Firearms Charge

I unintentionally carried a loaded hand gun into the LAX TSA security screening area and the weapon was sub sequentially found in my carry on bag. I was arrested and charged with a felony. Sheida was able to quickly have the charge reduced to a misdemeanor before the arraignment. Sheida negotiated a... mitigation plan with the City Attorney and I pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor trespassing. The weapons charge was dismissed and I paid a small fine and have to serve community service. The record of misdemeanor trespassing is relative insignificant in contrast to the firearms charge. LA County is not the place to face firearms charges, this plea agreement is the most lenient ever awarded for this charge from an LA court. Thanks Sheida,

Thank you

Never finding myself in this type of situation, I wasn't sure of how to go about it. I'm so glad Sheida took my case, I definitely know I went with the right lawyer for my type of case. Sheida is very thorough and very professional.

With me all the way.

I sought the legal services of attorney Sheida Shoalehvar for a misdemeanor charge. She provided me sound advice that made me feel comfortable & confident of the chance of a positive outcome. She delivered and charges were never filed. I highly recommend this effective & efficient professional!

***HIGHLY RECOMMEND***

I was very pleased wi the services of Sheida. She’s just a phone call/text away and she was always there to answer my call if I needed her. Super professional! She helped me get my case dismissed and I didn’t have to do anything besides show up the very last day to get my case dismissed in front of ...the judge. Hopefully I never run into legal troubles again, but if I do, I know she’ll always be there. I highly recommend!!!!!

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Shoalehvar is a fabulous advocate for her clients. She has worked out some miracles for her clients, even full dismissals. Her dismissal percentage is outstanding. I learned a great deal from her. She always does her best to make an incredibly positive impact on a client’s case as long as the client can hold up their end of the deal."
