About Us

After seeing the criminal defense trial process as a Cook County, Illinois prosecutor, Purav Bhatt knew he wanted to continue in the courtroom, but representing those wrongfully accused. In 2010, he left the prosecutor’s office and opened The Law Office of Purav Bhatt, defending people in criminal allegations throughout Chicago and the greater Chicago area. From there, he expanded to representing those accused throughout all of Illinois, in both State and Federal court.

In 2014, Purav Bhatt and Anthony Villalobos met, as there was an overlap between Purav Bhatt’s criminal defense clients and the civil litigation arena that Anthony Villalobos focused in. From there, Purav Bhatt and Anthony Villalobos became close colleagues because they shared the same relentless advocacy for clients, which they both thought many other attorneys lacked. After Anthony Villalobos left the U.S. Army’s JAG Corps in 2024, Purav Bhatt and Anthony Villalobos formed a partnership to represent clients in both criminal defense and civil litigation matters, combining both their background skillsets to bring the best, aggressive courtroom representation to all of their clients, from criminal defense clients in Chicago to breach of contract clients in federal litigation.

Today, The Law Office of Purav Bhatt is proud to say it has created the perfect blend of criminal defense and civil litigation to bring true advocacy to the courtroom because at the end of the day, that is where you need experienced lawyers.
