Thank you Shyama!

Shyama is very knowledgeable, compassionate and dedicated. She is regarded with mutual respect by all. Syama has helped me on many divorce different issues, and always been fair, diligent and wise. She seeks their best interests, not high billings. I trust Shyama implicitly with any of my legal issue...s. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants personal attention from a skilled attorney in a famly law case.

Highly Recommended!!!

Shyama S. Parikh was an excellent attorney!!! Shyama would be my first choice of attorneys if I ever needed one again in the future. I would also be very happy to recommend her to other people. Shyama was very detailed oriented when handling my case. I loved how detailed Shyama was in filling out... the Affirmative Matter section in my legal documents. She was very thorough in handling my whole case. The people that I brought to court, as witnesses, were extremely impressed, as well, with Shyama. They kept going on and on about what an excellent attorney I had today. She was able to expunge the false Emergency Order of Protection that was against me by my ex-boyfriend. Shyama also stopped him from getting the petition for Order of Protection from going through. My ex-boyfriend was just doing this out of revenge any way and not basing anything on facts. My ex-boyfriend was just upset that I found about his evil past, with 2 attempted murders. He was trying to make me look like the bad person because he was afraid he was going to go back to prison again because of my knowledge of these facts. Shyama helped me with showing the judge my side of the story and what really happened that day. I found favor with the judge thanks to Shyama being there as my attorney. I highly recommend Shyama to anyone that needs a Family Law attorney. Shyama puts in her website that, "My approach towards resolving legal issues is quick and cost efficient." This statement is very true. She handled my case very quickly, where it didn't drag on and on. Her fees were very cost efficient too. It was worth every penny that I spent having Shyama as my attorney. Shyama restored my faith in the legal system! Thanks Shyama for all your hard work in handling my case!
