I had some shitty lawyers, and I was skeptical of hiring a new lawyer to help with my retrial. I am lucky because Ms. Kumarachandran was amazing. She got our exceptions written and delivered quickly. Wrote up arguments very clearly, not like dumb lawyer jargon, her thought process on how to attack a case is very easy to follow. But she still was able to research very quickly to find relevant case law to support the arguments. You know because that's what you want, a smart lawyer, that has the research and knowledge to back it up in court. Very professional, really helped in our CPS case, so grateful. Great debater in court, really provided everything I would want or need in a lawyer, at a more than reasonable price. If I ever needed a lawyer for family law I would definitely go with her again.

She was great for me and my family 4 never meeting her. We only spoke 2 her on the phone and Via emails. She did everything that was asked of her and then more she found out things on my ex to help my case and to help me. All in all I would recommend her highly and I will be using her again in the future. I want to thank K.Kumudha

I had a great experience working with Ms. Kumarachandran. I knew that I was in great hands for my custody case from the first meeting: she was quick to get the facts, very knowledgeable about the law, and thoughtful in her strategy. Her expertise in family and child custody was invaluable for the successful litigation of my case. She worked at my pace: always available, but allowing me to reflect when I needed more time. She was supportive from beginning to end and helped me get through the most difficult time in my life. I highly recommend her counsel to anyone who asked.

Ms. Kumarachandran gave me straight forward advice and was extremely timely in her responses. She was well versed in law and if she didn't know the answer right away she'd find out for me very quickly. I'd definitely hire her for my future legal needs.
