Attorney
Great Attorney. She was able to completely dismiss my charges and take it off my record on a solicitation for prostitution charge. Would highly recommend. Answered all my questions and would follow through to make sure I completed the classes I needed to take.
"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."
