THE BEST IN THE GAME ( SHEIDA SHOALEHVAR)

I cannot say enough good things about Sheida Shoalehvar and her team. About two years ago, I found myself facing a serious criminal case that completely changed my life. I had lost government-issued licenses that prevented me from working, and I honestly didn’t know what my future was going to loo...k like. When I first met Sheida, she reassured me that she would take care of me and fight to get me the best possible outcome. At the time, I was a little doubtful because of how serious my situation was. She asked me to complete certain classes and explained that doing so was not an admission of guilt, but rather part of a mitigation package she was putting together to strengthen my case. Sheida fought for me every step of the way. We went back to court time after time, dealt with three different DAs, and she never gave up. Ultimately, she was able to get my charge reduced and eventually DISMISSED. But what makes Sheida special goes beyond what she did for me. I have referred several people to her over the years, and I have heard nothing but positive results. She and her team have also continued to check in on me over time, always treating me with genuine care, love, and respect. Sheida also helped my wife get her record completely cleaned up. When your freedom, career, family, and future are on the line, having an attorney you can truly trust means everything. If there is one attorney I would trust with my eyes closed, it is Sheida Shoalehvar. Sheida, thank you again for everything you and your team have done for me and my family. I will never forget it! — D. from Riverside

Dedicated attorney who stood by my side

She is a professional attorney that explained to me what to expect and how to act/behave when I entered the court room. Although I never entered the court room and had a felony charge which was later dismissed on diversion over the phone I still want to say that having her on my side to represent me ...made me feel confident about my situation especially since it was my first experience dealing with a legal issue. Overall I would definitely recommend her services to anyone facing legal challenges who wants/needs an attorney they can trust to protect their interests.

Great Attorney, Great Team, Great Opportunities

Hello everyone! I was a client of Sheida’s for the past month, since August 15th. Her, and her team were a great help for myself, and my family during a difficult time. Never have been in legal trouble before, as well as my family never has. We essentially did not know what to do. My family and I wer...e lost. Thank god, Sheida’s mail came into my mailbox. Once I started working with Sheida, her assistant, Kat, explained me the entire process of my legal situation and how it would be best handled. Everything was clear and their communication was on point! After working for a month, Sheida and her team took the necessary steps in helping my situation. Now I’m record free thanks to them! Sheida and her team’s expertise is what I’d recommend in times of legal trouble!

A great law practice!

Worked with the DA to drop my charges by going having me go through a behavioral therapy regiment. Not cheap but the alternative would have been worse.

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."
