I found myself having to deal with a difficult matter in this new year and needed legal protection. I have had no reason before to find a lawyer until now so on top of the shock of the situation I also needed to search for a lawyer who would understand my unique situation. I also found myself struggling with the first move to even call a lawyer because I know so many people that had terrible experiences with their lawyers . I was really distressed for the safety of my family and myself. I even felt jumpy at home so I took the chance and made the call. After making a phone call I was referred to Balali & Associates. I was reassured that Shideh Balali was the one who could tackle this kind of problem. I still felt skeptical and afraid before I got in touch with Shideh. I explained my problem and even though it was a bit embarrassing she kept it strictly professional and I love how she kept it real. Plus no sign of judging just straight out great legal advice. No ass kissing and puffed up sales pitches for different services. She kept it really simple and gave me the steps we needed to take to resolve the matter. She is one tough woman and I truly appreciate having her on my side. After the first phone call and sharing her legal knowledge I felt protected and relieved. She kept her word and she reached out to me whenever she had an update or she would contact me to see if there was any new news on my end. This continued for almost 4 weeks I believe. Her prediction was right and the steps we took were really the best moves. I waited until the service was completed to give an honest review of my entire experience with Shideh. There is absolutely no hidden fees with Balali & Associates. There is true transparency when you look at the invoice. Everything is neatly shown for what was included in the service and I thought it was a very fair price. I am very happy and confident with the quality of service I received. I definitely know who to go to when and if I ever have any problems like this again. read more

Shideh Balali was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. Not only was she able to fight for us , her calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most. I appreciated her honesty and most of all the way she fought and explained everything from A to Z . Shideh Balali Esq. made me feel like I had the Dream Team fighting for us, she took time out to help guide decision I had to make and went the distance for us! If your looking for a lawyer that will defend you and make you feel like a person rather then just a client, but at the same time fight and be resourceful she is the ONE! My family and I are eternally grateful for her service and I hereby recommend Shideh Balali Esq. without reservation. read more

I saved a good amount of money, by paying a listing service and having Balali review all real estate documents when I went to sale my condo. This allowed me to sale the condo myself and not have to pay for a real estate agent. If the property is priced to sale in today's OC real estate market you really don't "need" an agent. Just host your own open house hire Balali and keep the money!! read more

Ms. Balali offered me a reasonable rate and didn't give me a sales pitch. She listened to me, explained the process in simple terms, asked questions and gave me her cellphone # before I even gave her a dime. Ms. Balali is vibrant and professional.

I am positive that I was high maintenance, but she answered every call and email in a timely fashion and advised me well. After all said and done, the court ruled granted in our favor. I highly recommend Balali & Associates and feel very fortunate to have them represent me. read more
