I just want to start by saying that the court process really stresses me out!! I did not want to deal with the court. I found state 48 law firm and had a consultation with Ankita. She was super helpful, very nice and calmed my nerves down! I did end up hiring her. Let me tell you!! She definitely made this whole court process less stressful for me. It was nice to have someone on your side and very reassuring! I was very bad at returning emails and phone calls and she was still so patient with me and I appreciate her so much!!! I would recommend her to anyone I know! (:
We worked with State 48 and Ankita on a name change and some other family law issues, and we could not have had a better experience. Ankita and the entire staff at State 48 were professional and courteous in all encounters; prompt in their replies; helpful with their responses and incredibly effective at their jobs. If we ever have a family law need again, we will definitely be back!
Ankita is a lead attorney at State 48 Law Firm who graduated from Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law with the Highest Distinction for her pro bono work.
Prior to attending law school, Ankita served for a year in the AmeriCorps and taught kindergarten to underprivileged children in one of the most impoverished parts of Washington D.C. While in law school, Ankita worked as a certified limited practice student at the Maricopa County Public Defender’s Office and as a law clerk at the United States Senate. Ankita gained invaluable experience in family law, working as a judicial intern for the Honorable Katherine Cooper while Judge Cooper was on her family law rotation at the Arizona Superior Court. Ankita’s work with troubled families and familiarity with the law enables her to keep your children’s best interests in mind while advocating for you throughout your matter.
Known for her strong argument and drafting abilities, Ankita works at both the trial and appellate court level, with a win in the appellate court as recently as August 2021.

Happily Divorced
I would highly recommend Ankita and State 48 law firm to anyone who is going through a divorce. I was always treated with the upmost respect from every individual in the office.
My only regret is not hiring her sooner, she has the knowledge and professionalism that I was looking for in an attorney.
After my final trial I reflected back and realized just how much of a badass she was! She is extremely thorough and not intimidated in a court setting. I'm happy with the outcome and I got what I wanted, to be divorced!

Divorce
As I was headed into what I knew was going to be the most exhausting difficult divorce, State 48 made the situation less dreadful with their professionalism, knowledge, and kindness. From my consultation to the finalization of my divorce, Ankita Gupta was consistent, efficient, and committed to my case. Ankita always had an answer to my questions/concerns and she never left me feeling doubtful about herself or the firm.
State 48 is beyond supportive, and understanding. If you are looking for a dedicated attorney/team, I would highly recommend State 48 Law Firm, more specifically Ankita to get the job done.

Detailed considerate representation
David and Ankita made my VERY bad situation in to an experience I can’t thank them enough for with the help and support they gave me. They were so detailed and helpful and above all else....so understanding and considerate! They were always quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had with details and added info they thought I might need. They went above and beyond to set me up for the best outcome for me and my kids. Not only did they go beyond for us but they even contacted me continuously to check up on me and my situation even after I moved out of state and they were no longer representing me. The professionalism, consideration, and time they put into helping me was beyond measure and I truly thank them for the outcome of my divorce even though they did not represent me at the end. The knowledge they gave me is absolutely what attributed to what became the best solution for me and my kids. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for the best people to represent them. David and Ankita truly are the best!!!!!

Opposing counsel
Ms. Gupta and I opposed each other in a highly contentious Trial. I was impressed by her poise and quick thinking during presentation of her case. She presented her case in a clear linear fashion despite a challenging fact pattern and, in doing so, provided a compelling argument on behalf of her client.

Highly Recommend Ankita!
I was in dire need of an attorney and don't know anything about law. I went through some difficult times trying to find one, but eventually came about to Ankita @ Best Law Firm. I was so put at peace speaking with her (& Philomena) during my free consultation. They were professional, but very personable (not "stiff") and friendly. Ankita took her time (which I wasn't paying for at that moment) to talk things out with me so I could completely understand the entire proceedings, start to finish (truncated, of course). I felt very relaxed (during an EXTREMELY stressful time in my life, hence I needed a lawyer!) and satisfied that I was at the right place and finally hopeful for a better future. Ankita was with me for a while, explaining everything every step of the way; phone calls, texts, video conferences, emails, she made sure things went as well as possible for the best outcome. I can't say enough about how happy I am now (I actually got everything I could need for the health and safety of my children) and looking forward to a better future, all thanks to Ankita, Philomena, & Best Law Firm. So yes, I highly recommend!

Amazing
I am so grateful that I had Ankita on my legal team! She is one of the most professional people I have had the pleasure to work with and her work ethic and drive helped so much in my case. We have worked together over a year now and she has always shown the utmost efficiency and professionalism while paying very close attention to details. I highly recommend Ankita and am so thankful that I had her in my corner.
