Sandhya Khandavalli Forouzin

In 2021 I was referred to Sandhya by a friend who had worked with her who said she was fantastic. Boy, what an understatement! I don’t think words can express how grateful I am to have worked with Sandhya on a difficult emergency Child Custody case. When I reached out to Sandhya initially, she ret...urned my call quickly, told me the services she offered, and she begin advising me immediately. Over the next year, with several orders and court appearances Sandhya was always prompt, professional and thoroughly explained all of the possible outcomes in any given decision I was making. Just having her experience and guidance was monumental in keeping my sanity during an extremely stressful time. I now have full sole and legal custody of my daughter and she’s beginning to thrive again. I recommend Sandhya to anyone I know when I get the chance and just can’t thank her enough.

Sandhya Is fantastic! My ex-wife is a lawyer who filed a default. Trying to remove custody from me and leave me penniless in a divorce. Sandhya helped me by Filing a request to deny default. She instructed me what to say when I was in court. My wife showed up to court with an attorney by her side. ... Not only did I get the default denied, I was awarded attorneys fees. Temporary joint custody, plus an increase in spousal support. It’s only the beginning but “wow”! What a start! I owe it all to Sandhya- this heart of gold.. I can never thank you enough. Sincerely, Scott

Seeking legal help can be scary especially when your fighting for your child with someone you thought would be rational. I use to live in California and now in NY ( my home state) with my daughter. I was threaten with custody, (in the beginning he wanted to take our daughter),and child support (he wa...nted money, he made more than me and refused to send anything for her for almost 2 years). I was representing myself when our case began in 2019. I developed anxiety and was stressed out by the lies and he was telling to his attorney. I felt I was not being heard in court because I was representing myself and his attorney was not looking to work with me or looking out for the best interest of the child or her client. I decided to look for an attorney and was able to do so by using the court that the case is in. I paid the small fee and was given two attorney’s information. After speaking on the phone with both attorneys I felt comfortable with Sandhya. Again, I live in New York, we did not meet everything I’m going by is my gut. During our first conversation I felt heard by Sandhya. She listens, and her voice was so calm which is what I needed in an attorney along with being communicative when needed and a fighter. I needed someone that knew what he or she was doing and was looking out for me and my daughter. With Sandhya’s huge help I was able to finally receive child support and back child support along with changing our custody agreement. I could finally breath and wasn’t stressed filing court documents. Do understand I’m a single mother, so attorney fees isn’t something I had in mind or took lightly, especially when you feel like things are being dragged out either by the other side or the court. I came to think of this as an investment for my child and my peace of mind. I do not regret getting an attorney and felt blessed that I had Sandhya. Sandhya is a great listener, caring, give honest feedback and has a gift for picking up a person energy which came in handy when making a decision on how to or when approach a situation in and out of court. Even though my child support and custody has been established, I’m still working with Sandhya to recalculate child support due to new expenses for my child. I believe it was best to work with my attorney due to the father of my child has a history for not assisting financially and wanted it documented in court. If you have the privilege of meeting and working with her please know that she is the real deal.
