Sometime ago, I had contacted her about a legal issue. She is well-informed, professional and was very helpful.

Sunena is what a lawyer SHOULD be, highly competent, fair, and smart. This is my second review for her. Once is not enough!

I was referred to Sunena Sabharwal when my former partner left me for someone else. I'm a lesbian, this was before we could legally marry, and had been diagnosed with two fairly serious long-term diseases about 4 years earlier. Sunena processed it as a "Marvin Case" and won me $300,000. I will forever be grateful to her; she enabled me to live a decent life. My ex wanted didn't want to give me anything, but Sunena wouldn't let that happen. I thoroughly recommend Sunena Sabharwal for all your relationship-ending needs! read more

Sunena is an excellent family lawyer who will not mislead you by saying what you want to hear. Those family lawyers do exist: they take your money and do nothing to help you. Sunena will honestly assess your circumstances and let you know what you can do to give yourself the best chances for success. I found her to be very knowledgeable and her years of experience have given her a definite advantage over her peers. I highly recommend Sunena to talk you through the process and help you get the outcome you desire. read more

I would highly recommend Ms. Sabharwal for any legal matter. When I needed a good attorney to represent me I met lot of lawyers. Through that process I realized a good lawyer is not who immediately takes your support in the beginning. But the one who tells you the reality of your case and potential judgement. I met Sunena to seek her opinion on my current ongoing case. She spent more than hour going through the papers filed in the court and gave me a very honest feedback and her assessment of the case. She didn't even charge for her time when most attorneys don't meet without paying a fee. She was also very responsive over the emails on my follow up questions. I appreciate that help greatly. I would recommend her as an attorney to definitely meet and take her opinion on your case before deciding on any attorney. read more

I would like to thank Sunena for demonstrating personal attention to all the details of my case and helping me feel more at ease throughout the process. I found her to be highly responsive, knowledgeable, and very honest about all details concerning my case. Before I sought help from Sunena, I spent an enormous amount of money for an emotional battle that made the entire legal process more stressful. I feel grateful to have had the privilege of working with Sunena, and if you're looking for a trustworthy, honest, and dedicated attorney in Family Law, I would highly recommend her. read more

Sunena Sabharwal has great integrity, worked very diligently and was sharp in working the various angles in my divorce case. I had been through two attorneys and was in a bad situation when my friend referred me to Sunena. She was candid in her views when she heard me first, put a cap on the cost of the initial filing and stuck to her word. She invested about double the effort on it but did not change the fee. My case went over 2 years and she was tough and at the same time maintained great communication with the attorney of the other party to help kids/family move through stressful times. She followed up on urgent calls whenever i needed to and has been a trusted advisor who helped bring closure to the case amicably. I have great respect and gratitude for her! read more

Ms. Sabharwal is an ethical and competent attorney who actually returns your calls/emails unlike the previous labor attorney I hired for an EEO matter. Ms. Sabharwal has worked tirelessly on my case which is still ongoing. She provides sound legal advice and strategies. Ms. Sabharwal clearly has vast experience in labor and EEO law. I have recommended her to other colleagues looking for a labor/EEO attorney. read more

Honest ethical and not interested in squeezing you for your hard earned cash but HANDS DOWN well worth every penny!! I was referred to Sunena over ten years ago by a superior court clerk in Santa Clara county who witnessed Sunena's expertise several times over the course of years and she has represented me on two separate cases. The first was a twisted and sordid divorce and custody case in which she didn't tell me what I wanted to hear but rather what the chances of the most likely outcome was going to be for my given set of circumstances. My single most highest priority was to see my daughter and not only did Sunena secure a settlement agreement that lasted from 2009 until the present but she guided me through the process and helped me by allowing me to voice my perceptions and opinions and was able to weed out the fluff from the substance in the multitude of emails and evidence that I had amassed from my ex to maximize my chances of getting a fair settlement agreement which is virtually impossible for Dad's in general. My case was very complex. My career is unique and she listened to me as I explained and educated her on the nuances of my schedule and she then in turn was able to educate and inform the judge and the other parties attorney so that they were in sync with the overall scheduling picture. That being said I would not change a single step in the way that she handled my case. She was passionate on my behalf, knowledgeable in the case law and she believed in me. Secondly, she handled a personal injury case that we settled without even stepping foot in a courtroom. She took on a Major American company and secured what I thought was a very fair settlement that took care of my medical bills, minor albeit, but she handled it seamlessly. If you are in need of lawyer I would highly recommend Sunena Sabharwal. She is easy to talk to and is able to convey complex and technical legal subjects on level that we can all understand. It is intimidating to have to see a lawyer whatever reason you may have but Sunena put me at ease. She will do anything within her legal expertise to navigate through your case. Thanks for reading and Thanks a million Sunena Sabharwal!! read more

I don't think anyone looks forward to the day they have to consult with a lawyer, especially when it is to deal with the unravelling of a relationship. My case was not cut and dry. My partner and I had been together for 20 years but never got married or registered as domestic partners. I talked to a lot of lawyers in San Francisco and the East Bay and not one of them seemed very enthused about taking on my case. I found out why later. I was getting threatening letters from my ex-partners lawyer and I needed to find someone who I liked and had experience in my type of situation, which is called a Marvin Claim (named after the actor Lee Marvin). I was referred to Sunena from another lawyer in Oakland that knew her. I made an appointment and when I went to see her I knew I wanted her to represent me. Her approach was different than all of the others I had talked to. We started to talk about why I had a case immediately. I had been told that many Marvin Claims did not go well for the Plaintiff because the law was not cut and dry for this type of case. Regular divorces have all sorts of precedent for judges and lawyers to follow. Not so with Marvin Claims. This being my first experience with this sort of legal situation I had no idea what to expect. Sunena was always very honest regarding requests or ideas that I had. She never told me what I wanted to hear. She would usually start the answer to my request by saying "I can do that if you really want me to, but this is what will happen." She worked very hard on my case, which is why others weren't not anxious to take one on. I have to say I ended in a much better place then where I was when I started. She guided me through something that was very difficult emotionally and always made me feel heard. I realized how awesome she was when we would be with the lawyers for the defendant (he had a total of 4 different lawyers and in the end had two lawyers to go up against Sunena. She was smarter than they were, more organized and her knowledge of the law was impressive. If you are looking for a lawyer I recommend her with no hesitation. I am certain that my outcome would have been much different had she not been sitting next to me during the process. read more
