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.

"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.
