A Lawyer with brains and personality.... a MUST HIRE... best lawyer I have ever delt with... OUTSTANDING

I have a had my fair share of experience with lawyers from my business endeavors, traffic violations and family issues but I have never worked with a lawyer quite like Payal. In my previous experiences with a lawyer they are more worried about when they are going to get paid versus taking your perso...nal interest at heart, with Payal that is not the case. From the beginning Payal showed me that she actually cared about me and my problems and not my wallet. I have used her numerous times and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone who is tired of getting the run around by other lawyers. When you call her you actually speak to her and not a battery of secretaries and paralegals. One time I had a case outside of her expertise and instead of saying no, she took the time out of her busy schedule to refer me to someone who could help.. WHAT SERVICE!! I have recommended her to many of my co-workers and family members.. you won't find another lawyer like her.. she is the perfect balance between professionalism, intelligence, and empathy/caring. Trust me CALL HER and you wont be sorry.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
