Built for the moments that matter most
The redesigned site leads with estate planning, but it still reflects the broader work Nexus Law does for clients whose personal and business lives often overlap.
Families planning ahead
Parents, couples, and caregivers who want guardianship, healthcare, and asset decisions documented before a crisis forces them.
Immigrant households
Clients balancing U.S. obligations with relatives, assets, or decisions tied to India or other international contexts.
Professionals with layered finances
Households with real estate, retirement accounts, business interests, or blended-family considerations that need more than a template will.
Founders and small businesses
Owners who need practical business-law support without losing sight of family protection and long-term planning.
Founder
A more editorial profile for the person clients are trusting with the plan
Read the full storySulbha Rai Sankhla founded Nexus Law to make legal planning feel less intimidating and far more actionable. Her perspective is shaped by years of litigation in India, advanced legal study in London and Seattle, and in-house legal work at Amazon and Symetra.
That mix of courtroom experience, corporate discipline, and immigrant lived experience informs how the firm guides clients today: with precision, empathy, and an emphasis on giving families and business owners the confidence to make decisions early rather than react late.
Clarity before complexity
Cross-border context without legal jargon
Planning that protects people, not just paperwork

FAQ Preview
Answer the high-intent questions before they slow the booking decision.
The redesigned homepage keeps FAQ content useful but short. The full topic-based searchable FAQ lives on its own page.
Consultations
How do I know whether I should book a consultation or start with the readiness check?
Use the readiness check if you want a quick read on whether your situation points toward a will, a trust, or a deeper planning conversation. Book a consultation when you already know your family, business, or cross-border details need legal strategy.
Consultations
Does sending the contact form guarantee that a consultation will be scheduled?
No. Nexus Law reviews incoming requests to confirm fit and availability before scheduling. Submitting the form starts the intake process, but it does not automatically create an attorney-client relationship or reserve an appointment.
Insurance / Legal Plans
Do you accept MetLife Legal Plans?
Yes, but only for specific covered matters. Coverage can depend on the legal issue and the plan's scope, and some costs such as filing fees, shipping, notary charges, and other out-of-pocket expenses may still fall to the client.
Insurance / Legal Plans
Which matters are typically covered under a legal plan?
The site currently references MetLife coverage for certain estate-planning matters, some family- and employment-based immigration matters, and selected real-estate matters. Business-law work and tax-planning work are generally not presented as covered services on the current live site.
