A Lawyer Who Gets Winning Results and Understands Emotions

We all know there are many components involved in a divorce. Specifically, finances, emotions, and communication are atop the list. Pam was certainly an expert in ALL of the above areas! My divorce was a bit complicated and certainly full of emotion and in every step of the process, Pam always took t...he time to explain why I should, can't, or must make a particular move. Sometimes I let certain actions get to me and at no matter what time of day/night, Pam made sure I understood the legal process and calmed my emotions...and that's truly important in an attorney. Most of all, Pam was an amazing "team leader" and kept me going even through an unexpected 3-day trial. Bottom line, I won my case because of Pam Ahluwalia!

Choose the BEST

Going through a divorce and child custody battle has been hard, but having a great lawyer like Mrs. Aluwalia has made the journey endurable. She checked all of the boxes that I looked for in retaining a lawyer and I don't regret for one moment such an important decision. Communication: Pam explained... each step so that I could always make an informed decision but more importantly she listened to me. Having someone in my corner with a vast knowledge of the law who can communicate that in court was priceless!! Client Care: She has always gone above and beyond with her tenacity, availability, and perseverance through every twist and turn. Choosing a lawyer is one of the most serious decisions to be made so do what I did and choose the best!

Highly Recommend

Paramjit (Pam) is the most committed, responsible, thorough, responsive, knowledgeable and professional lawyer. Pam gives you a very direct advice and realistic view of your case. No sugar coating. She was by my side for the last past year. I went through a high conflict divorce (including custody).... So many times I felt lost and she cared about me, my child and our circumstances. There were times when I needed her advice during late evening hours or weekends or holidays and she was always prompt to respond. Going through a custody battle (of a minor child) could be very emotional and difficult to see the situation clear at times, I am so thankful of her being so supportive and understanding by my side every step of the way. I was absolutely impressed and happy with her work during the preparation for the trail and her work during the hearings and the trial. The result of my case was way more than I was hoping for and I say a huge thank you to Pam. I definitely recommend her.

Great Experience

Pam was completely engaged from our first consultation meeting until the very end, offering great legal advice and developing a strategy to handle my divorce in a way that would result in a separation agreement that would align with my greatest interests. Pam was always extremely responsive to all my... phone calls and emails and was always willing to explain anything I did not understand. She is an expert in family law and can lead you through the processes of child custody and the division of assets confident that you will end up with a fair settlement. I strongly recommend Pam as a family law lawyer. She helped me through a very difficult time and got results very quickly.

Highly recommended!

A friend recommended Pam when my husband of many years unexpectedly asked for a divorce. She was by my side from our first consultation until the day my divorce was finalized. She was extremely knowledgeable, efficient and supportive. She presented my legal options in a straightforward manner and ant...icipated challenges that we might encounter. When she developed the settlement agreement, she was incredibly thorough, including many items that had not occurred to me. She listened carefully to my concerns throughout all the proceedings, but did not try to act as a therapist, remaining focused on how she could help me as my attorney. She used time efficiently so that I wasn’t charged more than was necessary, but was always available promptly when I needed her. The whole process was completed in four months. Largely due to her actions and guidance, I received a favorable settlement with a minimum of acrimony, and am in a good position to move forward. I can’t recommend Pam highly enough. Her skillful, efficient, and considerate approach made the entire divorce process much less stressful and more successful than it might have been. Without her as my lawyer, I would not have my current financial security and I am thankful for her every day.

"Pam and I recently resolved an extremely complicated custody and divorce matter. She was a delight to work with - she is thoughtful, detail-oriented, collaborative and professional, all while being a formidable opponent and advocate for her client. I hope to have the chance to work with her again in the future!"
