Attorney Sasha Khan is a determined, highly educated, and relentless family law litigator with the main goal of ensuring that justice is carried out within the family court system. She has a soft tone that helps bring calm to many of our clients dealing with unnerving situations, but that can change at the drop of a pin when the advocacy hat comes on and she has to argue for what our clients want and what we believe is the right outcome.
Attorney Khan’s legal brilliance is only second to her undeniable compassion and practice methods. Sasha’s approach in family law matters is to understand your story and what is important to you and to customize an in-depth strategy that fits toward achieving your goals. She does this all while continuously keeping you involved in the process with open communication, but while also conducting regular cost-benefit analyses regarding what you are fighting for with what it may cost to get the desired outcome. This helps keep goals realistic and helps keep the process efficient.
Sasha always strives to resolve each divorce and custody case using her expertise in negotiating but understands that all cases cannot be resolved short of trial. Attorney Khan is an excellent trial litigator and has obtained many favorable Post-Trial Judgments for our clients.
Family law is not about getting the other side to do what you want, rather it’s often about creating a situation that makes the other side think they’re getting what they want while it gets you the outcome you desire. That’s what we call a win-win, and it is something that Attorney Khan is incredibly skilled at being able to smoothly accomplish.
The devil is always in the details. Attorney Khan’s attention to the details that others may often overlook have caused her to become a favorite with our clients. Sasha has a natural ability to tell her client’s side of the story to the Court in a way that makes everything extremely relatable, which leads to getting better results because it makes it easier for the Judge to understand and be able to focus on the important issues rather than the kitchen sink the other side often likes to try to throw around the courtroom.
After undergoing her own personal experience within the family law arena, Sasha decided that family law representation is where she wanted to focus her legal talents. That’s where her passion and dedication for her clients stems from.
