Excellent Lawyer

A genuine, capable and incredibly rare legal professional!

In any profession, you find some who are good at what they do and some who are genuinely wonderful human beings. It's rare to find individuals who are both. Rarer still to find them in the legal profession. This is what makes Brinda so unique. Even though she would struggle to admit it, Brinda continues to invest a part of her true self in the people she works with and derives a genuine sense of soul warming joy when she is able to help others. I've known her since before she practiced law, and she's always been that way. It's just so great to see her succeeding at something she's clearly so good at!

Excellent Lawyer

Brinda was very helpful throughout my case, she is very professional and transparent with each and every step while dealing with your case. When you are going through a legal process you need a lawyer to trust on completely. I loved how she considered all small details with my case, provided me correct guidance and also helped me to move on confidently. I'm glad I found her through a friend and would definitely recommend her.

I highly recommend Brinda to anyone who wants to WIN!

I highly recommend Envision Family Law to assist and advocate on your behalf. I had the pleasure of working with Brinda and Charmaine. From the beginning they walked with me and really help me to understand the system and gave me a strategy that was practical and effective. Even at dark moments of my case, where I felt the other side was blatantly manipulating facts and lying. Brinda and Charmaine kept me calm, as they swiftly and tenaciously successfully counter with facts and truth. They are very professional and accessible to their clients. For me, the most important thing was they were knowledgable and very prepared to fight and go the extra mile to help me get a desired outcome. My hope and Prayer is I would never have to experience a dissolution or family battle again, but if so, I would hands down trust this law firm and Charmaine and Brinda because I know they will successfully and professionally get me to the finish line with victory!

A Compassionate Advocate

I immediately knew I would benefit from hiring Brinda simply based off our initial conversation. Brinda listened to me voice my concerns and showed sincere compassion as I found the strength to share my current struggles with my son’s father. Choosing her to represent me was the best decision I have made. Each time she has represented me in court, I have felt that she has had my best interest at heart. Heart and compassion go hand in hand when I think of Brinda and her team. Their level of communication from the very beginning has been phenomenal. They have exceeded my expectations. Knowing I have these women in my corner, guiding me every step of the way, has provided some comfort. I don’t feel I’m fighting this fight alone. I highly recommend Brinda! She has been my blessing!

Excellent Family Law Firm!

When it seems like your life is upside-down because your spouse is doing things to you that are either with Law Enforcement or the Courts and, those things are detrimental to you and your family or kids and your ability to see them and be around them, it can seem like you have no one on your side. As a father, it can really feel like you have no help in these matters. But, when I called Envision and spoke to Brinda, she put everything in order. Her and the excellent team at Envision Family Law made me feel at ease and took a lot of the unknown, and the anxiety associated with that unknown away.

Child Custody/Visitation Case

I wanted to thank my Lawyer Ms. Brinda so so much. Me and my family are very pleased and thankful for the outcome of my case on how far we've made it. Ms. Brinda does an outstanding job and genuinely cares for her clients. My case has been one of the hardest moments in my life which involves child custody/visitation regarding my recent 8 month old daughter, and Ms. Brinda has done her job getting me my daughter back. Step by step, we're receiving our results. I wouldn't have chose no other lawyer and for that I appreciate Ms. Brinda and her amazing work. She's honest and straight forward and that's what we like to see and hear.

Thank you Brinda !

I am very grateful to have had Brinda Gandhi to be my attorney for my divorce case, particularly during a trying time like Covid. I felt reassured, strengthened & greatly supported to have her represent my case, especially given all the challenging negotiations, twists & turns. And as the case progressed, I had a feeling of being in the best hands. Particularly as a woman to know, that our attorney always has our back, is very critical, for which I will be ever grateful to Brinda. All through the case, I really felt assured, that she was ever vigilant, looking out for my interests & making the best decisions & taking the best steps forward. She knows her subject very well & what I admired about her is that she had a very mature approach to my case. She knew exactly what was worth pursuing & what I didn't need to lose sleep over. She is very level-headed & while she never promised me the moon, she went above & beyond to secure my best interests.
