Honest, excellent work ethic, Respectable, assertive

I was severely injured in 2008. My prior workers comp attorney did a very poor job of responding to my communication, or explaining the status of my case. I later found out that not much was done on my case with my prior attorney. I was completely distressed because I was off work, with little to ...no income - paying out of pocket for all of my care, medication, procedures, etc. I was in a L O N G tunnel and I did not see light. Finally I spoke with a law group who Highly recommended Mr. Raj Patel. I now see why. Mr. Patel has moved my case forward in a few months and I see light at the end of the tunnel. Mr. Patel took less than a year and accomplished more than my prior attorney did in several years. Mr. Patel is very objective. I appreciate and respect his Honesty, and Work Ethic. Mr. Patel is assertive without being rude. The office staff is amazing too. They return calls, emails and they are on time. RP Law Group was an answer to prayer. They treated me like a person and not just another case.

Great attorney!

When I first contacted Raj he responded to my inquiry right away. The first thing he told me was to be honest with him so I was; he was very patient with me from day one. He always stayed in touch with me by email or phone even by text msg . He was extremely accessible to me and gave me expert advice... in a timely manner. He is very calm and collected, and knew how to handle my fear and anxiety. He is very knowledgeable with labor laws and EDD guidelines and is not afraid to give you his honest opinion. When it was time for me deposition he told me what to expect so I wouldn’t feel nervous, I was so glad that I had a good attorney because he stood up to the company's attorney and got me paid thanks Raj and to the whole team I highly recommend Raj he's straight to the point and even seen me on a Saturday he's very flexible with your schedule.

Mr. Patel Helped Me

When I first met Mr. Patel I already had an attorney a bad cookie cutter attorney. I went to RP Law Group because of their expertise and professionalism they have in their law office it seemed to me that my other attorney i had before I contact Mr. Patel had too many things on his plate and he couldn...’t handle my case in a timely and professional manner this is why I contacted Mr. Patel and let me tell you it’s been the best decision I’ve made so far regarding my case this man and his legal team made it easier for me and took a lot of stress and pressure off my shoulders. Mr. Petal reassured me that he will get me the Justice I deserve. I let Mr. Petal know what the insurance company was doing to me and how they wouldn’t pay my benefits they owned me. I was owed 5 months of back pay and my medical bills were also not taken care of. When Mr. Patel heard about this let me tell you he took care of it pretty fast well as fast as you can go when it comes down to workers comp he took this issue with extreme Caution as well as being aggressive and he ended up getting me the back pay that the insurance company was withholding. RP Law Group has been a blessing to me and my Family. they’ve been extremely professional and patient with me. They have address all my issues in a timely matter and have answers for me every time I call or go to there office. If they didn’t have an answer for me right there and then they were very good at calling me back with an answer within 24 hours. RP Law Group have been walking with me pretty much hand in hand step by step and guiding me through this long workman’s comp process my only regret is that I should have contacted time right away and not that other cookie cutter law office. Mr. Petal is a very dedicated attorney and the reason I say this is because it’s not often that you will see a law office open till 8 just to help you out or give out there personal phone number so you will be able to contact them in case you had any questions or concerns about what is going on your case. Because of the level of professionalism and the way they have been handing my case this is why if I know anyone that needs help in a legal matter like my own I would gladly refer them to RP Law Group because they do treat you like family not just another case.

The most aggressive lawyer

RP Law Group and Raj Patel took my case when my attorney had dropped my case. I was scared and afraid of what would happen next. I did not know what to do. RP Law Group and Raj Patel took very good care of me. Whenever I needed them or had a question about something that worried me they were al...ways there for me and helped me feel secured. I was just a blue collar worker which nobody seemed to take into consideration, since I was not in management or anything higher. Nobody seemed to listen but RP Law Group and Raj Patel changed that for me. They were very considerate in everything that was going on with my situation. They would always follow up with me constantly to make sure I was well informed with what was going on which helped me feel calm and secured. They know what they are doing. RP Law Group and Raj Patel are not in this for the business they actually care about their clients. RP Law Group and Raj Patel got me the best possible money and the best treatment that I deserved.
