I am writing this only from a standpoint of helping people assess this attorney, rather than coming from point of any anger. The trial proceedings were recorded (due to zoom).
I will state the facts and let the reader assess this attorney by themselves. The Paralegal is very detail oriented however I felt the attorney is not, though I had confidence till trial, by her positive talks. I had no DV allegations and had a good report from GAL. Simply, my ex-spouse wanted to take away my daughter from me. In prep for the documentation, I had more guidance from the paralegal than the attorney.
During Mediation, the attorney steered me away from exploring an mutually agreeable solution with the other party by giving me confidence of having a strong case and don't need to bend.
On the day of trial, which was virtual during covid times, she forgot to bring in the strong witnesses I had prepared. I had to reach out to remind her, but it was too late. Later the witnesses were not allowed. During the trial, the attorney failed to ask tough questions to my ex-spouse even though I was sending her messages to ask the relevant questions. Finally after the trial, the attorney said that the Judge did not seem to like her, giving as a reason for the lop sided result. She was not even able to explain why & how the finance were distributed.
End Result: My ex-spouse was awarded more than 65% of my hard earned wealth and I ended up with just 15% of child custody. After the trial, I hardly got much help or directions from this attorney. I was literally left alone with an abysmal trial result. And later, the mother has simply managed to move the child away from me. A dismayed father from an abysmal framework of so called law and attorneys.

We has been working with Sunitha for over a year now in a very complicated third-party custody case. Sunitha maintains her professional demeanor while approaching her cases with compassion, care, and going the extra mile when needed. I truly believe that her heart is in every case - it definitely has been in ours.
If you are looking for an attorney who is profoundly knowledgeable, thinks outside the box, and truly cares about the outcome then Sunitha would be an asset on your side. She's an excellent advocate and fights hard for her clients - I would highly recommend her.

I live in California and Ms. Anjilvel helped both me and members of my family with our wills. I found her to be not only professional and knowledgeable but highly intelligent and extremely patient no matter how many questions she was asked. If we have any other legal issues in the future I will not hesitate to contact her.

I first met Sunitha about 3 years ago when I was in need of a family attorney for an extremely difficult separation. Before meeting Sunitha I had met and spoken to numerous attorneys about my case and not one of them made me feel comfortable or gave me the feeling that I could trust them to help me through this difficult time in my life. Sunitha is extremely experienced and will always tell you how things will go or could go and will never promise anything she can’t deliver on unlike other attorney’s I have met. Sunitha is very responsive and always kept me informed about my case every step of the way. I probably wasn’t the easiest clients to deal with but Sunitha stood by me and still does to this day. I would highly recommend Sunitha.

Sunitha failed to answer my questions AT ALL, many times.
Sometimes she didn't return my calls, at others she took a very long time.
My case dragged from a few months to over a year, because she repeatedly asked to postpone (against my will). I suspect she was concerned about going to trial.
Finally, she misrepresented the alternative solution. She said it was no big deal, it turned out to be costly and cumbersome.

I have worked with Sunitha to review the terms of the children visitation and support after relocating from another state. She was really upfront about all the pros and cons of changing the registration of the divorce decree from another state, as well as possible costs involved.
And talking about costs, I have never felt rushed as she always took in consideration the time it took to get acquainted with me as a client and as a human being. I have never felt I was just another case number or that I had to rush because the clock was ticking.
She is honest and relatable. I have worked with other lawyers before. Both for my business and for the divorce, and she was the only one with whom I felt I was a person, not just a client. My other lawyers would pushed me around with assistants and paralegals. With Sunitha, you will talk to her and no one else.
I can say quite honestly I highly recommend her, which I had the opportunity to do. My friend has hired Sunitha for her divorce and she is also extremely happy with Sunitha's service and support.
I wish all lawyers were like her.

I was referred to Sunitha by friends and couldn’t be more pleased. She is very responsive and knowledgeable. She understood the law as it applied to my situation and handled it assertively and effectively. I feel fortunate to have found such a great lawyer and recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for legal help.
