thank you Mrs. Patel!

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!

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.
