Knowledgable and compassionate

Fakiha's knowledge, courtroom abilities and pre-trial preparation helped me get kids custody as well as a just and equitable division. She was instrumental in being able to communicate to the court my side of the story with facts and witnesses where required. There are no winners in family court but ...she did a great job in representing and fighting my case. Anyone going through a difficult time can always connect with Fakiha and get consultation and make a decision on their own to retain her services. I can highly recommend her based on my experience.

Excellent Attorney!

I retained Ms. Fakiha Khans legal services earlier this year. My sister was going through a very difficult divorce with her ex who was extremely conniving and abusive during the marriage. We had changed several attorneys , and the case had still not been finalized in 3 years! I lived in another state..., my parents lived over seas, and my poor sister was left all alone to deal with this bad situation. Being a single mom with two little ones, she was thousands of dollars into attorney fees, not to mention the aggravation of dealing with the court system. Overwhelmed and disappointed, she did not know where to turn to when our last attorney started asking for more money. A lady at the salon my sister went to recommended Fakiha Khan. The lady had gone through a similar experience with a controlling ex. We spoke to Fakiha on the phone, and immediately retained her services. It was the best decision we made!! Let me start by saying , Fakiha Khan is an amazing human being! She's has been there to guide us and advise in every step of the way. She has made herself available to listen to us and help us every time we've. needed her. This is a quality we have have been unable to find in any other attorney we have dealt with in the past. During our court trial, Fakiha was a shark! She was so well prepared, articulate, to the point, made sure she addressed all the issues important to us, and with minimal words and perfect examples was able to portray my sisters ex as he was. She also put up with no bullshit from the opposing attorney. And of course we won the case! Trust me when I tell you, she is fantastic! I expect for my sisters ex to create problems for her in the future, but I also know who I will be calling up when that time comes. Fakiha, thank you for all you have done for us! My sister and our family are very grateful to you. Whoever is reading this review, i guarantee you will be not be disappointed. I know this is a very long review, but I can't put into words how blessed and grateful we feel to have found someone as smart, kind and compassionate as Fakiha.

Excellent lawyer

Ms Khan, has been my attorney for the past 2 years and every time, I’m so grateful that I found her to deal with my difficult and frustrating divorce!! Ms Khan is intelligent, knowledgeable and extremely efficient. She grasps the situation at hand quick and delivers. She has also represented me at co...urt and did an amazing job in winning my case. She dealt with tact and being a bull dog of an attorney, which I required her to be at the same! Time again & again, she has impressed with her outstanding compassion and kindness! She is an asset to her firm and I’m so happy I have her to represent me!!

Excellent experience, confident, dedicated and friendly

I was blessed to be acquainted with Ms. Khan and referred to her via a counseling session at Cordell & Cordell regarding my divorce case. I am fully satisfied with her level of knowledge, professionalism, involvement, and passion for helping me out, all at a reasonable price. I highly recommend her... for all family-related matters!
