Asha is incredibly smart, insightful, caring and most importantly someone who can grab a very complex and emotionally charged situation and bring great calm and direction. Asha's case studies and ability to bring all available perennate law to bear is second to none!

"I have had both the pleasure of working with Ms. Padania as well as having been opposing counsel on a matter. Ms. Padania is a true professional. She is a persistent advocate for her clients, who uses her substantial knowledge of family law, her negotiation skills, and professionalism to advocate for her clients. I highly endorse her!"
"Asha is very passionate about her clients and about family law. When I worked with her at API Legal Outreach she worked tirelessly to represent her clients. She is particularly adept at working with South Asian clients and in particular is able to navigate the dowry/jewelry minefield, quite well."
"Asha Padania is a knowledgeable and dedicated attorney with integrity. She is always responsive and thorough. It is always a pleasure to work with an attorney who has such high ethical standards. She treats all of her clients with respect and takes the time to ensure that her clients understand each step of the legal process so that her clients may make informed decisions. Ms. Padania is a true advocate for her clients and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs assistance in family law."
