What Our Clients Say
Emilio M.
Attorney Hitesh Chugani (and company), made my case feel like a soft breeze. They completely handled the workload in a very professional manner and granted me a very favorable outcome. Hitesh Chugani has now become my attorney of choice, and I will be recommending him to friends and family from here on out.

Outstanding! Not only he's efficient but also made sure to hire the right people for his team. They finished my case in a prompt manner. I would strongly recommend Attorney Chugani to anyone involved in a car accident. Thank you HKC Law Firm!

Mr Chugani is a very professional, trustworthy, caring and humble person. He is excellent at his job. Miss Mendoza, who was assigned to take my case, is a very nice, kind, professional and knowledgeable person. Not only did she find me a good physical therapist but she always followed up and help me through this process. I received the best medical treatment after my accident.
Miss Mendoza, Thank you for all your help. I highly recommend Mr. Chugani Law Firm.
Marlen M.
From the moment I walked in and met Attorney Chugani and his staff I knew I was at the right place. He is very knowledgeable of the laws both civil and criminal and he is very humble and kind. I felt confident he was representing me and I was kept up to speed with any updates as they came along. I always felt my case was priority!!! Paralegal Susan is amazing (attentive and professional!). Definitely recommending!!
Manny Leal
This is an OUTSTANDING individual. He'll move mountains for you. Very professional, humble, kind and determined. He's gone out of his way, even on his own vacation, just to help me with big favors, that other lawyers probably wouldn't do.
There will never be any hesitation or doubt when it comes to a game plan with Mr.Hitesh, he is an overachiever. Overall the best lawyer in the RGV.
