About Aakash Sharma - Connecticut Attorney
I started the Law Office of Aakash Sharma, LLC to do a particular kind of work: careful, well-coordinated legal planning for Connecticut families — the kind of work where a lawyer takes time to listen, explains what's going on in plain language, and stays accessible after the engagement is over. Not a factory. Not a template. Just thorough, thoughtful work for people who want their plans done right.

My Background
I'm a Connecticut-licensed attorney based in the Hartford area, practicing estate planning, elder law, and immigration law. My office is at 750 Main Street, Suite 100, Hartford, CT.
I maintain active membership in several professional organizations that keep me connected to current developments in my practice areas and to the broader bar of Connecticut attorneys doing similar work:
- Connecticut Bar Association (CBA)
- Hartford County Bar Association (HCBA)
- National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) and its Connecticut Chapter (CT-NAELA) — the leading national organization for elder law and special needs practitioners
- American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) Connecticut Chapter
- WealthCounsel — an estate planning drafting network widely used by Connecticut and national practitioners
I run this practice with intention. I'm selective about the clients I take on and the matters I handle, which allows me to give each engagement the attention and careful work it deserves.
What I Practice
I focus on three interrelated areas:
Estate Planning — Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives, and beneficiary coordination for young families, blended families, and modest estates.
Elder Law — Medicaid planning, conservatorship, and special needs planning for Connecticut families navigating long-term care.
Immigration Law — Family-based immigration, naturalization, K-1 fiancé visas, and asylum representation before USCIS and Immigration Court.
These practice areas connect naturally. Families planning for their children's future also often need to plan for aging parents. Immigrant families building their lives in Connecticut need estate plans that reflect their unique circumstances. I practice across all three because that's the reality of the families I serve.
How I Work
A few things that set my practice apart:
Solo practitioner, direct access. You work directly with me. Every consultation, every document, every follow-up call. No handoffs to paralegals, no junior associates drafting your plan, no surprise when someone you've never met shows up to your signing appointment.
Flat-fee engagements for estate planning. You know what you're paying before we begin. No billable-hour anxiety, no clock running during phone calls, no surprise at invoice time.
Virtual and in-person options. I maintain a Hartford office at 750 Main Street, Suite 100, where we can meet in person if you prefer. For clients across Connecticut, I also work virtually — videoconference consultations, e-signature where permissible, and mail-in options for document execution. This flexibility serves busy families, older clients who prefer to work from home, and clients in parts of Connecticut where driving to Hartford is inconvenient.
Honest about scope. I tell clients clearly what I handle and what I don't. For complex high-net-worth estate tax planning, federal circuit appeals, business immigration, or other matters outside my core practice, I refer to attorneys who specialize in those areas. Advertising what I don't do, alongside what I do, is part of how I practice.
WealthCounsel member. I use WealthCounsel's document drafting platform, which is widely used by Connecticut and national estate planning attorneys. This gives me access to continually updated document templates, planning resources, and peer continuing education. It does not replace individualized planning or the professional judgment that goes into each client's plan — those are still mine.
Why Estate Planning, Elder Law, and Immigration?
These practice areas share something important: they're areas where a lawyer's work most directly touches family life. A will isn't an asset allocation — it's a statement about who raises your children. A power of attorney isn't a financial delegation — it's about who makes medical decisions when you can't. An asylum petition isn't a paperwork exercise — it's about whether a family can remain safely together.
I chose these areas because I want to do work that matters to the people on the other side of the table. Connecticut families deserve lawyers who take that seriously.
