Fantastic and Dedicated Lawyer!

It is my great pleasure to highly recommend Deborah Eshaghian. When my district first put me on temporary reassignment from the classroom, I was offered a chance to sign the documents to resign and retire from the district or face suspension and possibly face being terminated. Being anxious, I felt... great pressure to sign the documents to make everything go away. I did not feel confident that my union would direct me appropriately. I spoke to a lawyer who represented other teachers in my union and received valuable information on how to proceed with my case. I wanted to shop around so I then talked to Deborah on the phone. She told me I did not have to sign any documents from the district even though I felt the pressure to do so. The passion in how she expressed this had a very calming effect on me, because it was something I didn't know, and probably what a lot of other teachers don't know. I was very impressed with her knowledge of dealing with the district. She provided me with all the information that I never would have known from my union or anyone at my school. She was able to alleviate my fears, and she gave me the confidence to contest the dismissal. I decided to retain Deborah as my attorney to take my case against the district. This was the best decision I made. Deborah worked diligently and passionately to resolve my issues with my district. She kept in touch with me throughout the process and if I had any questions, she would contact me as soon as she could--even if it was after her normal hours. Throughout the process she directed me through the steps I had to do and she told me what to expect so there were no surprises. My case was eventually resolved with the district, and I was very pleased with the resolution Deborah worked out for me. Deborah also worked with me to resolve my review with the Commission on Teaching Credential. That, too, I was very pleased with the outcome because of her help. Any teacher who needs legal help should strongly consider hiring Deborah. She has a strong desire to help teachers who are unaware of all the district dismissal procedures. I felt I made the best decision not to seek legal help from a lawyer who represented union teachers. I knew I would be represented appropriately, but I worried I would not get full attention being one client mixed with many other clients. With Deborah, I knew she would give me the attention I wanted. I am very pleased with the work she has done for me. Again, I highly recommend Deborah Eshaghian. She's a winner.

Teacher

I wanted to first thank God for guiding both Deborah and me through this process. I also like to thank Deborah for guiding and working with me for two years while in a system that harassed me. I’d like to say how impressed I was when the settlement judge assigned to my case said, ‘I should thank my a...ttorney for the fine work that she is doing ‘ and the opposing counsel agreed by saying ‘ yes Deborah really cares about her clients.’ That was validation for me because hiring Deborah to represent me was the best decision I made because I got more than what I imagined. If you are seeking an attorney who advocates and cares about her clients than Deborah should be your choice too.

Forever Grateful

I am very glad that I retained Deborah for my legal issue. I actually had a few issues that she took care of for me. First, she set up my corporation in a timely and efficient manner. I only had to sign one document and she took care of everything else. She also took care of some other personal i...ssues. She talked me through the process step by step. She provided me with the answers and feedback that I needed. She was also always quick to get back to me either by phone or email. She was always available, 24/7. I was so worried about my legal situation, but talking to her alone was comforting. She is extremely efficient. I would recommend her to anyone. I also referred a friend to her, and my friend won't stop thanking me! She is the type of lawyer you want on your side. She is tough and will not back down, even when the odds are against you. Thank you Deborah.. You saved me!!! I am forever grateful for your hard work.
