About Silky

I take a holistic approach to the practice of law. For me, the holistic practice of law upholds that all aspects of people's needs - physical, social, and mental - should be taken into account and seen as a whole. Using a holistic approach, all potential contributing factors that may affect a person's case are taken into consideration when assessing a person's overall legal situation.

Review Silky Sahnan

Thank You!

Posted by

Silky was very professional yet kind-hearted guiding me through a divorce which was settled completely out of court. She explained every step clearly and the office staff made sure I had all documents ready and properly filed. She was easy to contact and got back to me quickly with any questions I had. Thank you!

She is caring and really knows her business. If you want the best Family Attorney Call Silky Sahnan.
