My name is Mr.Rinkovsky and I highly recommend Defense Lawyer Kapesh Patel. He helped me have faith that one day I’d be able to see my son again. I had made some bad decisions but he had came to help me with my troubles. He was there for me every step of the way throughout the entire process while being in jail.
He has longstanding experience and is very knowledgeable at his job and was always there for me as his client 100% of the time, day in and day out.
Without his representation and having him in my life as my Defense Lawyer, I don’t think I ever would’ve been reunited with my son. Truly he has been the best gift from God. I thank him and his team for all their hard work and what they have done for me and my family.
Sincerely,
Mr.Rinkovsky
A Real Client
Hello, My name is Andrew Vela. About a year ago I was in a major legal situation which put me in a tough place in life. I needed a lot of help to resolve all of these legal issues as best as I can but couldn't do it alone. And that is exactly what happened when I was introduced to my wonderful attorney Kapesh Patel. Through my tough battle, Mr. Patel had not given up on me and has always fought for the minimum consequences put on me. I have been trying to move forward and improve myself in life which Mr. Patel has been very supportive of. As times were hard, Mr. Patel took action by fighting well and hard for me. I couldn't have gone through this struggling situation without him. My case was two DUI's back to back. Mr. Patel had the most confidence to battle against it all and never gave up on me. I truly recommend Mr. Patel to anybody in need of legal assistance. I entirely appreciate Mr. Patel's service and can honestly call him a friend of mine. In conclusion, My attorney couldn't have had more success in ending my case resulting in wet and reckless's. Thank You Kapesh Patel.
My oldest brother passed away suddenly and left no will. His next of kin is his two eldest daughters, he had a close relationship with his first daughter but lost contact with his second one. We tried everything to get ahold of her, not only to tell her of her dad’s passing but also that we needed her authorization to cremate him. The mortuary would not cremate him until we talked to her, and until we got contact with her, his body just sat at the morgue.
After two weeks, the employee in charge at the mortuary asked us to file an Ex Parte with probate court. We went to the courts but were given a hard time because the court didn’t understand what we were asking for and why we needed this filed. After so many questions and conversations, the court agreed to file the document. However, they told our family it would cost over $400 AND there was still no guarantee that the judge would sign it.
Finally after 3 weeks of going back and forth with the courts and the mortuary, we contacted the Law Offices of Kapesh Patel in hopes that he could help us. And I wish we could of contacted him a lot sooner (like 3 weeks sooner!).
We explained to Mr.Patel our situation and he got straight to work. Within a couple of days Mr. Patel called our family and asked if we could contact the mortuary & ask if they would accept a notarized letter. The mortuary agreed, my niece got the letter notarized, and my brother was finally cremated.
If it wasn’t for Mr. Patel stepping in and researching the laws on cremation and next of kin, we most likely would still be in a battle with the courts.
My whole family appreciates all the assistance Mr. Patel provided to us in this most difficult time of our lives and we cannot recommend his services enough.
Prized client and focusing on getting the best outcome possible for my son and I.
When I first met Kapesh, I was lost, I was sad, and I had a heavy burden realizing what I had just done. As someone who had been arrested for some serious felonies and not making the right choices in October 2013, I realized that going with a Public Defender would not serve my best interests. On the other hand, I wasn’t sure that any attorney would care and put the effort into my case; I was also scared about the fees.
But when I met Kapesh Patel, not only was he interested in my case, he was understanding and made me feel at ease. He saw me as a person, not a criminal or anything else. Not only saw my situation and put himself in my shoes, but he also gave me real hope. He always kept it real, good or bad. He told me exactly what I was up against, my chances, and the outcomes. My case was tough, and in addition to serious time in prison, I was also facing deportation too. However, he still told me no matter what, I am willing to fight for you. He told me you will be “my project” and I am going to do whatever I can to fight for you.
And to me, I loved the fact that Kapesh was sincere, honest, and understanding.
To be blunt, I was facing 7 years behind bars, Kapesh got me 364 days and prevented me from getting an “Aggravated Felony”, which in immigration is fatal, no hope, deportation for life. I couldn’t believe he pulled it off!
Now, I was facing immigration court, and I am in detention for immigration. Knowing my chances were very slim, KP being sincere and honest, still told me I will keep fighting for you and I will not leave your side. I had the serious crimes following me, but in a bond hearing, he was able to convince the judge to release me, it was not easy.
And 5 years after my conviction in criminal court and 3.5 years after my immigration case started, God gave hope and good blessings today at immigration court. My ordeal has pretty much ended, and He (God) has given me Kapesh - a lawyer who has stood by my side through the good and bad.
I can’t say this about everybody, but Kapesh Patel is someone I would recommend to anyone that is going to face criminal or immigration problems, cause let me tell you, KP will give it best and fight harder than you can imagine. Hire him.

To give backstory, my legal battle began in August 2018. I was referred to Mr. Patel through Bryan Wong, another outstanding attorney, who felt Mr. Patel would be able to attend to my case appropriately. Upon meeting Mr. Patel, I was struck by his candor and confidence that we could get the desired outcome for my case: dismissal. Mr. Patel attended court with me 8 times in a 14-month period, working each time to talk with the District Attorney to handle my case appropriately. I had a license on the line that would be revoked if I were to be convicted, which would have effectively ended my career. Mr. Patel did not give up until a viable option that would save my career was presented before us.
Eventually, through Mr. Patel’s hard work and dedication, the District Attorney agreed to let me enter the DEJ program (Deferred Entry of Judgment), which required me to take a course, stay out of legal trouble for a period of time, and give up some of my constitutional rights temporarily. Upon successful completion of these requirements, I would have no charges against me, I could keep my license and not report anything to the licensing board, and my case would be dismissed. I am happy to say that as of today, my case is dismissed and I am free and clear!
I am eternally grateful to Mr. Patel for his guidance, patience, and commitment to get me out of this legal hole with no adverse effects to my career. He heard my concerns and saw my pain and embarrassment from day one, and worked hard on my case for over a year to get the desired results.
I recommend Kapesh Patel to anyone who is seeking effective counsel for their legal concerns. He will hear you and work with you to get you the best outcome possible for your case. Thank you again, Mr. Patel!
When our interview date was scheduled Mr. Patel would only prep us over the phone and it was very difficult to get hold of him. But when pressured he would respond. This is not what we expected but we expected a scheduled in-person mock interview with him. During the phone prep for interview he said he would not be appearing with us in our interview.
On the day of our interview the interviewing officer basically said that because we have a lawyer that submitted our paper work that they needed to be present or we cannot do the interview. The officer then gave us the option to sign a waiver removing the lawyer and then we could do the interview.
During the interview the interviewing officer pointed our several errors on the application and as we are looking at it we realized that is our application which we filled out and not one revised by the lawyer. This caused a month in delay for the approval decision.
We understand that delays would normally happen and revisions to applications can be made. But we feel like the application could have been filled out more professionally and screened better as the interview officer did.
I would have been for Mr. Patel to have attended the interview so that he could catch his mistakes and do better for future clients. But when we pointed this out to him he just ignored it and said this was normal.
We would have probably given him 3 stars but we felt he is undeserving because of the errors in application that could have easily been avoided and his attitude towards us after we pointed out some of the things that were mentioned above for him to be better. We expected better for a paid service!
Before I hired him I was extremely stressed out but Mr. Patel handled my case with professionalism and competence.
He gave me a piece of mind while I went through the court process, he gave me his direct phone line and would respond to to my calls and texts with in minutes. I was extremely impressed with his work ethic and the guidance I received. He lowered my felony to a misdemeanor and gave me a felony free future.
I would recommend Kapesh Patel to anyone that wants a lawyer that is helpful reliable and competent. Or is looking for a lawyer that is capable of downgrading a felony to a misdemeanor.
He gave me his direct phone line and I never had to go through his receptionist, I went straight to the source.
Thank you Kp for all the hard work you put into my case and for making me feel safe in one of the scariest situations of my life thus far! You're the best!
I would absolutely recommend him to be on your team, if you need help in your child custody case. Kapesh is an experienced attorney with his clients needs and wants in focus.
If you want the best possible outcome, I would hire him every time.
Thanks. AC
I was very fortunate to have come across a lawyer who exceeds my expectations in many ways.
I appreciate his high level of professionalism and analytical ability to problem solve and take quick decisions when in need. He also has a stunning ability to strategically plan the next steps based on the current situation which is in your favor.
Kapesh has excellent communication abilities which allow him to simplify the complicated legal terms in words which are more understanding to you. He will take the time to ensure you have a full understanding and are in agreement of the next steps before taking any action. He delivers his communication which is persuasive and impactful to his audience. This is a key factor in my decision to continue his services on my case.
Unlike my previous experience with lawyers, Kapesh is prompt to take action on my requests and provide responses in timely manner. He is very understanding to any concerns raised and is also very customer focused.
He has in-depth knowledge in the law he practices and his years of experience are seen immediately in the first conversation. If you are seeking a lawyer with a passion for your case and will do what it takes to deliver positive results, I highly recommend for you to reach out to Kapesh.
One of his greatest qualities, aside from his impaccable work ethics and his integrity to his work, is his willingness to teach. Working through an immigration process can be very daunting and really confusing; But KP made is easier by making me part of the process and never leaving me in the dark. He was always willing to answer my questions or would reach out to his collegues to get the answer for me.
In the 2 and half years that I have worked with Kp, there wasn't a moment where I was worried about my process. I trusted him fully to do what was right for my case and he has never disappointed.
Kapesh Patel is a very honest, transparent, dedicated and reliable Lawyer. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Sincerely,
Happy Client
Letter of review and recommendation on services provided
To whomsoever it may concern,
It is an absolute pleasure to write a letter of review on services provided by Mr. Kapesh Patel whom I reached out to after getting a 3rd DUI with a violation of probation on the 2nd one within a 10 year period.
I have known Mr. Patel (KP) for a couple of years now and can confidentially say that his clients are his number one priority and he’ll take every step necessary to protect them. Quite simply put - He is that “Go to” lawyer if you are willing to cooperate and take the corrective steps necessary. When I approached KP with my DUI / Violation of probation case I was at a low point fearing a long tenure in jail. I was done with drinking and was hoping I could get away considerably lightly in terms of punishment this one last time.
I met with KP and he told me that if I was serious on quitting drinking I should start voluntarily attending AA & make my own attendance sheet. He took time to walk me through the position I had put myself in and was willing to go to battle for me. To me the most important thing was to keep my job. As a lawyer he wasn’t in a position to promise me anything but did ensure me that he would do everything possible to make that happen. This made me feel a little better about the situation and showed that I wasn’t just a statistic or a number to KP.
I lived up to my end of the deal by attending meetings, associating myself with AA and getting personal and professional reference letters. After close to an year of working my case, going to court multiple times on my behalf, getting the DA changed when progress was not being made, he got me a job saving deal where I had to take only 3 weeks off of work to do a relatively very small stint in jail followed by a few months of SCRAM alcohol monitoring ankle bracelet.
To top it all off, this being something very unique that I experienced having dealt with lawyers in the past, a week after post sentencing he made a follow up call to check in and make sure I was on top of things and whether he could be of any help or guidance. Mr. Patel is an excellent lawyer, very knowledgeable of how things work and very importantly treats his clients like he is going to battle for a member of his own family. I recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in a tough position and willing to work with an attorney to come to a reasonable solution that won’t be too taxing on themselves.
KP was super responsive throughout the whole process and would get generally back to me within 24 hours. From our first meeting with KP we felt right at ease - he was easy to talk to and clearly knowledgeable on the subject.
KP gave us a list of everything we needed to compile and we got to it. We had a fairly complicated application due to multiple financial sponsors, which KP managed with ease. He went over every document meticulously and asked us to re-scan documents that were “not-professional” enough for his high standards.
The application was submitted and I had my greencard in hand 127 days later. This is incredibly fast by any measure.
His fees are very reasonable and I would happily recommend his services (certainly for immigration matters).
also helped me with an old citation issue which turned into a warrant. This was a scary situation for me
and I have never been in trouble with the law before. KP guided me through this and helped in every way he could.
He was in constant communication with me and always kept me informed. Anytime I had questions
they were answered. I am very lucky to have gotten in touch with him and
I now have a lifelong lawyer in case I need one. I would highly recommend him for any assistance you need.
Before this I never needed a lawyer, but when I did I was thankful that I was able to find him. When you get paperwork you
cannot understand due to the court talk and legal paperwork, it is a sigh of relief when you know someone is there for you to guide
you through these difficult matters, and that is Kapesh Petal…….
I really recommend attorney KP for anyone who needs a lawyer for immigration or criminal defense or family law cases. He's good at what he does and I really didn't need to write him a review. My review of him is me referring him to anyone who needs a lawyer no matter what area of the law they need it. He's honest, intelligent, and will get you the results you need. Don't look any further than him if you need a lawyer!
He got the judge at a hearing to side with us resulting in a very good outcome. Also, afterwards, he was able to skillfully negotiate with both me and my wife and in short period of time after that, our divorce pretty much ended. I am extremely pleased with my outcome and had no clue I would get what he got me. He's given me the chance to get my life back on track and move on from this very emotional period of my life. Without a doubt, if you need an attorney, and I know Kapesh does divorces as well as immigration and criminal law, I strongly suggest you hire him for your case. He will fight harder than anyone out there and get you the best results anyone can without taking you to the bank. I've already referred him to 2 people who ended up hiring him. Just go and hire him and see what I mean.
