Compassionate, knowledgeable, great advocate.

Shawn has been nothing short of amazing. From the moment I first spoke to him during an uncertain time, I felt at ease and knew that I had made the right call. He was confident that he could help with my DUI charge and fortunately, he was right. He communicates everything very thoroughly, always keep...s me informed of what's going on and responds quickly when I reach out to him. Over the next year and a half I will have many more interactions with Shawn related to my case and I am just so grateful I found him. During one instance, I let him know I was unhappy with one specific thing and he corrected it right away, did not get defensive, and just said "how can I fix it". He clearly has a passion for his clients and you will feel this way as well when you meet him. I am also very happy with the projected outcome of my case and wouldn't hesitate to hire him should I ever have another legal reason to in the future.

Shawn is best out there!

I called Shawn after being arrested for DUI and he met with me same-day, walked me through every step of the process and checked in with me regularly between the initial hearing and the trial date. He took care of the DMV actions on my behalf and sent screenshots of the submitted documents so I knew ...they were completed. When I was feeling nervous a few days before the trial, he talked about my concerns and on the date the outcome was far better than I ever expected. Not only did he get my DUI school minimized, he got my jail time / work release waived as well - both things I could not do on my own. His customer service even while attending to multiple clients in court and ability to make me feel like I’m in good hands every step of the way was worth every penny.

Best decision I made

When you have found that you've made a wrong decision and need to find legal representation, Shawn is the best decision you could make. I went to him facing down a DUI and thanks to his legal skills and maneuvering; he got it down to a wet reckless and I couldn't be more pleased with the result. When... it comes to hiring the best man for the job, Shawn is that man.

Great lawyer and person

Shawn helped me out 12 years ago with ease, comfort and great results and now after such a long time still remembers me and my simple case which was really helpful because court didnt have a record of my dismissal which I needed for my immigration application...

Peace of mind

I hired Shawn after my son’s devastating motorcycle accident. I was in complete shock, and had no idea on what my next best course of action would be. After searching for every DUI lawyer I could come across, I was then referred to Shawn by a close friend of mine (whom he succeeded in helping as well...). I chose Shawn to represent my son, who at the time was facing very serious DUI charges. This choice has led to becoming one of the absolute best decisions I have made. From my first meeting with Shawn, he explained in detail what steps I needed to take, this whole process and next steps. Shawn was completely detailed and truly helped to comfort me in this time of great stress. He was so specific in explaining what my son was facing, next courses of action and what he needed from us in order to complete this process. No matter how many times I reached out to Shawn over the simplest of matters, he would always be available and would respond promptly to address any and all questions I had. As nerve wrecking as this process was, Shawn’s professionalism, flexibility, knowledge of the law and sense of urgency truly helped to put me at ease. Although there are never any guarantees with court matters, I was fortunate enough to have hired Shawn and extremely thrilled once the case was dismissed. My great and positive experience with Shawn representing my son, led to him becoming my first and ONLY option when it came time to find a representative for my own DUI case. Needless to say, my own case also turned out in the absolute best way possible! One can say I’m lucky, but you cannot dismiss Shawn’s professionalism and expertise in his field. He is the common denominator in all 3 of our cases. That is no coincidence. Hopefully I will never need to employ Shawn’s services again, but in the event that I or anyone else I know does, Shawn Salehieh will be my only option and recommendation. Thank you Shawn, for all you have done. I truly cannot thank you enough.
