Shelley and Sara were great to deal with. Shelley was very knowledgeable and professional and Sara’s client service was superb. Highly recommend Bani Law
Shelly is diligent, direct and really cared about a positive outcome for me. Shelly ensures that I understand the legal process and is always available to answer my questions. She is well connected and resourceful. I really felt like I was in good hands and that she had my best interest at heart. She is hard working and definitely has zero issues standing up for me in court. I couldn’t ask for a better lawyer!
Shelly was fully engaged at every meeting and very responsive to my emails. I never felt like just another “case,” which was my experience with my previous lawyer. She was clear, honest, and didn’t waste time. You could tell she genuinely wanted to help resolve things.
From the very beginning, Shelly was punctual, organized, empathetic, realistic, and highly efficient. When you're navigating a complex legal process, people often say you need to hire a "shark" lawyer. In my view, any lawyer can take an aggressive stance and march you straight into court—but Shelly offers something far more valuable. She has a remarkable ability to de-escalate high-conflict situations while staying strategic and focused on the end goal. Our meetings were always goal-oriented, and I felt confident that she was keeping the process moving forward with clarity and purpose. My case was especially complex financially. Shelly took the time to truly understand the details of my financial situation. Coming from a family of lawyers myself, I was clear on my financial goals and well-versed in my resources. Rather than dismissing what I brought to the table, Shelly empowered me. She respected my input, provided sound legal advice, and gave me the confidence to handle many matters directly—always with her support and guidance. Even in the face of numerous unprofessional emails from opposing counsel, Shelly remained calm, focused, and composed. She consistently prioritized what truly mattered and moved the case forward with well-crafted, concise responses—often addressing complex issues in a single, strategic email, compared to the flurry from the other side. Shelly was always laser-focused on the goals we had outlined and, even under pressure, often came up with sharp, creative solutions to problems at the eleventh hour. Most importantly, in what was a very stressful and chaotic time, I always left my conversations with Shelly feeling grounded—with a clear plan, a checklist of next steps, and a sense that someone truly compassionate and competent was in my corner. She is a rare combination of sharp legal mind and genuine care.
I had the pleasure of working with Shelly Banihashemi during my divorce process. She was always available, highly knowledgeable about family law, and made everything easier to understand. As a Farsi speaker, I really appreciated being able to communicate in my own language — it made a big difference and helped me feel more comfortable and confident throughout the process. Shelly is professional, kind, and truly committed to helping her clients. I highly recommend her to anyone, especially members of the Persian community, who are looking for a reliable and compassionate family lawyer. Thank you so much, Shelly!
I truly cannot thank Shelly Banihashemi at Bani Law Firm enough for everything she did for me during my separation. From the very beginning, she brought a rare combination of strength, professionalism, and genuine compassion that made one of the hardest times in my life feel manageable—and even empowering. Shelly was incredibly professional every step of the way. She was always prepared, clear, and steady—even when the other party’s law firm was disorganized and frankly unprofessional. While they created unnecessary conflict, Shelly remained calm, respectful, and laser-focused on protecting my interests and getting results. Her ability to rise above the chaos and stay composed made all the difference. What mattered most to me was making sure the agreement regarding our children was fair, balanced, and in their best interest. Shelly never lost sight of that. She took the time to understand my priorities as a parent and made sure the parenting plan reflected a structure that was not only reasonable, but truly centered around the kids’ well-being. She also fought hard to ensure the financial aspects of the agreement were handled fairly. She was a strong and strategic negotiator—never backing down when it came to what I was entitled to, and always making sure I felt informed, confident, and in control. I always felt like I had someone in my corner who genuinely cared—not just about the case, but about me as a person. Shelly is not just an incredible lawyer; she’s someone you want by your side during a difficult time. I’m so grateful for her guidance, support, and strength. If you’re going through a separation or divorce and need someone who will advocate for you with heart and unmatched professionalism, I cannot recommend Shelly highly enough.
I had a very bad experience with Shelly. I paid thousands in legal fees, but received inadequate service. Basic calculations were incorrect, and it appeared that minimal effort was put into reviewing my case details, including my income and payment obligations. The final amount I was told I owed seemed arbitrary and unjustified. Don't be fooled by artificially inflated reviews and ratings.
