6 stars

When I was looking for an attorney, I asked a friend who recently went through a divorce if he had a lawyer that he would recommend. He answered that nobody going through a divorce would be happy about their lawyer. My experience was the very opposite. While my divorce was highly contested, Arpita br...ought empathy, hard work, and professionalism to an unexpected level. Her true desire for fairness and client success, as well as the creative solutions she brought, made me think that she is one of the best professionals I have ever met. I would suggest Arpita to people who are looking to solve the challenges brought by a divorce in a fair and less combative way. She was able to learn personalities through the case and advise properly. Although opposing counsel did not always play fair, Arpita would always behave professionally and put my interests and the ones of my kids before any potential gain for her firm or any personal goals. Nobody wins in a divorce, but having the best possible counsel is a way to navigate such a difficult time. I couldn't find a better attorney for my divorce, and I would give her 6 stars if it were possible.

Beyond exceptional

They genuinely care about their clients and made me feel like my case was always a priority. When looking for a law firm, I tried to find one who could help with my complex case. I went down a list that came up on google and no law firm was willing to touch my case, until I came across Oxner Legha L...aw Firm. They went above and beyond what I could have ever expected and I walked away more than satisfied with how my case turned out. I have gone back to them for all my needs and will continue to do so. I could never imagine going to anyone else.

Arpita Legha, compassionate family law attorney

If you or anyone you know is going through one of the toughest things to deal with in life such as a divorce and/or seeking legal custody of children, I highly recommend Arpita Legha and her team. She is an intelligent, articulate attorney that possesses great empathy towards a most difficult situat...ion. I was very sad to find myself in the situation where I felt divorce was the best option but knew that I needed help to navigate this and am so fortunate I had Arpita by my side through this journey. From the moment I walked in for a consultation, it was very clear that Arpita was first and foremost, a compassionate, honest and caring human being who was invested in helping me through the process over all else. She was the first attorney I met with and I hired her that day, didn’t need to interview any others. I was confident she was the best person to guide me through this divorce and she proved me 100% correct. She was ALWAYS extremely communicative, straight forward and accessible. No matter how much time passed between our communications, she was continually dedicated to knowing all the details of my case. Her fees were affordable, and she happily worked with me to formulate a payment plan that I was comfortable with. She was consistent in meeting any deadlines discussed and honest in any challenges she foresaw. When I was led by emotion, she understood behaviors we encountered that I still did not and made sure that she was successful in looking out for the best interest of myself and my children. For this I am extremely grateful. Arpita was a fierce advocate for me and I couldn’t have gotten through the process without her. Even though my divorce was final a year and a half ago, she still calls and checks in with me periodically to see how the kids and I are doing … this is the biggest thing that sets her apart from other family law attorneys, SHE SINCERELY CARES.

I highly recommend Arpita Baweja.

Because of Arpita, I have my children. I had an extremely difficult case and because of Arpita’s skills as a lawyer, I was able to get my children back. Arpita is an excellent lawyer, that not only understands the law, she has the ability to apply the law to win your case. Beyond her great skills a...s a lawyer, Arpita is also an intelligent individual, who thinks well on her feet, both in and out of the courtroom, to get you the results you want. Arpita has a keen understanding of the family court system and uses that knowledge to take the necessary steps to assist you to obtain what you want in your case. On a more personal note, Arpita is a nice person. Throughout a case, Arpita will provide supportive words to ensure her client’s well-being, an important factor during a challenging time in one’s life. Finally, she will work tirelessly to make certain you get results in your case. Arpita is truly an excellent attorney. I highly recommend her
