Excellent Family Law Attorney!

The hardest thing I have dealt with in my life is looking into the eyes of a planned child who has been abandoned by his biological father. The second hardest was having to exercise court intervention, after trying to avoid that route at all cost, because he resisted assuming the bare minimum respons...ibility of paying full child support for our child. Last month, after nearly a year and a half of hard work, stress, emotional trauma and a contentious fight to achieve the goals of security and justice for my son and me, I won a milestone judgment. Was awarded both the fair settlement we fought for, and the peace of mind we deserve. This would have been impossible without the expertise, understanding, kindness, quiet gravitas, diligence, patience, compassion and excellent counsel of Swati Desai, an exceptional family law attorney who was recommended by my company’s general counsel. What I appreciate most about Ms. Desai is that the only area of law she practices is Family Law, so you can feel confident you are getting an expert in the field. She is devoted to producing the highest caliber of legal work, and is guided by an uncompromising commitment to obtain peace of mind and justice for her clients. I recommend no one to help solve such important and personally crucial situations as the one I just faced, frivolously. But in this case, I do so profoundly, as Swati’s work was so extraordinary that I couldn’t think of a better way to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude than to recommend her services to my friends, colleagues and anyone who might at some point find themselves in similarly difficult situation with no clear path to resolution in dealing with a non-cooperative and contentious party.

If you want someone who is compassionate and zealous then you must call Swati Desai.

Ms. Desai restored my faith that there great lawyers out there. I cannot thank her enough for her continued zealous representation. She is sharp and quick on her feet in the courtroom. I had a highly contested divorce and Ms. Desai obtained qualified experts to value the community business and real p...roperties. She obtained a child support and spousal support order retroactive to the date my petition was filed. She also obtained an order that allowed me to relocate to another county with my minor child. I have referred Ms. Desai my brother and and a close friend and they continue to thank me for sending them to her. If you want someone that can see you through the end of your divorce and stand by your side and do everything in their power to get the result you want, then I urge you to call her. Ms. Desai also has a competent staff. My ex even referred her a client after our case was over!!! He went through 2 different attorneys during our case and still was unhappy with his representation. She is an amazing lawyer and a dynamic individual that truley cares about her clients.
