Review Shabnam Raiszadeh

A Satisfied Client

Posted by

I was 100% satisfied with my experience. Two of the most notable attributes Shelly offered was the timeliness of information and attention she offered to me as a client. Not once in the process did I feel “out of the loop” or felt that I lacked detail with my case. Emails and phone calls were answered promptly and I always felt she had my best interest in mind throughout the process. Shelly will be my first and only recommendation to my associates who require legal assistance.

Outstanding Representation

Posted by

I received outstanding professional representation from Shelly at all times as she guided me through all the steps in a difficult case (auto accident personal injury: tinnitus). Supportive actions she took included accompanying me to medical and other appointments required by opposing counsel no matter where scheduled. Further, Shelly was always available to thoroughly and promptly answer all of my questions and concerns by phone, and/or in writing. Taken together, all of her actions along with her personable manner gave me the necessary confidence and trust I relied on to go through a most difficult time and process that with her skilled guidance resolved satisfactorily in my favor. I highly recommend Shelly and her firm, Torklaw, to all who need excellent representation in general, and, as in my case, that provides a true understanding of a tinnitus injury.

I would highly recommend Shelly Raiszadeh as a personal injury attorney. I hired her to represent me when I was injured in a motorcycle accident. She always responded to me in a timely manner when I had questions and always kept me informed throughout the entire process. Not only is Ms. Raiszadeh a great attorney, she is also a great person and who genuinely cares about her clients. She worked extremely hard to ensure that I received the best possible outcome from the settlement.

It was an ABSOLUTELY the best choice that I made for Shelly and Torklaw to represent me in my personal injury lawsuit. Shelly was always a phone call or email away. She and Torklaw handled my personal injury case from beginning to end. She and her team at Torklaw made sure I was informed and kept me at easy during this difficult and stressful time. They made sure I was given proper care and recovery. She is highly knowledgeable in law and very professional. I personally want to thank Shelly, Raza and EVERYONE at TORKLAW for a very good outcome on my case and great compensation. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to my family, friends and anyone use their services

Our Lawyer Shelly

Posted by

I hired Shelly to represent us in our wrongful death case. She was patient and professional. Shelly's personal care and empathy during this time of pain was invaluable. Shelly kept us informed on every aspect of our case. She was extremely kind with my 88 year old mother and made her feel at ease during this difficult time. Shelly was instrumental in bringing our case to a satisfactory conclusion via mediation. This was most important since it lessen the impact that a trial would have had on my mother.
