EXCELLENT LAWYER!

Recently I was involved in a very complicated situation, a situation in which I thought I wasn’t going to get out so easily. But Anita Patel, my defense attorney and my hero, she help me to resolve my case. She is very professional and she is always available. If I have any concerns, I either can ...call or E-mail her. She always, respond to me in a timely manner. I felt very comfortable talking with her about the case, and felt free to ask her anything. Before the court date, She call and advice me how to dress and explain to me step by step about what is going to happen at the court. Anita Patel managed my case with professionalism, and thanks to her knowledge and experience I get my case Expunge early.I am very happy with the outcome, and I am more than grateful with Anita Patel. I would recommend her to everyone.

Great Lawyer. Highly recommended.

I would highly recommend Anita Patel. She was very nice and made me feel very comfortable. I recently had a criminal matter to deal with and she listened to me and communicated with me about the whole matter during the process. After she gathered all of my materials and sent a beautifully written ...letter on my behalf to the DA, I was able to have the matter off my record after completion of a program. She is the best!

Top Notch

Anita did an excellent job of managing my felony case. I found myself on the hook for something that wasn't really my fault and thanks to Anita my record is now clear. She's knowledgeable and proactive and because of that she was able to navigate my maze of legal issues in a way that made me fee...l confident in a favorable outcome for me. Hopefully I won't need to hire her again, but I wouldn't hesitate to if the need arises.

An EXCELLENT choice in legal representation. A++

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!

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!
