Tough and professional.

Shirin handled both my divorce and child-care custody matters from March 2018 through July 2020 which included multiple court appearances. When interviewing potential lawyers I sort out attorneys with a reputation for being tough and bullish. Shirin meets all those requirements. Throughout the ye...ars I was an emotional and curt client; Shirin always responded to this with kindness and professionalism. My dealings with Shirin were always professional and effective (though never lacking a sense of humor). With regard to billing it is my uneducated belief that Shirin was excellent value for money and in my experience was always fair in financial dealings. I recommend Shirin and GYL law without reservation. I am thankful to both Shirin and her excellent paralegal Sarah Newhouse for there continued support and excellent services.

Highly Recommend Shirin for your Family Law Matter

Shirin represented me in a child custody proceeding and delivered great results. She kept me informed throughout my case and answered all my questions. In court, Shirin was calm and very effective at communicating my feelings and my concerns about my kids. I would highly recommend her to any of my fa...mily and friends who need a family law lawyer.

A Real Lawyer

I have been dealing with my divorce for the last two years, because I thought I could handle it myself. I was very wrong. If someone becomes bitter, the best thing to do is get a lawyer. I finally asked for Shirin Shokrollahi's service in December of 2017, and it was the best think I could have done.... At the time I was just served with a TRO which kept me from seeing my children. Shirin took my case and started working on my issues right away. She was attentive, paid attention to detail (remembered my issues), walked me through court processes and gave me realistic options on the best outcome. By January the TRO was lifted and I was able to see my children again. We are now working on my finalizing my divorce. I would recommend Shirin to anyone who wants to take a divorce seriously. She fought for me, and put my best interest first. Pros: Easy to work with Responds quickly to e-mails Assertive toward opposing party Knowledgeable Realistic & Honest Kind & Respectful Cons: Could be considered expensive All in all, I got what I paid for. I had to spend more than I wanted to but the value received was worth it. Thank you Shirin.

Great lawyer with excellent knowledge

I have had the pleasure of working with Shirin as my lawyer for my child visitation case following some time in jail. Her performance in getting visitation with my children and handling all the cumbersome paper work for the Courts has been phenomenal! She constantly calls or emails with any updates a...nd she is always available when I need her. Her knowledge of the Law is excellent and she has been a true blessing to my family. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
