About David
Biography
Highly experienced, focusing on elder abuse, dependent adult abuse and personal injury law. From providing pre-litigation counsel to winning intense jury trials, I have worked closely and effectively with my clients to fight for their best interests. As a former criminal prosecutor in Los Angeles, I have handled hundreds of cases in court. Given this experience, I know how to present my cases in a light most favorable to a judge and jury. I have also worked for some of the greatest civil litigation law firms in the nation and handled many high profile cases.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Prior to attending law school, I attended the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), and completed a bachelor's degree in History, with honors. I then attended Loyola Law School in Los Angeles where I received my juris doctor and achieved certifications for concentrating in both civil litigation and criminal justice.

This is your guy. Very patient and professional
I highly recommend David Pourshalimi as your next attorney. I needed representation for a renters insurance claim.

Highly recommend
I retained David for my felony domestic violence. He was very professional and got me out of jail 2 days after I was arrested which saved my family $10,000 they were about to use bail me out the night before.
