Loan mediation

I hired Shikha Parike two years ago as my attorney. It was a complicated case as I was a recent widow and wanted to keep my property. Everyone in her group demonstrated positive human relations and were easy to work with. The group under herleadership worked diligently to attain my goal. After m...itigation and several foreclosure attempts by the bank her team successfully completed a mediation agreement. The property is now mine and I would strongly recommend her. She is extremely competent and an expert in her field.

The best short sale lawyer who gets the job done

Shikha was great from the start and very experienced. The short sale of our Maryland house was in limbo and the bank kept giving us a hard time for over 2 years. Shikha reassured us regularly and gave us updates. Our previous short sale law firm in Maryland was slow and terribly inefficient. A couple... of other short sale law firms that we contacted before Paradigm Law gave us zero chances of success. When Shikha took over, she was very proactive and it was obvious that she's skilled with short sales and understands the process thoroughly to help homeowners with their situation. Within a few months, we closed the short sale of our house! We are thankful to Shikha for her role in completing the short sale and highly recommend her services to anyone who is undergoing a short sale.

Won my house back!!!

My story started out with four rounds of a short sale process, which left me drained and frustrated. I turned to Shikha and her team to assist me with my home. Initially, I contacted Shikha to pursue a case against the mortgage due to the negligence. I explained that I was recently divorced from a 15...-year marriage and filed bankruptcy during the process. I also shared that I desired to remain in my home with my 14-year-old daughter (the house she grew up in). Shortly after speaking with Shikha, she provided me with options that I never knew I had. She gave me hope that I could keep my home. Her team quickly contacted the mortgage company to start the modification process. After providing the bank with everything required, a roadblock happen! The mortgage company SOLD my loan in the MIDDLE of our modification review. Shikha quickly shifted the team’s energy to the new mortgage company and I was able to modify my home, which REDUCED my mortgage by hundreds of dollars! I am so grateful for her knowledge and services. Shikha is pleasant and swift! She does EXACTLY what she says she can do…and she gets it done!

Amazing lawyer!

Shikha is the best there is. She is extremely knowledgeable and knows the process. During a very stressful short sale, she was very reassuring and understanding while always able to answer any question with poise. I would highly recommend her and her team to anyone!

Superb and Knowledgeable Representation

We hired Shikha twice for matters relating to foreclosure and we couldn't have been more pleased. During particularly stressful times, she was able to bring us peace of mind with her competence and supreme negotiating tactics. Don't waste time with those who advertise quick and easy solutions to fo...reclosure. Shikha will take the time to sit with you, understand your circumstances and objectives, and do her very best to help you, as she did us. If you're reading this Shikha, thank you again.

Foreclosure lawyer | Jul 17

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"As a family lawyer, I have referred several divorcing clients to Shikha, who helped structure a ‘short sale’ of their homes for less than the mortgage balance, and thereby avoided their liability for the mortgage deficiency. Shikha conveys a cheerful confidence that puts clients at ease as she manages the arcane foreclosure process."
