About Kapesh
Biography
Prior to opening his own practice in August of 2012, Mr. Patel worked in many different positions, which gave him a broad-range of experiences he still uses with his clients to this day. In the private sector, Mr. Patel worked for companies such as Countrywide Financial Corporation (now a part of Bank of America). Mr. Patel also had experience with non-profit entities such as the National Park Foundation, and governmental experience with his time as a federal regulator working for the United States Department of Treasury’s Office of the Comptroller of Currency.
The bottom line is that when you retain the services of Kapesh V. Patel, you can take comfort in the fact that will all of his experience and love for his clients, will then do everything to make your life easier. Mr. Patel will work hard to apprise himself of your individual needs, or the needs of your organization, and will do whatever is within his power to make sure those needs are met. For Mr. Patel, the motivating factor in his work is the quality of the work, not the quantity of it. He is much more interested in making sure you are satisfied with the results then just “getting the work finished” for him this is a profession not a “volume business”.
If you want an attorney that prides himself on what he accomplishes, if you want an attorney who care about his clients and will be there for you at a moment’s notice, if you want an attorney who will listen to you and provide you with input, rather than just dismissing your concerns, then contact Kapesh V. Patel. He cares about you, and about your needs, and will put those above his own every single time.
