Ms. Shoalehvar worked in the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office from 2007-2009. While working in the District Attorney’s office, Ms Shoalehvar learned how to evaluate the Prosecution’s case; both the strengths and weaknesses. This experience has allowed her to aggressively defend her client’s before they go to court, instead of waiting for the prosecutor to initiate the case. She has been successful on numerous occasions in resolving the matter before any charges are filed by having the charges rejected or mitigated. Having a working relationship with the police is also the added advantage that her client’s seek. Ms. Shoalehvar has made many long lasting professional relationships with the police and prosecutors, which can help change the outcome the outcome of a case before its filed by those who investigate the case.

Einhorn, Federal Court of Appeal, Immigration Court, Los Angeles, CA, where she conducted legal research and analysis of U.S. immigration case law and regulations. This experience has served her to act quickly and aggressively in presenting her client’s case to the police or prosecutors prior to charges being filed.
