Exceptional!

Working with Andrella was a pleasure! She made the tedious work a lot easier. Her attention to detail is superior. She captured events, dates, and circumstances in an accurate way making my declarations depict a very clear picture. Andrella is very patient and very responsive and she always got back ...to me quickly. I had many, many questions and I always got an answer promptly. She also provided me with resources needed for my specific case which saved me time and stress. Thank you Andrella for working so diligently on my case and for representing my thoughts and concerns so accurately.

Divorce

Andrella assisted me with my difficult divorce. She was responsive, professional, and dare I say...kind. A lot of attorneys don't want to get involved in the emotions, but even just the kind words of - I'm sorry you are going through this...seriously meant the world to me. There were so many twists a...nd turns throughout my divorce and Andrella was there every step of the way. I'm thankful that I was able to find her on AVVO and would highly recommend her to anyone going through a similar situation.

Professional, knowledgeable, and helpful

Andrella did most of the leg work with my divorce. She was very helpful with getting all of the paperwork completed and always kept me informed.

Amazing and so helpful

It's hard to "review" someone who has helped you though such a tumultious time, because at the end of the day these ladies are my heroes. There may be other options out there, but I honestly wouldn't recommend anyone other than Puja and Andrella for the job. Their team was always there for me, even w...hen I thought the sky was falling, they picked me back up and made sure everything was going to be ok. Not only did they have my best interest at heart, but they never put, or let me put, my daughter's best interest aside (even though there are times I wanted her all to myself). Going through a divorce is hard enough and when you add a child into the mix, it can be devastating for everyone involved. Puja and Andrella understand the emotions and worked with me at my pace to make the process as seamless as humanly possible. There were times Puja had to be the mediator between myself and my spouse, so we didn't tear each other apart, because she knew we had a young daughter who would remember how we treated each other. Some days I would bring my computer and work out of her conference room, just so I could be around people and not curl up into a ball and cry all day long. Puja even gave me a ton of extra moving boxes she had from her recent move so I didn't have to buy any when I was packing up my place. To say that Puja and Andrella "care" about their clients is a total understatement. They love what they do and it comes acoss in their level of dedication to their clients, and as a former client I can say that I felt loved. Andrella and Puja are incredible negotiators and were able to get me everything I asked for and a very resonable custody arragement that would be in everyone's best interest. I never thought I would need their services, but when I did, I'm so glad I found this team of amazing lawyers who gave me so much to work with for the next chapter of my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Kind Compassionate Professional and Gifted

Andrella was part of the Sachdev team that handled my divorce. Andrea worked tirelessly even thru the holidays. She worked with compassion and stayed on top of my case. I was kept fully informed. I could not have had a better team.
