Mrs. Grewal "The one" you want on your childs side

As a single mother with a beautiful and intelligent daughter who has special needs I've been fighting and advocating for her rights ever since I can remember. It wasn't until a few years into elementary school that I knew I was going to need someone with a Bigger and Stronger voice than mine. We are ...truly grateful that we found Mrs. Grewal she has made such an impact in our lives and in my daughters education tremendously. Punam has helped and stood by my daughter not once but twice when schools have tried to take advantage of my daughter and her disabilities. Mrs. Grewal made sure to get back what the schools have taken from my Daughter and much more. She has given my daughter a greater chance to be successful and she will.

Scamm

I went to Punam Patel Grewal seeking help for my family case. The first 15 minutes were awesome because it was free and she tells you what you want to hear. She is like waiteress and I need to do my part which I did. I was excited I could get good representation. I gave her my retainer money. My hear...ing got postponed to a later date and never heard from them again. She told the court it was a internal error. Once the hearing was close they started calling me. Using up all my funds. The paralegal was the most rude careless person. They kept all my money. What did they do absolutely nothing. Then they asked me for 10k more. For her to represent me. No thank you. I am so upset just a waisted my money time. On what? Nothing. I hate them more than what I hate the system which failed me.

Mrs. Grewal is the answer to all parents who have special need children!!!

My son's transition to junior high school was a disaster!!! My husband and I spent two years fighting the school district without representation. We made every attempt to work with CNUSD. We spoke with several attorneys and decided that Mrs. Grewal would best represent our interest. She immediat...ely filed a formal complaint with the Office of Administrative Hearings. She fought the district vigorously!!! Not only did Mrs. Grewal meet our expectations, SHE EXCEEDED THEM! Our son is now in a private school. His needs are being addressed. Unlike the school districts, Mrs. Grewal clearly understands the law and how it is applied. She leaves nothing on the table. She cares about kids and the future of our country. Mrs. Grewal was always polite, courteous, and available to us during the two years we worked with her. We are great-full for all her assistance and everything she did to get justice for our son. If you want someone who will get the job done, we recommend you give Mrs. Grewal the opportunity to discuss your situation. Feeling Blessed!

TENANTS FROM HELL

I am extremely grateful that my close acquaintance recommended Attorney Grewal to me in my time of despair. I rented out 2 rooms at my residence to a couple and their teenage daughter. While I was away, the male would get highly upset and irate and damage my property (interior doors, kitchen fixtures..., screen door, windows, etc.. etc....) When I would arrive home, something was broken and required repair/ replacing "because all things break" If that wasn't enough issues I needed, I found out that i am terminal with an array of unforeseeable limitations. The tenant (male) obviously was drinking and what ever else and indicated that he was about to break the windows out of one of my automobiles parked in my residence. I asked him why, he replied that he also did not have the rent and was planning to stay there rent free. When I heard the glass breaking I hung up and called 911. The deputy never responded when I arrived at my residence. There I was confronted with my tennant holding a hammer and telling me he was going to kill me and restricting me access to my home. I called the 2nd time to the dispatcher to only have the responding deputy arrive with a solution of serve the tenants with a "restraining order to include an eviction notice" The deputy than left. I went to the station and contacted the watch commander who had a different officer take my report and arrest the tenant . The following day, the tenant's wife falsely accused me of returning to my residence and destroying my own property. The Initial responding deputy called me and asked to meet him at the station for closure with his report. Having done nothing wrong, I met with the deputy and the conversation quickly went from "do you remember" to "the tenant states you went to further damage more items at the residence" In disbelief I replied It's my house, I live there, I have a legitimate reason to return everyday and no I didn't damage anything that the tenant has already damaged. The deputy informed me that he didn't believe me and arrested me for destruction of private property and breaking and entering!!!!!!!!!!!!! In a nutshell. upon retaining Attorney Grewal, she not only had the tenants "restraining order" against me immediately dismissed, to include had the two felony charges dismissed as well. In total I was out close to $18,000.00 from rent, bail, utilities, representation, but I was back into my residence the following day after making bail. It's since been almost 2 years and there isn't a day that goes by I am thankful for another day dealing with my health, my family issues and life one day at a time. In the past I retained other attorneys for different issues and NONE compared to Attorney Grewal's aggressiveness in handling my case. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ATTORNEY GREWAL. Thank you a million times and more Attorney Grewal, God Bless you.

Job Well Done!

So glad Punam took my daughters case, I was trusting school officials because I knew them personally. When Punam read the IEP she found several violations in my daughters IEP. Upon finding the violations she acted on them immediately. We were in a meeting with the school officials immediately correct...ing the violations. I was on the verge of spending $7500.00 for a independent evaluation and because fiercely opposing the school district the ended up paying for the evaluation. Mg daughter has now gone on to college and furthering her studies while working hard everyday. I can't thank Punam enough for the dedicate and thorough work she did in my daughters case. Thanks again Punam.
