Swati Sumit Desai

Swati charged me SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS to read my emails and print/file the attachments even AFTER I FIRED HER. And worse, she never gave any indication that she had absolutely no intention of using the extensive documentation I've accumulated about my ex-wife's undisclosed assets and income. In...stead, Swati effectively colluded with my ex by bullying me into a stipulated "settlement agreement" with an unwarranted "equalization payment" from debt-ridden me (I just want an equal share of my son's life) to my allegedly "poor" ex-wife (whose corporations hide her profitable real estate empire).

I was introduced to Swati Desai through a mutual colleague and we immediately connected. Swati Desai is a professional and caring attorney. I retained Swati for my complex divorce case that involve major custody concerns as well as the usual financial disputes. Her knowledge and experience in family ...law demonstrated by her certification as a Family Law Specialist by the California Board of Legal Specialization and by her ability to concisely address the court with my concerns is remarkable. In the court room I felt very confident sitting next to Swati. She came well prepared and I appreciated that before my court appearance, we met to discuss our strategy and my concerns. We had a plan. Outside the courtroom Swati and her team are accessible and available to answer questions and to advise. Swati is an expert at what she does and her compassion is real. Without any hesitation I fully recommend Swati Desai.

Having never written a review before, I feel compelled to share my experience with Swati Desai because I am beyond grateful for her. She is absolutely brilliant in the courtroom. She overwhelmed the other side with her preparedness and quick thinking. There was no question that she trumped the other ...attorney in intelligence, legal knowledge and ability to gauge the situation. She worked hard on my case and when she spoke, I felt I was truly represented - all of my concerns, fears, and desperate need to keep my family together was conveyed eloquently and effectively. I have been through many lawyers during my custody/divorce case. I've had attorneys who promised me everything up front and when it was time to perform they told me I had no case. When I hired Swati to handle my convoluted custody hearing I could sense she was different. She wasn't phased by the minutia yet she kept track of everything. She knew how to navigate and be in control of the situation. She is genuine and compassionate and she helped me stay calm while she strategized. Nothing is guaranteed but at least give it your best by having the best on your side.
