Criminal Attorney Anita Patel

During November 2013 I met with and retained Attorneys Anita Patel and Gregory Caplan concerning a Misdemeanor Notice to Appear I had received for carrying a weapon into an airport. Attorney Patel fully explained my situation and said I may be a candidate for an LA City Attorney Office Hearing. I p...rovided requested information and a letter was prepared and faxed to the LA City Attorney who immediately called Attorney Patel and said a Office Hearing was granted. My hearing was at the airport courthouse. I meet with Attorney Patel to further discuss the hearing and we then we went into the office. The Hearing Officer asked to speak privately with Attorney Patel. She the came back out with the Hearing Officer who said Attorney Patel was a great attorney and one of the attorneys he enjoyed working with. We stepped outside the office and Attorney Patel told me that the Hearing Officer was going to close my case with no further action required. I am so grateful to Anita for her thoughtful preparation of my case and excellent reputation with the LA City Attorney's office. She was very knowledgeable and immediately answered all my questions. I felt well prepared for the Hearing Officer meeting. During the six week process she always kept me informed. I strongly recommend Attorney Patel.

Anita saved the day!

I couldn't recommend Anita any more highly! She did an amazing job and she is an absolute gem - she is a sincerely good person who is fantastically good at what she does. Anita handled my case earlier this month and I couldn't be happier with the results. She was thorough and professional, and bes...t of all extremely easy to get in contact with. After speaking with the prosecutor she was able to arrange an alternative program with easy, minimal requirements and an extended period of time with which to take care of them. Upon completion my case was DISMISSED entirely! I'd recommend Anita in a heartbeat to anyone looking for an attorney who will be there when you need them, walk you through the process, and then get you the best results possible.

Great Criminal Defense Attorney

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.

Dream Attorney Anita Patel

I never thought that I would have to hire a defense attorney; however, when I, for the first time in my life, learned that I was facing criminal charges, I called Greg Caplan who after I explained my situation about a petty theft charge, he quickly urged me to call Anita Patel. He convinced me that A...nita is the best lawyer out there across the board. He was right! Anita will get you the best result possible in your situation. She will advocate for you to ensure the best outcome. In my situation i recently got in trouble with the law with a petty theft charge. It was an extremely stressful and nerve-wrecking situation. Anita helped me through it every step of the way. She is extremely professional, beyond what you would expect. She always answered my calls and addressed my concerns right away. She took so much time to thoroughly explain my situation to me and all the possible outcomes. Her immediate support and attention helped calm me during a time of distress. She is a lawyer whom you can trust will have your best interest and fight for it. On my court date, she was very supportive, and walked me through everything step by step. She is very well respected by the judges, DAs and all legal personnel with whom she works. Her charm and personality work to your advantage to ensure the best outcome in your situation. Not only that, but Anita remained loyal and committed to me as a client even after my court appearance. She advocated on my behalf to get more time of my case. She even represented me on my second court date since i was unable to make it that day. Thanks for that Anita. She worked against all odds and was self-motivated to follow up and follow up and use her charm and professionalism and all the skills that make her a great lawyer to get me the result I needed. She convinced the DA to charge me from petty theft to trespassing. I was amazed by this and happy. Bottom line is, Anita is smart, professional, loyal, passionate and result-driven. What else could you dream of in an attorney? Seriously, if you're in any trouble with the law and need peace of mind, contact Anita Patel. She will take care of you 100%.
