Best Experience I could have had

Miss Dholakia’s office came highly recommended from a family members who worked in the insurance industry. Of course, getting a lawyer can be a stressful situation, Joy and her team always made me feel comfortable and were very professional through the entire ordeal. You can tell that they are very e...xperienced, and knowledgeable in their field, and I would absolutely recommend their team from start to finish. I was very pleased with the ending outcome of my case, and recommend Joy and her team above anyone else.

KCS

Thank you to Ms. Dholakia and her staff for taking my last minute case and helping me win my judgment. She is firm, knowledgeable, efficient, and also so empathetic. I highly recommend her to anyone lost in the disability process.

Great Attorney

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 representatio...n. Joy did all the right things to get me the compensation I deserved.

Maximum Compensation and Thorough Legal Work

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 a...ttorney 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.

Workers compensation lawyer | Mar 25

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!"

Workers compensation lawyer | Dec 09

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."
