If only all lawyers were like Anita...

I cannot express what a gem Anita is. I hired her last minute (the day before I was to appear in court!). I was fearful that no one would be able to help me so late in the game, but she took on my case and did so much work in one day. My court appearance resulted in better than hoped for results beca...use of who Anita is. Her diligent work ethic and warm and kind personality was rewarded because of her strong working relationship she had with the prosecutor. She followed up with a detailed summary of the court appearance within 2 hours of leaving court! She doesn't just do excellent work, she is truly a kind soul. She made me feel taken care of beyond the scope of the case. That is hard to find in busy attorneys who are just out to make the quick buck and eager to close cases and send you on your way. If you need ANY legal representation, Anita is your woman. If only all attorneys were like Anita.

Great Knowledgeable Lawyer.Happy to recommend Anita

My court date was on 4/19/2017 and i am very happy with the outcome so writing this review and my experience with Anita Patel.I would highly recommend Anita Patel for her legal knowledge and experience,she is also a nice person and very understanding. Anita Patel was very professional and knowledge...able.Being a first time offender, i was extremely scared ,worried and stressed out. I was going though a very tough time having Family health issues and also this misdemeanor charge. I am also the only working person in my family.Anita put me at ease and got better results than i had hoped for.Before i decided to go with Anita i had searched online and spoke with around 8 different lawyers before i spoke with Anita. Based on what other lawyers told me i was looking for jail tern for at least 2 days, community service ,vehical being taken away.But i did not get any of this.I was very happy with the outcome . I called Anita the first time on a sunday and Anita answered the call.I explained the whole situation to her.After the first phone conversation i knew that i had to go with Anita .She took time to meet me in person the following day . Anita answered all my questions,kept me informed ,kept me calm,reminded me 2 days before the actual court date to be there before 8:30 am.On the court date Anita was already there at the court house waiting for me at 8:20 am . Thank You and God Bless.

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.
