To the office of Mr. Patel

I was referred to from a personal friend to the office of Mr. Patel. I contacted Mr Patel for advice on my divorce case and how my wife at the time was attempting to take 80 percent custody of our child. Mr Patel gave me legal advice and I felt confident he would assist me in the best possible way. I... hired Mr Patel and he walked me through the process from start to finish, no matter what time I would email or call him he would reach out with a reasonable time. I appreciate everything Mr Patel did for me. Zinnia who also works with him was very helpful always friendly, professional and would have the answers to all my questions. I would highly recommend Mr Patel and am genuinely happy with the end result. Thank you both so much for all your help and for the professionalism that you carry yourselves with.

Adjusting status/I-485, Petition for permanent residency/spouse of permanent resident

We hired Mr. Patel to apply for green card with the USCIS, after getting married in India. My wife traveled from India on a visitor's visa, and then decided that she didn't want to go back and apply for the green card. This would lead to waiting for couple years and then she would be able to enter th...e united states. We didn't want to stay apart for that long. Once we consulted with Mr. Patel, he let us know that there was a way to adjust her status without her having to leave the country. It would take the same amount of time but we wouldn't have to stay apart for long periods of time. Once we made the decision it was a smooth journey all along. Mr. Patel guided us through every step with the personal attention that usually one won't find. We really appreciate the professionalism and care with which this law firm has handled our case. The pandemic did delay our applications but these were just unforeseen circumstances and were able to see this thing through.

Best Divorce Attorney

I cannot say enough good things about Kapesh Patel and his team. I was so stressed and paying way too much money (with a different law firm) before I was referred to Mr. Patel through a good friend. Kapesh is honest, professional, knowledgeable, affordable and truly cares about his clients. KP made m...y divorce smooth and painless. I paid exactly what he had quoted me when we met (not a dollar more). He saved me lots of money by preventing long term litigation. Following his advice, I gained control over my divorce. I am happy with the outcome. If you hire The Law Offices Of Kapesh V Patel to handle your divorce, you will be in good hands. Best Wishes!

Dismissed case

KP helped me recently with another legal matter and the case was dismissed. He worked really hard and it took longer than we expected. The results were more than we could have hoped for. I have referred him to several of my friends and family and the results speak for themselves. If you are in tr...ouble and need help understanding law and order Kapesh is the attorney.

Immigration

We had a great experience with Kapesh. He worked diligently to help us with our case, always answering our emails in a timely fashion, and explaining the whole process we would need to go through.He was very respectful and knowledgeable, answering even the most far out questions with confidence. He g...ives honest feedback and tells it to you as it is without being harsh or abrupt. Additionally, he follows through. If he tells you he can get it done, the it's as good as done. I could tell he has a big passion for people and takes his job seriously. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an immigration attorney.
