“When we opened our Westchester office last spring and added 11 attorneys in the office in October, we had a goal of increasing our service across the region and reaching into upstate New York and Connecticut,” said Michael A.

Dolowich. “KD’s primary commitment is always to delivering the highest level of professional service by knowing what clients want and how to effectively and efficiently meet their expectations – Reshma’s reputation proves she shares this same commitment to her clients and is a natural match for enhancing our strong and growing team.”

“Knowing KD first began as an employment law firm that grew over 35 years into a multi-practice national presence, I knew the firm would be a great professional fit for me, as I look to expand my practice nationwide,” Khanna said. “KD has an enviable national reputation and I look forward to the cross-industry opportunities that joining this national team offers.”

Khanna received her J.D. from Brooklyn Law School and her B.S. in Criminal Justice from Northeastern University.
