Incredible Service

I absolutely loved having Sheida's help during this tough time my boyfriend and I were going through. I didn't think my boyfriend would get through this without going to jail or worse. We contacted Sheida and she assured us the case would get dismissed and she would handle everything and there was no...thing to worry about. She also made payment easy with a payment plan that way the cost wasn't so overwhelming. The case took a bit but she and her staff kept in contact and always asked how we were doing. They answered all the questions I had and made me feel better about the case. The case ultimately got dismissed which was amazing news. Sheida achieved what she said she would and kept her word. Overall extremely amazing and so nice to have had her on our team. Incredible woman!!

DUI Case

I had gotten my DUI last year in August of 2017. I began my research and consulted many law firms. When I had received one of Sheida's pamphlet in through the mail I immediately looked her up and gave her a call. We set up an appointment and had a free consultation with her. She was very professional... and layed out my options very clearly. She was very confident that she would be able to bring down my DUI case to something less severe. I had read some good reviews about her and decided to retain her. She was successful and about 6 months later she was able to deliver what she had promised. Sheida and her assistant Brenda were on top of everything and very professional. I would recommend anyone with a DUI charge to the Las offices of Sheida Shoalehvar

Help is an incredible blessing!

Parents never want to hear that their child is in trouble and that the trouble requires an attorney, especially a single mom. The guilt and shame flooded my heart instantly BUT my son has his mom's "Face It Skills" but even I was lost on this one. My son somehow found Sheida and hired her! I'm laughi...ng now but then I was more frustrated with him! What my son walked into was not the son I spent years raising and I was crushed. My son stepped up and did what he had to do in his life, Sheida did what she had to do in the courtroom, and I PRAYED... seriously! I can smile and laugh now because Sheida HELPED US then but she went beyond that... she HELPED give me my son back, the great and wonderful guy that he is, (Lol) the 8lbs and 3oz that I have loved for so long. PLEASE do not give up on your children (or yourself) just ask Sheida and her staff for HELP and I promise the guilt and shame will go away as you Face Your Challenge and you'll smile and laugh again... I promise!

Reckless Driving

I hired Sheida regarding a reckless driving case. Along the case I had few doubts about how was it handled, but either Sheida or Brenda (her assistant) always explained me what wasn't clear. Yesterday I had my hearing, and I'm happy to say that my record is clean as if nothing happened.

Exceptional, caring, and hard working

I can't say enough about Ms. Sheida Shoalehvar. She responded to my initial phone call immediately, which set her apart from the rest.  She felt she could get my possession case dismissed, if I followed through on a few requirements (a certain number of meetings, etc).  I did as told, and she was abl...e to get the case dropped with the City Attorney.   But it did not end there...She has also stayed in touch with me to see how I was doing, because she truly cares about her clients.  I would not hesitate to recommend Sheida Shoalehvar to anyone involved in a legal situation.

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."

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
