To all of you who are looking for a smart, strong, and experienced attorney who actually has a beating heart inside of them. This is your attorney. I have a toddler and was married to the worst narcissist of all. I needed someone who was experienced, smart, strong (could put up a good fight in court), and was good about being quick to respond back with any communication. Archana had all of those qualities and more! She was so pleasant to work with and I feel lucky she was there to help me out during the worse time of my life. Thank you Archana, we need more attorneys like YOU!!!

I was fortunate to have been referred to Archana because of her experience and work ethic. It was the first time I have dealt with a family matter situation. After my first phone conversation with her, I felt comfortable knowing that my situation was in good hands. Archana had a gentle, respectful demeanor, and was truthful and realistic about the different potential outcomes- and because of this, I placed my trust in her. Archana's primary concern was that of my well-being and that of my family; and for that I am grateful, particularly during what was such a challenging time. She is excellent at negotiating and helped me reach an agreement that met both parties' expectations at a reasonable compromise. She further impressed me with her honesty in providing the cost of my case. I am still her client and will continue on with her if I need help in the future.

Archana is brilliant and I could not have asked for a better attorney to represent me. She has excellent knowledge of the law, she makes good judgement calls, she is willing to listen and above all, she has a lot of compassion for her clients. She truly empathized with me and helped me come out of one of the most stressful periods of my life with less damage and positive results. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a strong, reliable and compassionate attorney.

Archana is the best thing that could've happened to me and my family. I hired Archana to handle my divorce. The divorce was complicated; there were properties and a child involved. Archana went above and beyond to explain every part of the process, so that I felt comfortable and informed when making decisions. In the end she was able to help me reach a settlement outside of court within six months, which included full custody of my daughter. Her experience truly set her aside from every other attorney I had consulted with and I am so glad I retained her services. I honestly could not say enough good things about her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a family service attorney.

Archana tells it to you straight -- even when you don't want to hear it. If she's doing that, then you need to be listening. She is smart, she is informed, and also generous -- no nickel and diming here. She does not want you to waste your money and will thoughtfully guide you to understand the law even when it is nonsensical or unfair. She is highly intelligent and patient, keeping her demeanor and presence in front of the judge despite the behavior of opposing counsel. Archana has been pivotal in helping me stay focused throughout the legal process, to understand implications of choices, and to compromise when necessary. If a lawyer is telling you what you want to hear you would be right to suspect perverse motives -- you may feel comfortable now but it will hurt you in the end. Count on Archana to do an excellent job. Count on her to be professional and on point. Thank you for everything on behalf of our family!

Archana makes a very unpleasant process much more pleasant. Right at the beginning, I felt she was far more empathetic than other attorneys I had spoken to. She adopts an approach which is firm and protective, but not unnecessarily adversarial and vicious like other attorneys. Throughout the process, I felt she had my back at all times, but she never took the baits that the opposition was throwing, always keeping the end goal in sight while ensuring the right actions are taken to protect me at the right times. She will always try to settle things out of court as much as possible, saving time, money and unnecessary conflict. At the same time, a fair resolution was reached for both parties. She is very responsive, gets back to most messages within a day or at most two, and patiently answered all my million questions. She also helped me take care of estate planning at the end, which was a breeze.

PROPERTY DIVISION SERVICES
California is a community property state, which means that all assets and debts acquired during the marriage are equally shared 50/50 unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties.
Therefore, it is important to know what property constitutes as community property and what exactly is each party entitled under California law.
SrivasLaw can help you not only characterize the type of property the parties have but how the value of each is assessed.
SrivasLaw works with top forensic accountants to ensure that clients understand the true implications of the property division.

ARCHANA SRIVASTAVA, ESQ. OWNER OF FIRM
ABOUT THE ATTORNEY
Ms. Srivastava moved to the United States from India when she was a young child. Ms. Srivastava's parents got divorced in the late early 1990s, where divorce was not heard of in South Asian culture. The divorce of Ms. Srivatava's parents instilled in her the passion for family law, with her commitment to serve others and the best interest of their children. Being of South Asian descent, Ms. Srivastava understands the stigma that is placed on divorce in the Indian culture, and more specifically, how divorce affects the children. Therefore, Ms. Srivastava's litigation style is centered on looking at the whole picture and getting the best results for her clients, which often times, does not just involve property division. Ms. Srivastava also places a great deal of emphasis on co-parenting and safeguarding the children in order to help families cope with the emotions of a divorce.
EDUCATION
Ms. Srivastava received her B.A. from The Pennsylvania State University and her J.D. from Widener University School of Law. While in law school, Ms. Srivastava was part of Law Review and the Moot Court Honor Society, where she held a Board position. We speak: ENGLISH, HINDI, TELUGU, PUNJABI **Translation service available via appointment**
EXPERIENCE
During law school, Ms. Srivastava interned with Bay Area Legal Aid where she helped represent domestic violence victims obtaining temporary restraining orders and child custody proceedings. After graduating law school, Ms. Srivastava interned for the Santa Clara Superior Court, where she worked at the Family Law Clinic in drafting and filing dissolution and child custody paperwork. Ms. Srivastava also spent several months clerking for a family law judge where she assisted with drafting statements of decisions and legal research in order for the judge to make an informed ruling. Prior to starting her own firm in 2018, Ms. Srivastava was an associate at various law firms where she handled exclusively family law cases.
