Attorney Arpita Legha, a cofounding partner of Oxner Legha, PLLC, exclusively focuses and manages the Family Law section of the firm.
Arpita was born in New Delhi, India and moved to Houston, Texas in 2002. While her peers were graduating high school, Arpita received a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance at the age of just 19. Thereafter, Arpita received her Law Degree from Thurgood Marshall School of Law where she graduated Magna Cum Laude, followed by a Masters in Law (LL.M.) in Tax Law at the University of Florida Levin School of Law.
Arpita started her career as an international tax planning attorney at PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, one of the top 4 accounting firms in the world.

Arpita’s family law practice specifically deals with complex property divisions, high net worth divorces, child custody battles, negotiations, and mediations. Her background in business and tax provides Arpita a unique perspective into her clients’ emotional and financial needs. While being compassionate for her clients, Arpita has the ability to arm her clients with the knowledge they need to make sound decisions regarding their case and foreseeable future.
Arpita, her husband, Jagroop, along with their two dogs, Romeo and Storm, are proud residents of Houston, Texas. In her free time, Arpita loves to play the drums.
