Radhika is a great attorney and goes the extra mile with client requests. When we reached out to her on recommedations on F,H visas, she provided deep insights that helped us make clear decisions based on our existing scenario. She has the ability to understand what is important to her clients and guides them in the right direction. She's vocal about potential risks helping clients see the bigger picture. I would reach out to work with her in future and recommend her strongly!
