Peace

The justice system is truly messed up and cares about no one. It’s just the government gaining money. Ms. Shahnam gave me hope, peace and comfort that i was not alone. I truly felt that i had the right attorney the right person fighting not just for me but with for what is right. Thank you so much fo...r the peace i haven’t had in 6 years.

"Shahnam provides exeptional representation to her clients and is an effective advocate in the courtroom.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
