Outstanding and beyond service

I have been working with Mr. Kapesh for more that 20 months in a unique immigration case (EB1). I fully respect his work; the relationship with me and my company has always been available and open. Even though we had some "external" block, his preparation and support with his associates made me feel ...supported and listened. I fully recommend Mr. Kapesh!!

Child custody

Kapesh Patel has changed my life and made it better. After this week's Court hearing, I left with everything I wanted and that was due to Mr. Patel's diligence and passion for what he does and his clients. I would absolutely recommend him to be on your team, if you need help in your child custody ...case. Kapesh is an experienced attorney with his clients needs and wants in focus. If you want the best possible outcome, I would hire him every time. Thanks. AC

Feedback for Kapesh Patel

I am a former client of Kapesh Patel and would like to pass along my feedback. I was very fortunate to have come across a lawyer who exceeds my expectations in many ways. I appreciate his high level of professionalism and analytical ability to problem solve and take quick decisions when in need. ...He also has a stunning ability to strategically plan the next steps based on the current situation which is in your favor. Kapesh has excellent communication abilities which allow him to simplify the complicated legal terms in words which are more understanding to you. He will take the time to ensure you have a full understanding and are in agreement of the next steps before taking any action. He delivers his communication which is persuasive and impactful to his audience. This is a key factor in my decision to continue his services on my case. Unlike my previous experience with lawyers, Kapesh is prompt to take action on my requests and provide responses in timely manner. He is very understanding to any concerns raised and is also very customer focused. He has in-depth knowledge in the law he practices and his years of experience are seen immediately in the first conversation. If you are seeking a lawyer with a passion for your case and will do what it takes to deliver positive results, I highly recommend for you to reach out to Kapesh.

Your best interests are his interests

I've known Kapesh for well over decade now meeting in the MBA program at Cal State Fullerton. After college, he guided me through some tough times in which he kept my head strong and steady and gave me sound advice. He is upfront and will let you know what you will be facing regardless of what you ...want to hear. Although my case never went to court, he assisted me in filing the correct paperwork to handle my issues. I did the work myself but his guidance really helped me out of a jam. I'm proud to call him my friend. He is just like you and me and wants the public to be aware of their rights and feel like they are not alone. If you need assistance please give him a call and get to know him. Good man with a good heart. Sometimes he lets his heart get in the way of business but he really wants to help those who are in a bind. I know he works diligently on all of his cases and is constantly educating himself with the law. If you ever have a chance to work with him, you will be better for it.

"I have had the opportunity to work with Kapesh Patel on many occasions. I find him to be professional, courteous, and knowledgeable in his multiple practice areas. Kapesh is easy to talk to, and understands the needs of the everyday person. He will do his very best to help his clients, and every person I have ever sent him has been satisfied with the outcome. I have seen him put great time and effort into both the matters at hand, and into his relationships with his clients. I would not hesitate to work with him again or send him clients for any reason, and to me, that is the highest compliment I can pay any attorney."
