The Best Family Law Lawyer!

I cannot say enough good things about Swati Desai! She is a great lawyer. I was refered to her and I now recommend her to everyone I know. She successfully handled my very difficult child custody dispute. She is incredibly knowledgable, a great strategist and is really quick on her feet in the co...urt room. She was able to gage which way the judge was moving or leaning and was able to change her argument and strategy on the spot. I was truly in awe. I think my ex's lawyer was as well.... She was also very supportive, empathetic and kind. She was truthful with me about my options and the likely outcomes, unlike some less scrupulous lawyers. If you need a family law lawyer, hire Swati.

The lawyer who changed my life

After I was frauded by my husband, verbally abused, physically in a state of Danger with my 1 year old son; Swati Desai fought my case as if it were her own. Not enough words are in the dictionary to describe this woman. After meeting with tons of lawyers, the best decision of my life was to go wit...h Swati Desai. I am now in the best protection and have all of my rights for me and my son, and I have my sanity back Thank you Swati I don't know where I would be if it wasn't for you and your hard work

Worth every penny

Our experience with Swati Desai was amazing. Over the course of about a year, she walked us through the most painful experience of our lives (almost loosing our children) with empathy and with professionalism. I can honestly say that every time I think of Swati I don't remember the court room, in whi...ch I was completely stressed and she was phenomenal, or the money, which, after a year, you can imagine was significant (and completely worth every penny), instead I remember how much she cared, and how happy she was when our family was kept together.

Brilliant Attorney!

Swati helped me with my divorce and child custody issues! She was very professional and proactive with the entire process. I highly recommend her as a family law attorney.

Child Custody

Swati and her assistant attorney Nisha were amazing in my case. They answered all of my questions in a very quick fashion. They were reasonable in price. Unfortunately my case was complex and required many court appearances. I had to let them go, but only because of finances. If I had more money I wo...uld have loved to keep them.
