I have over 15 years of experience in the legal field, serving as a Deputy District Attorney, Deputy Public Defender, and General Practitioner I have demonstrated a strong commitment to public service and serving clients of a diverse socio-economic background.

I have represented clients in many levels of involvement in the criminal justice system. I have overseen cases in the trial stage, where I have had the responsibility to serve as First Chair in multiple jury trials. The cases I have tried have ranged from misdemeanors to serious felonies, juvenile dependency and delinquency cases.

I have handled a range of cases, from family law, landlord tenant disputes, consumer protection, and estate planning, from commencement to completion of trial.

In all of my previous positions, I have developed innovative ways to build on creative ideas that lead to practical solutions and resolutions in cases.

Wow. Just wow. I never imagined finding such an amazing attorney and person. Layli actually is concerned for you and your case. it was very nerve racking looking for a lawyer as it was. All the reviews about her are 100% accurate. She was always keeping me up to date and she was so easy to get a hold of when I had questions. I literally do not have enough words to express how great she is.

Best of the best!

I had been to many lawyers before meeting with Layli at Oriole. We found her to be very approachable and explained everything to me every step of the way. Layli helped me get my green card and was patient with me through the long process.

I highly recommend Layli!

I hires Layli on recommendation for matters pertaining to immigration law to assist me in getting work visas for my family members abroad. She is not only very caring but persistent and excellent at what she does. She is clear, takes the time to fully explain everything, and make you feel very confident in her abilities. I highly recommend Layli for your immigration legal services and more.

Wonderful lawyer!

I can not recommend Layli highly enough. I was in such a dark place when my daughter was arrested. Layli was patient, caring, very professional but tough! I was dreading going to court, but in the end we didn't have to. She sorted everything out for us. I can't thank her enough.

Posted by Carlos | January 12, 2018

Great lawyer

Layli helped me get my permanent residence in the United States. I highly recommend her. Very smart.

Posted by Christina | January 10, 2018

Great lawyer who really cares!

Layli cares so much about anyone who calls her. From the time you first talk to her on the phone, you feel like your problem is easier to tackle. If I ever have to be in front of a judge for my legal problem, she'll be the first one I call.

Posted by Conrad | January 9, 2018

Really knows her stuff

I hired Layli and I am very happy that I did. She really understands family law and how to workout a settlement agreement that benefits all parties. Recommended!

excellent service and very knowledgeable in her field

Mrs. Caborn always took the time to answer my phone calls. Very knowledgeable in her field and guided me to get my questions answered

Posted by Stephanie | January 9, 2018

The BEST there is. Cannot say enough about Layli.

She is simply the best out there, and not only is the best at what she does, she is also the most compassionate, and will work fiercely and tirelessly to help you out. My situation was possibly one of the most difficult to go through, and she was my fiercest advocate and protector, and I just cannot express how much she helped me put things in perspective, and make the best possible decisions for my and my kids. She is extremely knowledgeable, guides you with 100% conviction, and will always be available to answer your questions the entire way. I am forever grateful to Layli for everything she has done for me and my family.

Endorse Layli

Elliot Silver

Family Attorney | Jan 02
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Layli is one of the best attorneys practicing in the Bay Area. She is always prepared, knows the law, and is an absolute firecracker in court. She fights for her clients and never backs down from opposing counsel or a nasty judge. I would hire her without hesitation."

Jenifer Frudden

Child custody Attorney | Oct 14
Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Our firm worked with Layli on a difficult child custody matter. She was professional throughout and was able to keep the child's best interest at heart even when things got difficult. I wish all family law attorneys could see the big picture as well as Layli does."
