MR. Patel is your Guy!

Mr. Patel was awesome to work with! His proffesionalism, communcation and just about everything you want in a great lawyer were all above par and exceeded my expectations. I will reccomend to anyone in a situation needing his expertise.

Great Attorney!

I worked with Mr Patel on three occasions thus far and have came out successful. He keeps you up to date with what’s current in your case so you always know what’s going on. A very smooth journey working with Mr Patel and I highly reccommend him as an attorney.

Great service!

Bhavik is a great lawyer to have he got all of my charges dropped for me and I had some pretty serious charges (4 felonies and on misdemeanor). He stay in contact with me through the whole thing and kept me updated on exactly what was going on. I am very appreciative of all of his hard work! I would ...definitely recommend this lawyer to anyone in need.

Represented myself for a DUI

Mr. Patel was very helpful at explaining what was going to happened from the beginning he was hired. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs a DUI and DWI defender.

A hero. My hero!

I contacted a seperate lawfirm, and seeing as I am in Tampa I was refured to Mr.Patels office. He reached out immediately. It was a simple case but it could effect my family in a big way. We haven't got very much right now and after long deliberation my husband and I realized we wouldn't be able to ...afford a lawyers assistance. Mr.Patel took it uppon himslef, after we stated we wouldn't beable to affords the help, to take care of my issue. Hope is a hard feeling to find in the world right now. Mr.Patel has giving me hope. He has shown that it isn't about money for him, but about helping. If I had the money I would give it to him in an instant. This man has shown what it really means to be a lawyer and have true humanity. Thank you from the top to bottom of my heart. May he be blessed by the best.
