Ms. Shoalehvar earned her JD from the Southern California Institute of Law. She is admitted to practice in all California State Courts, the U.S. District Court (Central District of California), and the U.S. Court of Appeals.

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.
"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."
