Review Shaheen Manshoory

A true professional

Posted by

I contacted 4 law firms before finally contacting Manshoory Law Firm. I asked all 4 of the them the exact same questions I asked Manshoory and to be honest, the first 4 were a waste of my time. I elected to go with him based upon the answers he provided. It was precisely the legal representation I needed!! The process appeared to be far too “simple” however I learned that it was just his style of conducting business. He was prompt, honest and very trustworthy. My case was handled with nothing but 100% professionalism and the results were exactly what I had dreamed of!! I highly recommend Manshoory Law Firm!!

By far the absolute best

Posted by

Ive hired Shaheen Manshoory for my legal council for two different cases over the past 2 and a half years. I was not happy with just having the public defender in my case and wanted more personalized attention. Not only has he always responded to any and every question I have had promptly, but I never felt lost. I never wondered, "What's supposed to happen next?" or "What do I need to do next?" or even "How am I going to get through this?" I always got called by himself directly or by someone at his firm anytime there was any sort of new update. When the court date was delayed for COVID 19, he told me weeks in advance and continued to call me at least once a week leading up to the new court date (it was postponed several months later) just to check in and see if I had any questions or concerns. I love that! Most people have to jump through hoops trying to talk to anyone willing to help them with a question. It's that sort of attention to his clients and personalized touches that made me not feel like a criminal or just another low life. I cannot thank him enough for everything he has done for me. He gave me my life back.

Astonishingly experienced, practical, and honest criminal attorney

Posted by

My experience with Manshoory Law Group was phenomenal. Absolutely, all the staff at the firm were very professional, welcoming, empathetic, personable, had great communication, and most importantly honest. Prior to hiring Shaheen I had hired another "reputable, with 5 star reviews on Avvo" attorney. Unfortunately, that was an awful mistake & experience that thought me how to recognize and value professionals like Shaheen. Honest with superb knowledge and ethics. I hired Shaheen last minute to represent a family member with multiple charges including probation violation and it was the best decision ever. Seriously, I can't recommend Shaheen enough. The only downside was due to the covid pandemic/quarantine I never got to actually meet Shaheen in person but nevertheless he was always available, a phone call away. He never once made me feel like I was bothering him. Continuously very calm, attentive, updating, and reassuring me and my family member in custody of the case status and plan to resolve the case. Despite, all the court/jail delays and closures due to the covid pandemic/quarantine, Shaheen resolved the case extremely fast within 3 months. He advocated and made possible: rehabilitation services with probation reinstatement instead of prison time. I promise that you wont regret hiring Shaheen to represent you. Thank you Shaheen! You are truly the best!

A lawyer with integrity

Posted by

I came across Mr Manshoory when i needed a lawyer for a restraining order case, upon meeting him and talking i knew he was the lawyer for me. He is honest and thorough, he wants you to win your case. He is extremely available always there when you have questions and concerns. His staff have the same level of integrity as he does, In the end i won my case with ease thanks to Mr. Manshoory's work. Even after my case was won he helped me to tie up loose ends free of charge, truly he is a good man and an excellent lawyer, i would highly recommend him!

The BEST! Integrity Experienced Honest & Talented

Posted by

My case was more complicated than most. Residing in a foreign country with a 10 year old felony warrant in Los Angeles. Shaheen was referred to me by a friend. He turned out to be a Godsend! He made things simple and easy to understand, in a very intricate case. Not only that, he assured my safe return across the border into the USA. Then met me in court on time, prepared & ready to defend me. I had a large sum of cash in an envelope with my restitution and other fees. I was taken away in court, I handed him the envelope. At that time , he could do whatever he wanted with the cash. But instead, he did everything right! He paid my restitution, took care of all of my legal proceedings, Contacted my family members and friends and even held onto my cell phone while I was detained. He saved my life! He was able to negotiate three years probation, non committing. Then recently when I ran into probation trouble because of the covid-19, he was able to navigate me and communicate so well on what action to take. Again, he had the opportunity to take advantage of me if he wanted to. But, it's not within his character. At every turn, he does what's right. Words to describe Shaheen; HONEST is number one! Integrity, loyalty, prompt, caring and committed are the other words I use to describe him. He actually really cares about his clients! You can feel it in all of his interactions. In times of trouble, there's no one else I'd want in my corner. Attorneys sometimes get a bad rap, Shaheen rates above all the others.

Top notch legal team!

Posted by

I found Manshoory Law Group through Yelp while searching for a reputable and effective attorney to help me clear up charges I had accumulated over the years which included multiple drug related offenses, warrants, unpaid tickets etc. They responded to my inquiry in a very timely manner and set up an initial consultation. Shaheen and his team were very welcoming and knowledgeable and assured me they would be able to help me. Price wise I was expecting them to charge me an arm and a leg but was pleasantly surprised when we crunched numbers. Shaheen and his team were awesome at keeping me updated on the progress of my case(s) (which were in two different counties) and I never had to step a foot in court! Long story short, Mr. Manshoory and his team gave me a fresh start and allowed me to put my past behind me. Thank you to everyone at Manshoory Law Group!

(insert greatest compliment for a lawyer here)

Posted by

Without getting into details, I needed an attorney and contacted several law firms that were in my area. Mr. Manshoory had personally called me back with a great turnaround time. He took the time to discuss my concerns and his approach in dealing with my issue. I was impressed by his knowledge, professionalism and, most importanly, his honesty. His fees were very reasonable as well. Long story short, he took care of all my legal problems. I am definitely recommending Mr. Manshoory to any and all who are seeking someone to fight for them in court. If I were to ever get into trouble again, I will definitely look to have Manshoory Law Group in my corner!

Best petty theft lawyer

Posted by

I had a complicated shoplifting case, before hiring Mr. Shaheen, I hired the wrong lawyer, Fred de la Pena, he did nothing to me, then I hired Shaheen two days right before the court date, I wish I hired Shaheen from the very beginning, he saved me the embarrassment and the trips to the court, he got me a dismissal order from the first court date, I served community service and went to rehab class for one day, Shaheen got my case dismissed, each penny I paid him was worth it.. Lawyer Shaheen is the best lawyer you would hire, don’t hesitate and if you do hire him, remember me in your prayers .. I’m sure you will be thankful to have taken my advice Best of luck anyone

Expungement

Posted by

Shaheen made everything smooth as possible for me. He contacted me right away when I was 1st looking for information on expunge for my record. I was busy with certain things I had to take care of before I could move on with my expungement but he was very upfront and also gave me option that where helpful and I should of taken him up on the offer but he heard me out and waited for me to do my thing. He followed up on me and finally I had the means to meet up with him and get things going and he was strait forward and got things done. Sure wish I would have meet him from the beginning of my troubles. I am sure he would of got things right for me. Anyhow if your in need of a lawyer give him a call I am sure you won't regret it.
