The Best Experience I've Had With a Lawyer

I would like to note a few important things about Shireen Sachdev, my lawyer who represented me for my case. Now let me start off by saying nobody wants to partake in the the legal mess that we as people unfortunately get into sometimes. All i know is it happens to the best of us, and when it happens..., you want the best representation you can get. Shireen superseded those expectations, and went absolutely above and beyond in terms of my complicated case i was involved in. This woman single handedly defied all odds and i can without a doubt exclaim that Shireen completely SAVED my future and my name. She assured my nervousness and made this entire ordeal as painless as it could have been. She works with great care and phenomenal diligence. She is organized, strategical, and a literal asset to have for whatever situation you may be in. I remember walking into court the first day with not one but TWO felonies pending i remember the overhanging fear until i met Shireen and explained my case, 8 months later, charges DISMISSED. A case working out like that is almost unheard of. That alone should give anyone enough confidence to give her a call and see how she can help you!! She is one of the best if not GREATEST lawyers to represent you or at the very least guide you in the right direction.

Helped me with my Dependency Case

She's by far the most understanding attorney I've come acrossed. She was always there to answer any questions and concerns I may have, even while on her vacation. My case dragged on for so long due to the courts schedule issues. However, she's never left me in the dark. The outcome was worth the wait.... Lastly, she'll work with you concerning costs. I don't regret hiring her and would recommend her to anyone out there whom is looking for a dependency attorney.

Outstanding Service and Genuine Care

I recently went through a minor criminal hiccup and, after interviewing numerous attorneys, Shireen was the only one to show actual, genuine, care in assisting me through my ordeal. Her guidance and outstanding service assisted me in attaining the best possible outcome I could have asked for and I wo...uld recommend her to anyone facing a few legal bumps in the road! She was absolutely phenomenal, extremely personable, genuinely concerned, and fought for me the entire to achieve an outstanding outcome. Thank you, Shireen. Couldn't have made it through it everything without your help. You have no idea how appreciative I am!

Excellent experience

I found Mrs. Sachdev to be very professional, helpful, and courteous during one of the most stressful times of my life. Never once did I feel that she was not a straight shooter or a fair player, which is very important to me as a father. I found Shireen to be strong when I needed good advice and whe...n I was so exhausted by the process, her perseverance led us to a fair and honest verdict. Custody battles can be brutal, but if it needs to come to that, I would definitely recommend the services of Shireen Sachdev. Thank you again.

Great Lawyer - Helped My Son Last Minute

My son received his first misdemeanor charge, but I was still concerned what the consequences would be. We happened to run into her at the courthouse and she offered to help if we needed it. I reached out to her and accepted the help and she re-arranged her schedule to represent him on his court date.... I'm very thankful for her support and knowledge with my son's situation, which she was able to clear him of all charges! Thank you sincerely, Shireen!
