If you ever find yourself in the situation of needing a family/DV law attorney, Asha is second to none. She is a rare combination of kindness and razor sharp smart. Always prepared very methodical in her arguments, and at our last court appearance the judge went out of her way to compliment Asha about her brief. Sitting next to her in court, I was so calm because she was. Without going into the details of my case, she got me out of a dark place and I am forever thankful.

Asha is incredibly smart, insightful, caring and most importantly someone who can grab a very complex and emotionally charged situation and bring great calm and direction. Asha's case studies and ability to bring all available perennate law to bear is second to none!

If you are reading the review here, then may be you are in search of an attorney who could represent you, is professional and the best. So, Stop your search, reach out to Asha ASAP! Why do i recommend her so strongly? My Divorce case started in August 2017, and at that time I was represented by another attorney, but within one month I switched on to another attorney (Not Asha). Why? My previous attorney was totally unprofessional, and would be on time with invoice but no progress in the case. So, I chose another lawyer and that lawyer just made a mess of my case by making delay in submitting document, and moreover the stipulation which we made were a dark web to ensure that my case runs for a long time and the attorney can keep running the invoices. Moving further 1 year into my case with no progress, I reached out to Asha again, and lucky me, she accepted the case. That was the first best step in my case which i took.. I myself give 100% in work and i feel actions are better than words. But the other attorney's were primarily words and gave only 5-10% of effort what i would expect. I am not a lawyer, but as you go with your case, you start seeing the positive / negative of the strategy which your lawyer recommends / adopts. I was getting impatient and my anxiety of what should be done was increasing and taking a toll on me. So, with the hope that may be Asha is the right attorney, i decided to talk to her. Also, I got recommendation of her from one of my colleague where Asha was the opposing counsel. She is awesome, that's why someone recommended the opposing counsel!. Oh man, believe me, Since the day Asha took over my case, I never had to worry about my case at all. I am not exaggerating but her professionalism, timeliness and ethics would make it easy for you to worry less / none about the case. I am fan, and in awe of Asha's professionalism, she is the best attorney one could get. What I got? - All the documentation was thorough, thought through and ON TIME. - She reviewed the existing case documents, sat with me and explained how we are going to tackle the existing issues. (Some of them created by previous attorney's) - She is very transparent and will keep me looped (in bcc) with the emails to opposing counsel. This instils huge trust as you believe / see what is going on vs Oh i spoke and this is what the other counsel said. - Every email I sent, i got a quick and satisfactory response. This reduces the number of emails which you send and keeps your brain content. She might respond, that I will get to you by xxx day, but that will keep you content and she will definitely respond. (No bluffs from her side at all on timelines) - We prepared for trial thoroughly and since that day, my communication to her is very little, because she has already covered everything, now for our hearings there is little or nothing to discuss. Our preparation is well in advance. - Proper billing, Every penny is worth. 100%. - Results: In my case, there were couple of things 1. 50% Child Custody - Before i filed divorce, my wife didn't let me see my daughter at all, for one year she was away and gave me no access to our kid. When she came back to US, i had to fight to get the custody. 2. Date of Separation was contested - We got the DOS which we wanted. This has huge impact in support / alimony calculation. 3. Property - This is on-going, I am fully satisfied with the strategy.. Let's see how the Judge rules it. 4. Bifurcation - My previous lawyer got me into a serious mess, and since I am an immigrant, there were immigration issues because of which Bifurcation became a challenge. Asha's persistent approach has brought bifurcation on the table now, Judge agreed to grant bifurcation. That is a great win! Because my wife, wants to extend the case forever.. 4. Anti-Injunction granted - Lastly - PEACE. Most Important. "THE" Best Attorney! Believe me.

Asha has handled my case very professionally. She is supportive, patient and a good listener with the naive person like me who does not know law. She is very good at handling complex personalities and helps arrive to the middle ground. She suggests good and solid options for the case to move forward. Asha is also methodical and very much organized person. She is always on top of things which helps getting good outcome at the end. I owe my happy and tension free life to her. I will recommend Asha to anyone!!

I hired Asha in late 2017, after going through two other attorneys who got me no results. So, I had other experiences and attorneys to compare her to and after those experiences it was clear that Asha knows exactly what to fight for, and what is irrelevant in the big picture. She is easy to reach and gets back to you promptly. Asha proved herself to be responsible, reliable, trustworthy and highly skilled in family law. I like how she is to the point, concise and precise with her words and I saw that the judge in our case respected that. I admire her professionalism in not being rattled by the obnoxious and nasty emails sent by the opposing counsel. She is an attorney to genuinely help people, she really cares about her clients, and I highly respect her for that. Unlike most money-minting attorneys, she is absolutely fair in her billing. I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends and family that require such services. I provide my highest recommendations to her!

I worked with Asha from 2014 until 2018 to get my divorce sorted out. My personal goal was to make the process as civil as possible and Asha was a great champion of this. She not only did the best to work out a good agreement given what both parties wanted, but she was very firm in pushing for the right thing for me. During the entire process, Asha was professional, swift and very sensible in ensuring I didn't lose my mental peace, or disrupt the relationship with my ex to the point where things get immensely damaged. She's considerate, smart, resourceful and very capable - a rare combination in an attorney who is pushing for hard divorce decisions. In addition, Asha does pro-bono work to help women in the community too - I cannot say enough good things about her! I would recommend Asha in a heartbeat.

Thanks to Asha Padania, I got a quick settlement from my ex. Asha Padania is better at managing the mental health problems that causes divorce and that divorce causes and when people can’t think straight she helps to provide a solution to move forward. When my ex was losing the mind and leaving me I am so thankful for legal input from Asha Padania that saved me from hell of losing my savings and giving high alimony for life. My ex suddenly offered me half the assets and the alimony settlement was unexpectedly sweet and short and in my favour. I was so happy after that.

For my divorce and child support cases I hired Asha twice till now. In 2013 I hired her as my attorney for divorce and in 2017 again I hired her for child custody and support. She did excellent job. She is very smart while dealing with the case. She know exactly what steps she has to take to win the case. She is very knowledgeable about sections in family law. She guided me in right direction when I was in very critical situation. She is best in getting pretty good child support amount. One thing I want to mention about her is she won't cash the client situation instead she helps the client to come out from it. She took initiation in settling the case in between me and my ex even though she loose her payment for the next session in the court. Since 2013, my ex changed 3 attorneys till now to deal with Asha. That much capable she is. The way she charge fees is very accurate. She is very genuine and honest lawyer. She never support false statements. She always follow law and always say we should not loose our credibility in front of court by saying lies. I highly recommend Asha for divorce, child custody and child support cases as i have gone through the above situations. Every penny we pay for Asha is worthy.

Let me tell you that I didn't know a word of divorce when I had to start the paperwork for divorce.I was a crying mess, alone in this country, in an abusive arranged marriage that was wrong in many ways. I didn't know law at all. I hired another lawyer and that turned out to be so bad. After being fed up with that lawyer as she was only adding misery to my pain, I approached Ms.Padania and asked her if she could take over my case. My case was just a simple financial divorce. It was a short marriage, no kids. But I didnt have a penny in my so-called marriage. It was very very mentally, verbally, financially abusive. At that time, I needed someone to guide me through the process and get my fair share of financial compensation so I can restart my life from scratch. I didn't have a job, was still studying, was penniless and homeless when I moved out. Lucky for me, from the time Ms.Asha took over my case, it was like a heavy burden was lifted off of my shoulder. I was still a little skeptical as to whether I was being guided the right way or not as the previous lawyer just ripped me off(when I was literally broke and borrowing money to hire a lawyer). But after a few talks with Ms.Asha, she was nothing but very professional and uptodate with the law and always always did her homework before approaching me or the other party. I believe she is a fairly busy attorney and yet never has she ever given me the side treatment that my case was less important or easy etc. She always has the best words to use. Even when the other party was uncivil or unprepared and lashing out at her and me, she responded so professionally. She is an amazing amazing person and professional. The opposing party was literally dragging the case and unwilling to settle and come to terms with the financial settlement. It dragged on for 3.8 years(longer than my marriage). There were times I was sure I wanted to take the case to court which would've been expensive and not worth it. So, she guided me to settle. I still remember her patiently telling me the pros and cons of going to court, not to mention me having to come out of town as well. She has been an asset in my case. She got the opposing party to respond -after 8 months of silence and no response at all. I had to tell her she needs to harder on the opposing party as they were unprofessional and nasty in their replies and behaviour. Not to mention the opposing party changed attorney from one incompetent to another incompetent and so the case dragged. The sitting judge who was trying to mediate was also pretty frustrated with the lack of knowledge and preparation from the opposing side. At that time, Asha shined and she came so prepared and she was nothing but professional with every answer to every question and more. If I learnt anything, she can be as tough as she needs to be but in a professional way. Thats a rare quality to have in the present world. She has been nothing but the best. Literally what could've been over in less than a year got dragged onto 3+ years by the opposing party's tactics. Yet having Asha representing me made all the difference between having sleepless nights to knowing I'm well represented and my rights are well represented. I even hired a financial advisor and she worked in sync with the her as well. The 3 of us were a good team and it worked well. I even recommended her to some of my other colleagues and although they haven't had to use her services yet, I would highly recommend Ms.Asha to anyone who is looking for a highly educated, well rounded, professional, and amazing orator (and writer in her emails and replies). You will be happy you have her on your side.

Asha helped me get sole custody of my daughter, a very challenging outcome for a single father. She is professional, thorough, very knowledgeable and also kind and supportive. Her fees are very reasonable and I could not be more pleased with the outcome she helped me achieve because my daughter is safe and can live a good life. What is more valuable than that? Forever thank you Asha!

Asha Padania is very personable, approachable and pursue issues with a balanced approach. This is a plus if you are dealing with insensible soon to be ex’es who want to move on and act like adults. But she is also a staunch, steadfast advocate when it comes to dealing with a case like mine. she is a value and time oriented when confronting non-reasonable people. Especially the case like mine, it made hard turn around while dealing with emotional behavior of my soon to be Ex. My Attorney Asha Padania dealt with it meticulously keeping the right pace of human behavior aside thus making case more straightforward. She provided my case of personal touch with understanding especially when my soon to be Ex filed numerous motions and making the case more complicated.

Asha Padania is such a lawyer who I have faith and trust. she handled my case very strongly and responsibly even though when her due for pregnancy labor was just right after 2 weeks of my haring. She also won the case, where as I did not have strong proof to win the case but she did it, also for my divorce I almost lost all my hope to get the dowry from my X, because the agreement was made in Bangladesh but she also won the case. I am so happy to get her. She knows how to decorate papers. I like her writing. On the top of everything she worked with me to make a payment plane for her fees. overall I am so comfortable with her.
