With an in-house private investigator and access to expert consultants, her team can act immediately when your freedom is at stake.
Ms. Shoalehvar earned her JD from the Southern California Institute of Law.

I went to Sheilda with one day away from my hearing and no appointment. Sheilda and her team are amazing and knowledgeable. Sheilda was able to reschedule my hearing and close my case with confidence. Sheida goes above and beyond for you. I would recommend her to anyone hands down .

"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."
