About Shikha
Shikha Parikh is an attorney licensed to practice in both Virginia and Maryland. She works out of Paradigm Law, PLC and divides her time between matters that arise under the laws of those two states. Her dual admission gives her the standing to appear in state courts on both sides of the Potomac and to advise clients whose issues cross those borders.
Her early path into the law is not detailed here, but her practice reflects the realities of serving clients across neighboring jurisdictions. Parikh navigates procedural differences between Virginia and Maryland courts and helps clients understand how a local rule or statutory nuance can change an outcome. She often serves as a point of continuity for matters that move between forums.
Over the years she has handled a range of matters that require familiarity with state statutes, administrative processes and local court procedures. That work has demanded careful attention to deadlines, filings and jurisdictional thresholds. She approaches those tasks by breaking issues down into tangible steps and by making the procedural path clear to the people she represents.
Colleagues describe her as pragmatic in her approach to casework. She tends to weigh risks and benefits in concrete terms, and she communicates options plainly. That style is useful when clients must choose between settlement, litigation or other forms of resolution, especially when different rules apply in Virginia and Maryland.
At Paradigm Law, PLC she collaborates with other attorneys and staff to manage cases that touch on state-specific concerns. The firm presence in the region allows her to coordinate local counsel when matters touch multiple counties or specialized administrative tribunals. She also spends time preparing filings and briefing state court judges on contested issues when cases proceed to motion practice.
Outside of court filings and client meetings, Parikh keeps current on legislative and procedural changes in both jurisdictions. Staying attuned to new rules and statutory amendments helps her anticipate how a shift in law might affect ongoing matters. That vigilance informs how she structures a case early on.
She currently practices with Paradigm Law, PLC and focuses her work on matters arising under Virginia and Maryland law.
