In Safe Hands

Andrella was a great resource for me. She came highly recommended from a friend and did not disappoint. She was there every step of the way for any questions, trepidation, uncertainty as divorce is a difficult process. Andrella helped review all contracts, answered all of my questions about th...e legality of things, and ultimately had my best interests at heart. She was always prompt and detailed in going through all aspects of alimony, division of assets, child custody as well. She made me feel confident with her advice and her knowledge.

The nost organized attorney who remembers EVERYTHING

Andrella is amazing. You tell her one thing and she remembers it forever. This is very helpful in custody cases. She is intelligent and does a wonderful job. I highly recommend her. No price Gauging like many other attorneys. Honest and ethical all around!

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!

Grateful..

Andrella worked along with Puja on my child custody case. Andrella is very professional and was excellent at articulating my story to the court. Andrella is efficient and prompt when following- up. She was always available to answer any questions or to simply put my mind at ease, during such a dif...ficult time. She patiently heard my questions and gave detailed answers. She went above and beyond to help me prepare for my case. It was a pleasure working with Andrella, and if I ever have attorney needs for this area of law, would use Sachdev Legal Group in a heartbeat! Thank you!

Very Knowledgeable, Detailed ,and Professional at Family Law .

I cannot speak highly enough of the family law practice (Sachdev Legal), both Puja Sachdev and Andrella Gonzalez are two of the most professional , knowledgeable and detailed lawyers I have retained and dealt with. My marriage was a long term marriage of some 18+ years; this situation was slightly... unique in the fact that I had put a significant amount of separate property into the marriage. Puja and Andrella gave excellent and professional advice on how best to represent and protect my asset value. There was a significant amount of detailed work that had to be done in compiling financial information. Both Puja and Andrella did excellent work in preparing legal documentation and positioning my case as strongly as possible. We successfully got to a good divorce settlement via the mediation process. Divorce is one of the most difficult and emotionally stressful processes any person has to go through in life. Puja , Andrella, and the para-legal Heather Dermody were always available to talk and offer good advice, addressing all the difficult aspects of divorce ; child custody , financial issues, child support, spousal support , what to expect in the divorce process-- etc. I would highly recommend the legal practice of Sachdev legal !
