Sheila Zolnoor

I can’t begin to explain what a blessing Sheila has been in my life. She is so smart and so down to earth at the same time. I felt like I was in good hands from the minute I spoke to her on the phone. I don’t know if it’s her soothing voice or the fact that she was so non judgmental. Or the fact that... she just knew her stuff. The other lawyers I called would not give me the time of day over the phone. They all wanted me to come in, they were short with me, they acted like they were way too busy to talk to me. I understand that people don’t want their time wasted, but neither do I. If I came to their office in the middle of the work day, I would have to take off work. Being in sales, that’s a day of making no money. She accomodated me, even though I could tell she was busy. She made me feel heard and I am really grateful. She was worth every penny. She told me it was a good idea to hire someone sooner than later, even if it was not her, so that someone could at least try to get the charges dropped before the case was filed. I thought it was already filed when i was arrested. I hired her on the spot over the phone. Two weeks later, she called me and said “I think you’ll be happy.” Then she tells me she got the charges dropped before they filed them. No court date. Nothing. One of my charges was a felony. I never even had to go to court. Happy is an understatement. I am thrilled. I hope she knows she has a fan in me for life.

Sheila Zolnoor is an excellent lawyer who has helped out many of our clients at James Club Recovery. She understands that sometimes substance abuse results in individuals perpetuating a crime. BUT, like us, she believes in treatment versus incarceration for deserving individuals. I have personally s...een her lawyering and she has had incredible results in the courtroom. We highly recommend this great attorney!

I knew from the very first time i spoke with her that we were in good hands. I knew we had to hire her. My friend hired her for her son years ago and now my son needed somebody. I had another lawyer at first. My son was charged with attempted murder but he was only defending himself. Because they did...n’t give him a bond, the other lawyer had to have a special kind of bond hearing for cases like this where the law doesn;t give a bond. the judge denied it. I did not feel like he was doing a good job for us at all— I did not feel like he represented what he should have. He did not even give the judge any law or anything to support a bond. He just said oh give him a bond he has his family here, blablabla. And the motion he filed was one page long. We hired sheila and my son is right now sitting at home with me. She filed this very long motion, like 20 pages, she found witnesses, she brought evidence of other bad things the other guy had done before that shows he was probably the bad guy here too and my son was only protecting himself. She told the judge about cases that was exactly like our case that was made basically to persuade him to change his mind from the last time we asked for bond. The state didn’t even say anything new. They kept saying the same thing they said the last time. but now there was new evidence and testimony and cases, but they still said nothing new. They looked surprised, like oh im not prepared, OOPS! Thats the other thing about sheila—she was so cool calm collected but she was so prepared!!! I was proud to have her there for my son and i thank god for her.

Sheila is a lifesaver, I can't say enough good things. the minute I met with her I knew I was in good hands. she has this very easy way about her. she's confident and competent and humble at the same time. she was recommended to me by a friend who she represented on some crazy stuff--he had 4 cases o...pen, was scoring prison mandatory, had 2 violations of probation, and she somehow walked him out of court with no jail no prison nothing. I came to her when my case was already 2 years old and my other lawyer had done nothing. He said I had to take prison or go to trial and I didn't want to do either. Sheila came in, spent hours talking to me and my girl, talked to some people I know, and then she went to the state. I don't know what she did, or how she did it, but after 2 years of only PRISON OR TRIAL, suddenly I'm offered a withhold and 18 months probation? I don't know, she's magic. I scored 56 months. every day I get to spend with my kids I thank god for sheila.

I hired sheila for a criminal case. I was charged with a first degree felony, a crime I am ashamed of that I committed at a low point in my life. I am not a criminal and I was so embarrassed by the whole thing. She never once made me feel judged. She took me in and made me feel safe and confident. Sh...e has a way with people. I don't know how to explain it, but as soon as I hired her I felt at ease. Its 15 months later and I have a clean record. A first degree felony to nothing. I still can't believe it. I don't know how to thank her, so I am writing this review in hopes that other people will find safety with her too. I was at a low point and now I get to start over without the shame following me. I highly recommend Sheila. I honestly thought she was too pretty to be a good lawyer, but I learned not judge a book by its cover. I hope I never need her again, but if I do, I'm glad to have her on my side. She's a friend for life.
