Honest, Informative and respectful.
Came across Shaheen through the Internet. Talked to a few attorneys and then to Shaheen and he was the only one that didn't guarantee anything and explained to me that nothing can be guaranteed. Most of us want to work with those who guarantee work but once we have them hired, the outcome is the outcome. Shaheen explained that nothing is guaranteed and explained the entire process step by step. Felt comfortable because he didn't lie to gain an advantage. Decided to work with him and he got me the results I wanted, case dismissed. Simple traffic ticket but would have resulted in a suspension of my drivers license because of the points I alresdy have. Thank you for your hard work and your honesty. Meant a lot.

A lawyer who actually cares about his clients...
Since the first time I spoke to Mr. Manshoory he stood out to me from all of the other lawyers I called. He actually took his time to listen to my situation and even made me feel at ease. I know that I can really count on him to help me in my defense. Mr. Manshoory is the definition of an honest, trustworthy lawyer. I'm so glad I came across him and I promise you will be too!!!!

So grateful to Mr Manshoory
Shaheen Manshoory is a lifesaver. An ex made a false domestic violence claim against me, and I was looking at having a permanent restraining order on file because of it. Mr Manshoory and his team supported me from start to finish, gathering all the facts and protecting me from any more of her nonsense. The case was dismissed in my favor today. Totally happy in my experience with Manshoory Law Group.

Case dismissed *hair flip*
Highly recommend! Shaheen was the 3rd lawyer I spoke with, and he was the only one to ease my anxiety and was very humane. I didn't feel like another potential case for him, I felt very guided and taken care of by him and his team. Mukund & Julie were great with handling any questions I had and made sure I was always current with any and all info! As a single mom , I NEEDED to be sure everything was taken care of, and the Manshoory Law Group hit every mark. Thank you, Manshoory Law Group!

amazing law firm
I was really stressed out after calling multiple law firms and they all seemed to have no solution for me but from the first time I called Manshoory Law Group they gave me peace of mind knowing there could be things done around my case to avoid jail time. They always kept me updated with my case and I had a direct contact with my lawyer to ease my mind when ever I started to stress out.

Thank you
A special thank you to Manshoory Law Group. I was hesitant because I thought my case was unbeatable. They proved me wrong. Not only were they successful, but they really put in effort to follow up with me on the cases progress. They were extremely informative, compassionate and attentive. Every week I would get a text or a phone call just letting me know how things were going and how I was doing. I give a thousand stars to this outstanding team and would recommend them to anyone that thinks there is no hope.

Pleased
Manshoory is a reliable and efficient law group. I had a record for over 20 yrs and was nervous about it for years and all I wanted to do was get it expunged from my records. I found Manshoory Law group on Google and reached out. I explained my situation and they immediately reassured me that they could help and within no time all the information was found with little given from me but the basics. They represented my case without me having to be present. The case was successfully expunged in a timely manner. I am super grateful and relieved. I would recommend Shaheen Manshoory Law Group any day to anyone looking for real speedy help. Thanks again, you rock!

Amazing Lawyer and Team!
Everyone at this firm is amazing, responsive, reliable, friendly, and helpful! I was worried about a case that should have never happened. They made it possible that I never even had to go to court and they worked hard for me to have the case dropped and my freedom returned quickly and easily! I would recommend them to anyone going though a hard time!! They will do everything to win the case for you! So thank for all of them!

A Pro. Clear. Simple, direct and honest. Mr Manshoory and his team go above and beyond in their scope to see that your case be given the full breadth in terms of depth, attention to details and consideration of a case matter. My experience with Mr Manshoory was exceptional. No frills, no non-sense - and straight talk and straight to the point. His demeanor before the court, the people in representing me was one that I knew I had the right lawyer. My case was identified, addressed and resolved quickly and efficiently. Mr Manshoory is a pro, clear - simple, direct, and honest. Wait... I just said that? Amen. If your considering Manshoory Law Group.... without a doubt, your in good hands...

great job!
I recently had a legal case for assault, and I decided to hire Manshoory Law Group, and I couldn't be more satisfied with their services. the team was incredibly knowledgeable and professional, and they kept me informed throughout the entire process. Manshoory himself and the staff took the time to understand my case thoroughly and presented it with expertise, which resulted in a successful outcome. they remained compassionate and dedicated and kept me informed about the progress of my case, and they treated me with sincere concern, which made me feel heard and supported. Overall, I had an excellent experience working with ManshooryLaw Group, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an excellent legal representative. Their skills and knowledge were invaluable to my case, and I couldn't have asked for better results. Thank you!

Your search for an attorney ends here.
If you're looking for an attorney and don't know if the review's are legit or if the page of the attorney you are looking at has you wondering "are they good?" then look no more. I had a complicated case where I had spoke to other counsel and it felt as if I was speaking to someone who just wanted to get paid and do the minimum. I got to a point where I had set in my mind that the worst was going to come true. When I called their office, I got huge sense of relief and appreciated the bluntness of Mr. Manshoory. When others looked at me as if I was lying, Mr. Manshoory and his team did not, they understood my situation and trusted me. With the Manshoory Law Group, there were "check up" calls from his team to see how I was doing (mental checks to keep you from worrying), to obtain updates, etc. At court, I had one counsel from the office and Mr. Manshoory himself. Let me tell you that not only did they demand respect when walking into a room, they were professional and "aggressive" when it came to negotiations, settlements, etc. The saying "You get what you paid for" is what continuously popped in my mind. You will get a no BS review of your case, will be well represented, reassured and will be honestly be treated with respect. I have recommended the office to others and they have nothing bad to say. Stop looking around, pay for the representation that you want and need and have the team make things happen for you.

Brilliant Criminal Defense Lawyer
Manshoory Law Firm is by far the best legal help you can get against your DUI charge. From top notch service, legal advise, to getting your charges dropped & getting the absolute best outcome possible!! We won my case! I was being charged for Second time DUI, they dropped it to a second wet reckless driving. Literally did the IMPOSSIBLE for me. (I had High BAC) No jail time, no ankle bracelet, my job was on the line and I got to keep my job as well as getting another chance to get my life in order. I cannot thank them enough! Truly a miracle! Thank God for you guys. I spent quite a lot of time researching online to hire the best. After spending a couple of days of researching and making calls, the team over at Manshoory law firm truly made a connection with me, they truly showed they care and were realistic as far as what could be done. I really appreciated their honesty and when they walked me through the process, I knew I was making the right decision. They have a whole team that is always in contact and guiding you throughout the process. Julie was great, she always made sure I had the documents needed to help the case. Their finance department is also great, they work with you as far as payments. Everyone at their office is pleasant to talk to and easy to work with. Shaheem and Armina worked my case, they are both amazing, kind and extremely knowledgeable. They went to court for me every single time, I work very long hours so this was very helpful! They would call me with updates, explained throughly how court went and what steps we needed to take in order to take action. Both Shaheem and Armina made me feel secured, they were very aggressive, they used tactics my previous lawyer did not use. After a few court battles it seemed there was no hope for me and the prosecutor said there was no way for me to be able to get another wet reckless. All because of me, and the logistics of my case but that did not stopped them, they did no give up! Armina kept reaching out to the prosecutor, she was going back and forward for a whole week!! Let me tell you; these are the kind of lawyers who you need fighting your battles, this is the type of lawyer you need in your corner. I remember this day, it seemed all hope was lost, for a second I was going to loose my job, stability, get second time DUI, jail time all the bad stuff you do not want in your life. However, Armina called with some great news, she had been working all morning and she was able to work out a deal with prosecutor and finally got me a second wet which in my case was impossible!! They got me the absolute best outcome, exactly what we wanted! This is another success story!!! I am proof that they are the best, they got the results we all wanted! I am EXTREMELY happy. To say the least I have learned my lesson, my first wet I was young,reckless and barely remember anything but this one hurt, I felt the pain for a second. I am truly blessed, this is definitely life changing for me and as of now I am currently living life sober. I know it sounds cliche but do not drink and drive, do not even take the chance. If you did, it is not too late, give them a call! They will help you like they did me. Once again, thank you Shaheem, thank you Armina and thank God for Manshoory law firm! I will be staying out of trouble!

Expungement Success
First and for most I would like to thank Manshoory Law Group for their tremendous work with my case. I would like to emphasize the my case part. Everyone’s story is different and every outcome is different. In my situation I was fortunate enough to find the perfect law group (I did my research prior to choosing Manshoory LG). As I write this review there are so many emotions going through my mind. The WHAT IFS and WHAT COULD’VE BEEN. Manshoory LG helped expunge my record as a first time offender. From the beginning they were persistent and detailed. Communication every step of the way. I was assisted by 3-4 staff members including the main man himself. And I can safely say the experience did not disappoint. I am glad I received that follow up call from Manshoory LG. I was on the fence about doing this process. Manshoory LG gave me the confidence to move forward and I am happy to say because of Manshoory LG my record has been expunged. Truly all bases were covered and I am happy to close this chapter in my life. Thank you Manshoory Law Group for the service you provide. It will never be forgotten. Highly recommend if you are ever in need of legal services.
