Raha is sharp, detailed oriented and always looks a few steps ahead in every case.

She is reasonable, convincing and has the right skills to achieve a settlement, often avoiding client a costly court process. Raha encourages her clients to explore what’s important to them and meaningfully participate in the process so that they can achieve solutions that best fit their long-term needs.
