Review Ullasini Dholakia

Great Attorney

Posted by

I was given great service by Eduardo, Lety, and attorney Joy. Unlike other places I actually got to sit with the attorney. They also always answered my calls every time I called. Eduardo the Spanish speaker was always able to answer my questions thoroughly and precisely. I got the right representation. Joy did all the right things to get me the compensation I deserved.

Maximum Compensation and Thorough Legal Work

Posted by

I hope this review helps you in choosing the right workers compensation attorney. I suffered a hernia injury while working for an employer who did not want to be liable. My employer said I was not an employee because I was undocumented and there was no record of me working there. Before seeing this attorney I sought help from another attorney who turned me away. Ms. Dholakia Assured me that I would be able to recover some compensation and that it would be a matter of proving my employment. Like she promised she brought forward the people from my company and took their declaration under oath and proved I was working for them. As my case moved forward I was not allowed to work full duties and required to be given modified work duties due to my condition. My employer again refused to give me work because I was not authorized to work for them or any company due to my legal status and they also did not want to pay me benefits For being off work. Ms. Dholakia again fought for me and proved that regardless of my citizenship status I was entitled to Temporary Disability and protected under California’s Laws. In the end Ms. Dholakia fought hard for me and proved my case to be a good one. I received a nominal amount of compensation, when I thought that I was not going to be given anything. This attorney is someone you can believe in and trust. She kept good communication with me. Her staff all are great. Eduardo is her Spanish speaking assistance and is also very knowledgeable. Between Ms. Dholakia and her staff I was always informed.

Even though there was a video showing activity, the supervising handling attorney Joy believes in me. She successfully settled my case and covered all aspects of both my industrial work injury cases.

I would recommend Joyce Dholakia to anyone who is looking for professional and courteous WC attorney services. She made sure that I receive lifetime care for all injured parts of the body . Her staff was responsive and responsible.

SSI Cessation Case

Posted by

Joy is a fabulous person. I know her for about 25 years. She is tenacious and so humble to her clients. She treats her clients like she is dealing with her own family members. No doubt that she is such a great person that she continues to get success in her life and just not only professionally, but I am sure in her own life as well. Sometime. I give out her names to people who need legal help in the area she works if to see they qualify and meet the criteria of what she is in and ready to fight for them. So, When I contacted the Joy office for fighting the case of my 7-year-old daughter's SSI Case the I have confidence that Joy will take care of it and guess what she went to the court and fought for us and Social security admin judge heard the case and made a decision that benefits will not be stopped and they will be continue. Yeh.... Joy you are amazing; I and my entire family wish you all the best for now and your future.

Everything on my case went well!!!!

-Yo vivo en el área de Los Ángeles y yo vine a esta abogada. Aunque los desplazamientos a su oficina de Los Ángeles a Placentia y la corte de los trabajadores, hizo sus deberes como un abogado y nunca perdió mi tiempo una vez. Ella entendió mi caso y me consiguió la ayuda que necesitaba. Voy a recomendar este abogado a cualquier trabajador lesionado en busca de un excelente abogado.3 -I live in the Los Angeles area and I came to this attorney. Although commuting to her office from LA to Placentia and the workers comp. board was expensive due to gas prices then and today she did her duties as an attorney and did not waste my time once. She understood my case and got me the help i needed. I will recommend this attorney to any injured worker looking for an excellent attorney.

G. Lauren Belger, Workers compensation Attorney on Mar 25, 2020
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have known Joy for a number of years and I admire her level of passion and dedication, not only to her clients, but to injured workers across the state of California. She has been a member of the California Applicants' Attorney's Association for years and the organization is lucky to have her! She fights tirelessly, and zealously for her clients. Rest assured, Joy will not allow an insurance company or defense attorney to take advantage of any of her clients. I can highly endorse Joy!

Edward Rutyna, Workers compensation Attorney on Dec 9, 2018
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Without reservation, I heartily endorse Ullasini (Joy) Dholakia. Few attorneys currently practicing in Orange County have as much experience in representing injured workers as her. First hand, I have seen how tenacious she can be in obtaining the right result for a workers' compensation applicant, even if the process takes several years. Other attorneys would have recommend a settlement years before Ms. Dholakia obtains a substantial award- and she does these types of legal feats often. Also, Ms. Dholakis is highly skilled in taking doctor depositions, an art with major consequences in a workers' compensation case. Many other attorneys avoid taking doctor depositions because of the time and expense involved, but Joy never shies away from the tough legal work that enhances benefits for her clients.
