BEST LAWYER IN TOWN!!!!!!!! Jay Patel is a straight shooter and an incredible attorney. If you need a stand up guy, he’s your man.

With all the work Jay, and his wonderful secretary Sarah have done for me I honestly don’t even know how to fit it all into 1 review so I’ll try and summarize it the best I can. Few years back I found myself in a very uncomfortable situation, potentially looking at my first felony conviction, if you’re reading this review then you already know everything that comes with that. That being said, I wanted the very best lawyer to represent me. Jay came very highly recommended, but I didn’t know what to expect, so I was still extremely nervous. I’ve unfortunately been able to experience several lawyers/lawfirms so I can confidently tell you that there is no other place that offers a service like this, that has a staff like this, Or that can get you the results that they can time after time. All I will say about the price is that I would have paid 2-3x for what they did for me. Signed a few papers, they went to court for me, Sarah called with payment arrangements/amounts and the conditions of my plea, I was able to pay and make necessary arrangements and 90 days later it was as if it never happened. Couldn’t be more thankful to have them in my corner and couldn’t recommend anyone better to handle whatever hardship you might be going to through. Can honestly say that I feel like apart of the family up here.

I could not have asked for a better outcome than I received. Mr Patel not only got my recent case dismissed but also a previous driving without license. Also due to my financial situation allowed me to pay 1\2 and gave a few months to pay in full . He stayed in contact the whole time and I never even had to go to court. Trust me this is the guy you want .. !! Thanks again Mr Patel and team!

I highly recommend Mr. Patel. He does an excellent job. I couldn’t be more grateful for how everything turned out.

I was very fortunate to have Jay Patel and his team represent me in some legal matters.

They were extremely thorough in the case and due to that we were able to have a very successful turn out. I would highly recommend Jay Patel to anyone who is looking for a dedicated individual serving with integrity, excellence and accountability.

I just want to say that Mr Patel did a fabulous job. I have had other attorneys in the past and Mrs Patel definitely met if not exceeded many of my desires. He was able to defend my case bring out the truth and I was Vindicated. Again thank you Mr Patel. You did a great service to me and my daughter.

Mr. Patel and I were prosecutors together in the pandhandle years ago. He is an exceptional defense attorney. While I am in North Florida, I have referred several people and past clients to him that needed help and he has always done a amazing job. I would highly recommend him to any of my clients, friends, or loved ones.

Mr. Patel is absolutely the best lawyer and overall person anyone in my situation could’ve asked for. He and Sarah worked hard and was extremely diligent in helping me and my wife get through this crazy ordeal. They were extremely professional, never left us in the dark, and constantly kept us updated. Again thank you Mr. Patel and Sarah for all you did for me and my family. If you ever need any help my recommendation would be Mr. Patel.

While you never want to find yourself in a situation to need him, if you do, you can rest assured you’re in good hands with Jay Patel. Three people in my family have hired him, myself included, and all received favorable outcomes in which we were satisfied with. It’s stressful enough dealing with issues involving needing his services but he and his paralegal keep you updated every step of the way and will answer any questions you may have, any time, and in a very timely manner at that- unlike some other lawyers who may sometimes be difficult to get or stay in touch with, leaving you in the dark about your future which is obviously very unsettling. Jay and his team help alleviate this stress and give each client the attention they deserve. I would recommend Mr. Patel to anyone who found themselves needing his services and feel confident in doing so.

-Alex S..

Jay and Sarah are an incredible team. They work diligently and quickly to get any necessary processes rolling. They’re speedy to communicate and readily available. They operate with professionalism and kindness knowing that their clients are often in a situation they are unfamiliar with and would rather not be in. Jay and Sarah helped us get our case resolved as painlessly as possible. I would 10/10 recommend Jay Patel Law to anyone in the Fort Walton Beach area! Thank you Jay and Sarah!

Jay Patel is everything you want in an attorney. He and his team are responsive, timely, compassionate, but most importantly competent. Jay understands how to navigate the complexities of the court system and is extensively familiar with the various personalities and nuances to best represent you in the county. If you are in need of an attorney to represent you, Mr. Patel and and his office will take care of you.

If you find yourself in trouble with the law, then Jay Patel and Sarah Schultz is who you want to represent you. Jay’s extensive knowledge and experience with the law, legal system, and court system resulted in a dismissal of my case. Jay and Sarah commit themselves to excellence in providing the best possible defense. I am ecstatic with the the outcome of my case, and would highly recommend Jay Patel to anyone who is looking for a dedicated attorney.

I truly cannot give Jay and Sarah enough praise and gratitude in this review! They took over my case from another attorney and treated me like they had me from the beginning. The QUICK, responsive communication from them both and keeping me well informed and making sure I understood each step in the process, made me feel I really had someone on my side, not just pushing me through the system. Their level of fight for their client is unmatched! If I could give them more than five stars, I certainly would! If you need an attorney, you NEED Jay!

As one can imagine, the need to hire a criminal defense attorney is extremely stressful. Knowing that you are hiring the right attorney to represent you in this circumstance is a life altering decision- you are putting your future in the hands of a stranger and trusting that they will defend your future as if it was their own. Who should you trust when taking that risk?

I was referred to Jay Patel through a close friend who assured me that I would be in good hands. It was the first time in my life that I was in a position to seek legal counsel, criminal defense especially. I was unfamiliar with the legal system, the process, the potential outcomes and how they would affect my life and future moving forward. To say I was overwhelmed is an understatement. It felt like a nightmare. I put full faith into the recommendation to contact Jay Patel’s office, and looking back it was best decision I ever made.

From my initial call to their office, the level of professionalism and care that was put into my case far exceeded my expectations. Jay’s knowledge and experience in the criminal justice system was evident from day one. He executed my defense just as he said he would, earning my full trust and utmost respect. His reputation for being one of the best in his field was what lead me to his firm, and as his client I can confirm it’s true. Jay knows what is at stake and his defense delivered.

His Paralegal, Sarah- I am absolutely blown away. Her attentiveness and level of detail in every aspect of the process was outstanding. With all the questions and concerns I had, she made me feel at ease. She was prompt, knowledgeable, professional and a testament of what it takes to make the client experience and process seamless for their firm! She is a real MVP and I wanted to make note of how important her role plays in the overall success of the cases they defend.

Lesson Learned:
The difference between a good attorney and the attorney you want to hire in your defense lies in the firm itself- teamwork makes the dream work. From my initial call in that moment of panic, through the process before and beyond the courtroom, Sarah met the standard of what Jay’s reputation would execute. Hiring the right person to represent the level of excellence your defense will deliver to their clients throughout their experience is absolutely crucial for living up to your reputation- Jay nailed it with Sarah!

Jay Patel – Attorney at Law is who you want by your side in criminal defense, hands down.
When your future depends on it, rest assured that Jay Patel (and Sarah!) will deliver.
