Superb

She's tremendously great and was able to assist me with the case. She explained the process and what I had to do, with such precise and clarity. Her team is wonderful as well.

A confident and competent attorney

I was been wrongfully charged with a misdemeanor case against me. When my wife and I met with Sheida she was very reassuring to us knowing how to handle the case and all the processes involved. Sheida did everything she said she would and after showing the DA there was no evidence against me, nor ...anyone wanting to press charges against me, the DA agreed not to file the case and I never even had to go to court. I'm so grateful to the work Sheida and her investigator has done to get the case removed and clear me from any record.

Firearms Charge

I unintentionally carried a loaded hand gun into the LAX TSA security screening area and the weapon was sub sequentially found in my carry on bag. I was arrested and charged with a felony. Sheida was able to quickly have the charge reduced to a misdemeanor before the arraignment. Sheida negotiated a... mitigation plan with the City Attorney and I pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor trespassing. The weapons charge was dismissed and I paid a small fine and have to serve community service. The record of misdemeanor trespassing is relative insignificant in contrast to the firearms charge. LA County is not the place to face firearms charges, this plea agreement is the most lenient ever awarded for this charge from an LA court. Thanks Sheida,

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.

Mr.Thankful and Grateful

Sheida: 1. Got a Resisting/Obstruction charge 148 brought down to a conditional dismissal with Community Service and Follow-On Care with my MD. If mental health challenges bring you to a crossroads in life, maybe its time to ask for help. I finally did! And what seemed like a very damning experi...ence ended up being beneficial. Diversion Programs are out there and available and if you are serious the court will listen BUT you need a strong voice to advocate your position - that Strong Voice is Ms. Shoalehvar!

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."
