About Tejal
Tejal Mehta has built a varied legal career that moves between government service and private practice. She began her higher education at Rice University, graduating in 1984 with a B.A. in history and English. She earned her J.D. from the University of Houston in 1988 and later returned to study estate planning and taxation, receiving a certificate from Temple University's Beasley School of Law in 2005.
Her early career put her inside federal agencies. In 1991 she served as a trial lawyer for the United States Department of Agriculture. That work led to a 1996 position as a senior lawyer at the Federal Communications Commission. Her government tenure continued in 2004 when she worked as counsel to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, where she handled matters that required familiarity with appellate procedure and court administration.
Mehta entered private practice in the mid-2000s. She founded the Law Office of Tejal Mehta and has been principal there since 2007. The firm operates in Pennsylvania, where she is licensed to practice. Her legal training includes estate planning and taxation after completing the certificate program at Temple in 2005.
Professional memberships reflect a range of interests. Mehta has been a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association since 2010 and joined the Montgomery County Bar Association in 2011. Records indicate she has been a lawyer in good standing since 1992.
Colleagues describe her as thorough and attentive to procedural detail. Her government roles required litigating complex regulatory and administrative matters, and those experiences inform how she approaches cases in private practice. She is comfortable working in settings where statutes, agency rules and court rules intersect.
Clients who come to her firm encounter a lawyer who has navigated both trial and administrative forums. She combines courtroom and agency experience with additional study in estate planning and taxation. Mehta maintains active membership in local and national bar organizations and stays engaged in professional circles that relate to immigration and county-level practice.
She is based in Pennsylvania and continues to practice from the Law Office of Tejal Mehta, handling matters that include estate planning, taxation and immigration-related issues.
