Professional and Passionate Lawyer

Anita Patel was the first lawyer that I consulted and chose her to represent my case, I chose her based on the consultation and advice that she provided on the my first visit. She did good assessment of my case and gathered as much information as possible to either get case reduced or completely dism...issed. She is also honest and nice, she was able to get my case completely dismissed. I would recommend her to anyone seeking defense attorney.

Passionately defended my case

Anita was a great help with my case. I had many questions and concerns when I first contacted her. I was also very scared of the outcome that was looming over my head. She was able to run down different scenarios and make me feel comfortable with the situation with full comprehension of her ideas. Th...roughout the process she had many ideas to win the case and she took caution not to rock any judge's boats to ensure what was best for me. I was especially impressed that when one small thing did not go our way she was more upset about it than I. Any time Anita wanted to try something, she involved me to make sure I was in agreement and comfortable, without a doubt I trusted all of her decisions. I would have never won my case without her and the decision to hire her was 100% the right one.

Very professional

I was very pleased with the way that I was treated from the very beginning by Anita. When I first called to discuss my case I think I spent 45 minutes on the phone with her. I was impressed by her willingness to listen and spend a lot of time before we had even discussed contracts and fees. I was ...charged with a misdemeanor hit and run and was very worried about this affecting my work and future career. The case dragged on for over a year and in the end she was able to earn a dismissal of the case. Even more impressive, on the final day of my case she was involved in an accident herself and was not able to drive her car. She had her husband drive her to the courthouse and performed what I thought was a miracle in getting the case dismissed. Very impressive!

Highly Recommend

Anita is a thorough, attentive, intelligent, determined and professional attorney. My husband and I are extremely satisfied with her representation in my husband’s case (battery charge), where she was able to get the charge dismissed. During the initial phone consultation, she offered advice th...at assured us she cared about our best interests and obtaining the best possible disposition. In the very beginning she was quick and diligent to obtain documents and avoid delay. Throughout the process, she was responsive and patient, answering our questions and explaining complications. In the courtroom (note that we did not go to trial), she was focused and present on our case – she wasn’t one of those lawyers we observed who seemed to be in a rush on to the next one. My husband’s case was also complicated by an immigration issue and Anita was incredibly mindful of her approach given the circumstances. She suggested we also consult with an immigration attorney to avoid potential problems and in hindsight we understand why this was so important. Ultimately we are thankful for Anita’s representation in my husband’s case and we highly recommend her to anyone.

Guaranteed best

Anita is the absolute best, hands down. Don't let her sweet, petite self deceive you. She is so professional, so thorough, so detailed, and and just so amazing. She is such a pleasure to work with. In such a distressing and traumatic event, she helped my spouse in every way possible. She even comfort...ed me when I had moments of great doubt. I felt so comfortable talking to her anytime and never felt stupid for asking any of my millions of questions. My spouse was charged with three things in a domestic violence incident. She got two off and lowered the fine tremendously. She charges upfront and it's not cheap but it was the best investment I ever made. When I was attorney shopping, a different attorney actually told me that it was actually best that attorneys ask for a flat fee upfront. You will not be sorry going with Anita. She is absolutely the best in every way possible. She will not let you down bc she will do every possible thing to help. She's just an amazing human being.
