Sharon is the Best

I had just received my second DUI and was facing jail time. I found Sharon on Yelp and I’m glad I did, she was able to get the jail time waived. If you or somebody you know need an Attorney who will fight for you then look no further then Sharon.

Very Helpful and Diligent.

I had an issue where I was charged with a misdemenor in LA. I retained Mrs. Sharon Babakhan to represent me. She did a wonderful job. Aspects of my case were very difficult. She was able to negotiate with the prosecution to get a Diversion in my situation. She runs her business like a clock, provided... answers to all my questions and was always very sincere and honest. I had spoken to other attorneys before I hired Mrs Babakhan through my legal sheild membership. All those other attorneys could not hold a candle to Mrs Babakhan. They wanted more money and seemed less dedicated. In hind site, its been a year after she negotiated my plea agreement and I have served my probation and community labor. The case has been dismissed. I am working full time, and my life is back on track. I owe a dept of graditude to Mrs. Babakhan for her work on my case. She did an excellent job.

A very good and professional lawyer :) Highly recommended :)

Hi I would like to write a review about Mrs. Sharon Babakhan. I did a shoplifting from a store. They stopped me; a cop came and gave me a ticket to go to court without custody in jail. It was my biggest mistake in my life. I was so depressed and felt ashamed of my self ... I don't know how I did ...that... I started to look for a lawyer to get out from this problem with the best outcome. (Of course I'll be punished but just to have the least possible). I wrote my story in details and sent it by e-mail to many lawyers to see what my options are. Some of them replayed me by giving me their offices numbers to get a consultation. The only one who answered all my detailed questions in e-mail was Mrs. Babakhan. Her response was very special comparing to the other lawyers. Her answers were so determined and professional. That e-mail gave me an impression about how serious she is taking her client's case. I called her and she gave me a consultation where she explained to me all the possibilities that could happen in my court day. When we discussed about the charges; she asked for a very reasonable and logical charge which added more to how professional she is. She started to represent me in court and she struggled with the DA to get me out of this trouble. They didn't agree to reduce my shoplifting from a misdemeanor to an infraction due to the high money amount of the things stolen. She didn't give up and she saw the DA supervisor asking her if the reduction is possible. The supervisor refused also. Even she didn't give up, she tried to call the retail store office asking them for a settlement by paying a "civil compromise charges", but unfortunately they refused as well for the same reason that the DA and DA supervisor refused for. During that time she was struggling also to postpone the court day as much as possible, and she was able to do so. I wasn't surprised about the negative answers from the DA, DA supervisor and the Retail Store Office, because she wasn't exaggerating about the outcome as some layers do sometimes, and after affording them the surprises come. She was so logical and realistic in parallel with her hard working in my case as I mentioned above. In my last court day where I had to appear in court and plead guilty; she asked the DA to reduce my probation time and to remove the theft classes that usually we have to do in such case. which they fortunately agree. She didn't give up until the last minute. I'm so thankful for her effort and all the time that she gave me. Also that she has a very kind and friendly personality so she was always smiling and communicating with me in a very good way by encouraging me to get out from this trouble. She is very recommended in my opinion.

Review for Sharon Babakhan

Ms. Babakhan was extremely helpful in responding and listening to my situation, and took a lot of time speaking with me on the phone to help determine the best course of action. She was always available and returned my calls and emails promptly. She was able to help resolve my legal issue through her... extensive network and experience as not only a former prosecutier but as a criminal defense lawyer. I will recommend Ms. Babakhan to anyone I know that is in need of criminal defense.
