Outstanding Lawyer: Compassionate, Caring, Sharp

I had talked to three or four attorneys before being lucky enough to find Jherna. The first three or four were more interested in "fighting" to prolong the issue. I wanted to resolve it. Jherna tapped the brakes and told me to send her my rental lease. We had an issue with a commercial lease and ...she went above and beyond what I expected. It didn't end as I would have liked because the landlord was deliberately depositing our rent after the 5th to nullify the lease. They also had written what she called "the nastiest rental contract she'd ever seen". Later, she reviewed a "business interruption" insurance policy and said there were sections that were too vague that gave them a loophole. She advised I write an addendum closing these loopholes. I did and every insurance company after that refused to agree to those terms, meaning they were going to take my money but not cover any damages for "acts of god" "viruses" and "government shutdowns (9/11)".

Best in Class Council and Defender

Atty Jherna Shahani has gone above and beyond representing me and counceling me on legal matters. She takes pride in her work and goes the extra mile to ensure that I received fair and just representation. I highly recommend her to defend myself or anyone of my friends or family. She is professional... and diligent about getting the best outcome and I couldn’t be more pleased to have her represent me for any legal matter that comes up in life. Don’t hesitate to contact her, you won’t be disappointed!!!

Best lawyer in Vegas

Jherna Shahani is one of the top criminal defense attorneys in Las Vegas. She cares a lot about her clients, and puts them first. I felt extremely comfortable with her as my lawyer, after talking to her at my free consultation. I don’t make much, but she was really nice and we worked out a payment... plan to best fit my income situation. I got arrested and charged with felony trafficking, and felony possession. I went with a public defender first, since I didn’t make much money. The absolute best deal I got was to plead guilty to a felony and have 5 years supervised probation. I ended up talking to Jherna Shahani, and retained her the first time we spoke. She didn’t give me fake promises just to get my money. She actually cared, and explained to me everything she could try to do for me. She worked for me hard, and ended up getting me a deal where I just had to plead guilty to one gross misdemeanor. NO FELONIES AT ALL !!! If you are in need of a criminal defense attorney, I highly recommend Jherna Shahani. She goes far and beyond what is expected, and gets great results.
