I cannot say enough good things about Sheida Shoalehvar and her team…read more About two years ago, I found myself facing a serious criminal case that completely changed my life. I had lost government-issued licenses that prevented me from working, and I honestly didn't know what my future was going to look like. When I first met Sheida, she reassured me that she would take care of me and fight to get me the best possible outcome. At the time, I was a little doubtful because of how serious my situation was. She asked me to complete certain classes and explained that doing so was not an admission of guilt, but rather part of a mitigation package she was putting together to strengthen my case. Sheida fought for me every step of the way. We went back to court time after time, dealt with three different DAs, and she never gave up. Ultimately, she was able to get my charge reduced and eventually DISMISSED. But what makes Sheida special goes beyond what she did for me. I have referred several people to her over the years, and I have heard nothing but positive results. She and her team have also continued to check in on me over time, always treating me with genuine care, love, and respect. Sheida also helped my wife get her record completely cleaned up. When your freedom, career, family, and future are on the line, having an attorney you can truly trust means everything. If there is one attorney I would trust with my eyes closed, it is Sheida Shoalehvar. Sheida, thank you again for everything you and your team have done for me and my family. I will never forget it! -- D. from Riverside

I honestly wish Sheida would be D.A. or run for office or something. I had erased my yelp from 6…read moreyears ago because I was embarrassed and ashamed of my criminal record. I went to jail three times for a misdemeanor each time. It was mortifying. I had severe anxiety and panic attacks years after the experience. Regardless of my personal issues, I was so fortunate that Sheida represented me. She negotiated with the district attorney to meet at her office instead of the courtroom and the negotiation led to dropping all charges. Currently, I am attending USC grad school to get my MSW in social work. I keep thinking back to this person who made it possible.

I don't write many reviews, but after the outcome of my case, I felt David Russomanno deserved one…read more I am an attorney myself, so I am extremely particular about who I trust to represent me. This was also not an ordinary legal matter. It was a highly contested dual restraining order case with significant personal and professional consequences for me, and the outcome was extremely important. I was the person who originally filed for a restraining order. After my petition was filed, the other party filed a competing restraining order request against me. In my view, the other petition essentially took many of the issues and allegations I had raised, mirrored them back against me, and created a false and misleading narrative portraying me as the wrongdoer. Suddenly, I wasn't just pursuing my own restraining order--I also had to defend myself against serious allegations that I knew were not true. Being an attorney didn't make that easier. In some ways, it made it more difficult. When someone is making false statements about you and your reputation and career are potentially at stake, your instinct is to respond to everything and immediately correct every misrepresentation. This is where David's representation really made a difference. From the beginning, David had a strategy and a plan. He understood that we couldn't simply react to every accusation the other side made. We needed to take control of the narrative, establish the chronology of what actually happened, identify the inconsistencies in the competing petition, organize the evidence, and present the complete story to the court. As a lawyer myself, there were certainly times when I had my own ideas about how we should respond or what we should emphasize. But I also recognized that I was personally invested in the case and needed someone who could remain objective. I trusted David's judgment, followed his guidance, and allowed him to execute the strategy we had developed. That trust paid off. When it came time for the hearing, we were prepared. David was able to cut through what could easily have become a confusing "he said/she said" situation involving two competing restraining order petitions. David was able to join the cases before the first hearing date. Then at the hearing he first succeeded in modifying the other party's temporary orders by presenting the evidence and sequence of events in a way that allowed the court to understand what had actually occurred and see through the false narrative being presented against me. After David modified the temporary order the other party wanted a 2nd call to speak to David and he persuaded the party to drop their restraining order. Looking back, I have an even greater appreciation for David's strategy. He wasn't concerned with winning every small argument or reacting emotionally to every allegation. He was thinking several steps ahead and positioning the case so that when it mattered most--in front of the judge--we were ready. As a fellow attorney, I understand the difference between simply knowing the law and knowing how to strategically litigate a difficult case. When you're personally involved, however, maintaining that same objectivity becomes incredibly difficult. David provided that objectivity while also understanding just how important the outcome was to me. This case had enormous personal and professional importance to me. I put my trust in David Russomanno's judgment, preparation, and strategy, and he delivered the result we were working toward. As both a client and a fellow attorney, I highly recommend David. If you are dealing with a complicated or highly contested restraining order matter--particularly one involving competing allegations--you want someone who can look beyond the accusations, focus on the evidence, develop a strategy, and effectively present the true story to the court. That's exactly what David did for me.

I hired David after a California domestic violence restraining order petition was filed against me…read moreby a family member. I live out of state, had never been in this type of situation before, and was terrified--not only because of the court process, but because of the possible professional consequences if the case went badly. The first law firm I hired reviewed the facts and essentially concluded that I was probably going to lose. I then found David, and from the very first conversation, it was clear he saw the case differently. He did not minimize the situation or sugarcoat anything, but he immediately understood that there was more going on than what appeared on paper. He had a command of the procedural issues, the courtroom dynamics, and the strategy in a way that gave me confidence when I had almost none left. What stood out most was that David was not just technically excellent--he was creative, strategic, responsive, and genuinely caring. He understood my state of mind, took my fears seriously, and explained his plan in a way that made me feel protected rather than judged. He was always available when I needed him and treated the case with urgency and humanity. In the end, my mother and I did not even have to fly to California or appear remotely. David appeared for us, spoke directly with the other side at court, and by the time the matter resumed, the petitions against both of us were dropped. That result was an enormous relief. I went from believing I was about to lose everything to walking away with the case dismissed. David is the kind of lawyer people hope exists when they are scared and overwhelmed--the kind of lawyer you see in movies but do not expect to find in real life. I am incredibly grateful that I called him and trusted him.
