Worst Attorney I've ever worked with
I would give zero stars if I could. There is literally no way to get a hold of someone in this office. Everytime I need to talk to someone about my case I have to write 10 emails and leave 10 voicemails and wait and delay my case for many days before they even acknowledge my existence. The attorney h...

Absolute worst. Run away!
I wish I could give him -100. He ruined my life for 6 years due to his negligence and incompetency. It will be a 10 paragraph review if I explain everything. This guy is the absolute worst. He does not care about his clients the slightest. After destroying my EB green card case, he told me that I hav...

Proficient immigration lawyer
My EB1A got approved within a week. Working with the Law Offices of Shawn Sedaghat has been a pleasure over the two months of preparation. All of my questions were answered quickly and efficiently.

DISSATISFIED
This is my personal experience and should be taken as the opinion of a dissatisfied customer. It is neither libel, nor slander - it is simply free speech and my honest experience/opinion. I hired Mr. Shawn Sedaghat back in April of 2012. Upon our agreement/contract, he would appear with me to the...
Dear Sergio: While I disagree with the entirety of your statements contained in the review, professional and ethical considerations prohibit me from responding more directly to your statements, despite every fiber of my body wanting to do so! California ethics guidelines for attorneys mandates how I can publicly respond to online criticisms by former clients. See Los Angeles County Bar Association Formal Opinion No. 525 and Bar Association of San Francisco Formal Opinion No. 2014-1. In short, despite your false accusations, a lawyer's duties of loyalty and confidentiality trumps his desire to respond in public. As an attorney, I owe you absolute and complete fidelity. See Flatt v. Sup.Ct. (Daniel) (1994) 9 Cal.4th 275, 289. Even after termination of the representation, a lawyer may not act in a manner that will injure the former client with respect to the matter involved in the prior representation. See Oasis West Realty, LLC v. Goldman (2011) 51 Cal.4th 811, 821 ("an attorney is forbidden to do either of two things after severing [the] relationship with a former client. [The attorney] may not do anything which will injuriously affect [the] former client in any matter in which [the attorney] formerly represented [the client] nor may [the attorney] at any time use against [the] former client knowledge or information acquired by virtue of the previous relationship"), quoting Wutchumna Water Co. v. Bailey (1932) 216 Cal. 564, 573-574. Trust me my friend, I would like nothing more than to tell my side of this story but I swore more than 20 years ago to abide by certain rules, and given these principles, any public response by me to your online critique that undermines your legal matter could run afoul of my duty of loyalty. I just hope you are man enough to come back to this site, and let everyone know loud and clear that you went to the State Bar and I was vindicated.

substantial evidence of persecution on the basis of political opinion that his whistle-blowing opposition to a local official resulted in multi-agency responses that reflected systemic government corruption.
for Asylum purposes the 1 year bar begins after the day of arrival in the U.S.
conviction under section 476 does require knowledge of the fictitious nature of the instrument and therefore is not broader than the federal definition of “offense relating to ․ forgery” on that account.
