Sweta Patel is an outstanding attorney! She obtained an excellent result in our case. She was accessible, efficient, and compassionate when working on the case. I highly recommend her!
I’m so grateful for Bruckheim & Patel. From day one, they treated me like a person, not just a case. They explained everything clearly, fought tirelessly on my behalf, and got my case dismissed. Their dedication, professionalism, and care made all the difference — I can’t recommend them enough to anyone in D.C. who needs real legal support -C.M.G
My case was a complex DUI case with issues stemming from other legal issues that would have impacted my life quite a bit if not handled properly. Michael Bruckheim was super responsive and was able to guide me through the process. I was worried throughout the process but his knowledge and confidence in the law eased the stress for me at each stage. He laid out all possible options, gave me his suggestions, and negotiated (fought hard) for a deal with the prosecutor that I was extremely satisfied with. He is well versed in his field and someone you can trust. Thanks again !
My experience with Bruckheim and Patel was nothing short of amazing. From the moment I was referred, I was able to breathe a huge sigh of relief. Sweta was my first point of contact and she was very pleasant and meticulous, leaving no stone unturned. She was informative every step of the way, keeping me updated with my case and my on ease. Michael was also great! His choice to stand and fight for my innocence, instead of accepting a plea agreement, to showed me that he really cared about me as his client and most importantly, how much he believes in his team. Throughout the entire process, I was reassured with a sense of superior professionalism and quality service. I would recommend Bruckheim and Patel to anyone who wants results and peace of mind!!! I am forever thankful
Michael Bruckheim did an excellent job handling my DUI charge; the case resulted in far lesser charges than I would have faced without him. This was my first offense, and Michael was very thorough, knowledgeable, and patient with explaining what to expect in court. He recommended several classes and online programs that assisted in our positive outcome. He and his assistant were very accommodating to my many inquiries via phone, email and text. After talking with several lawyers, I knew this firm was the one and I wasn't disappointed. Highly recommend this team!
