Top Notch Attorney

I could not have asked for a better experience with an attorney! Shaliz is a rising star in the legal world-- super smart, has excellent experience and knows how to get a deal done. She not only had my best interests at heart during the process, she was accessible, took time to answer all of my que...stions patiently and always made time to update me on progress. I highly recommend Shaliz and her talented team of attorneys at Romano Law!

Professional and knowledgeable

I have personally worked with the Attorney Shalizeh Sadigh over an employment contract. I am a physician and this was my first offered job after my fellowship. She is obviously knowledgeable and is very professional. She requested to take a look at the contract and in a very reasonable time frame she... called me back with great recommendations. My impression was that she really wanted me to get the best out of this contract and she did not rush me and spent a very good time explaining the legal and technical terms and the consequences. Then she provided suggestions with very strong reasoning. When I returned back to talk about that contract to my employer, he was impressed and since I had very strong reasoning which i was thought by Shalizeh, I could make many changes to my benefit. I strongly recommend them for any legal consult.

Solid legal advice, incredibly responsive , highly recommended!

I have known Shaliz professionally for over 5 years and have used her services numerous times. Shaliz has advised us (my writing partner and I) on option/purchase agreements regarding our feature projects and a documentary project, as well as LLC formation matters. Shaliz is proactive, keeps apprais...ed of our goals, concerns and the development of our projects. She is able to communicate complex legal issues in layman's terms. Phone calls and emails are returned almost immediately whenever we have a question. I have had much experience dealing with large law firms over the years, where the service was substandard and responsiveness horrible, and I can say that I have found, and continue to find, the attention and service that we have received from Shaliz and Romano Law to be far superior.

Ethical and Trust worthy!

I called Shalizeh to get advise when I found out my employers were involved in unethical/not so legal activities and were asking me to participate. Shalizeh, gave me the best advise...she told me to refuse and put it on paper via email to the owners clearly stating why I was refusing to perform what... they wanted me to do. Those emails are now worth gold, as every attorney in town is telling me had I not had anything in writing, I couldn't protect my self or go after them. I thank her in my heart every day for giving me such good advise! She is smart, ethical, amazing, calm and gives the best advice to protect her clients as she sees the big picture and predicts the future outcomes. I highly recommend her as an attorney; hire and work her, you'll be so glad you did! She also followed up with me to be sure things were all right with me afterwords which says a lot about her.

Excellent Attorney!

I would highly recommend consulting Shalizeh Sadig for her expertise and knowledge concerning franchising. I sought her advice recently about whether she thought I was making a good decision, since I was a potentially new entrepreneur. So after asking me critical questions about my venture, she mad...e me realize that particular opportunity may not be right for me. She suggested that I find out more information and get much needed answers that could let me know if that business was legitimate or not. As it turned out, her instincts were correct, the franchise was extremely questionable and too risky to say the least and subsequently, I averted a financial disaster. So I will be forever grateful that Shalizeh helped me avoid that situation and gave me such invaluable insight as to what signs to look for while doing my due diligence. Shalizeh is a brilliant, extremely knowledgeable, kind, considerate and trustworthy attorney who will help you with all of your legal needs.
