About Golnar

In addition to being licensed in all courts of the State of California, I am also licensed in the following Federal courts: United States District Court Central District of California, United States District Court Southern District of California, and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

I have worked both as a litigator and transactional lawyer for some of the largest firms in the country. Furthermore, I have served as General Counsel, Legal Director, and Assistant Vice President to Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 Companies, as well as corporate conglomerates.

As a result of academic excellence in law school, I served as not only a member of the Whittier Law Review, but also as the Solicitations Editor. I received my Juris Doctorate Cum Laude. In addition to being on the Honor Roll and Dean's List, I also received the Dean's Citation Award and served as President of the Whittier International Law Society.

I got myself into a very bad situation which had the potential to haunt me for the rest of my life. From the moment I met Golnar I felt secure. Not only did Golnar take care of the matter for me, but she did it without judgment. She is honest, caring and beautiful inside and out. I am forever in her debt. She is a gem.

Ms Sargeant helped me and my wife out of a collections law suit. She is probably one of the best lawyers I have ever had representing me and my family. She helped us out of a jam and was able to nogotiate for better terms at a more affordable price. I challenge anyone to find fault with her work ethics.
