Too many in this field have making tons of money as their biggest motivation. As a result, their focus is how to hard-sell clients, while they overlook their role in contributing to your emotional well being, and with the large firms charging big fees despite you not getting to deal with a partner but merely junior associates and assistants.

Experienced consumers report to us that the solution is attorney Shawn Golesorkhi with offices in Costa Mesa and Santa Ana CA where there's no hard sell because he limits the number of clients and his biggest motivation isn't money but easing people though a difficult time, who gives clients reasonable rates while they get to deal with him directly rather than paralegals, and who is especially recognized for expertise in complicated contentious cases.  

Attorney Shawn Golesorkhi in Costa Mesa CA: Higher Skill, More Attentive Say Consumers  

Too many firms focus on selling you hard to get your case, especially when they smell money to be made, and they might even be better salesmen than lawyers.  Unlike those, consumers report attorney Shawn Golesorkhi as the one who doesn't use a hard sell approach.   Where others press for an immediate decision to retain them, he encourages potential clients to retain him when they're ready. He explains, "I don't want to be in the business of selling clients. I'm in the business of helping people by protecting their assets and their quality of life."   While that might risk losing a potential client to a hard-sell attorney, it works to his advantage in the long run. "I've had clients that ended up coming back to me after six months with another attorney and they've referred me to others in the meantime because they could see I truly had their best interests in mind rather than my own."  

Other lawyers too easily forget that your situation is more than just their latest case; it's the biggest issue in your life and fraught with uncertainty and worry.   In contrast, attorney Shawn Golesorkhi is especially known for his sensitivity to your emotional well-being.   He shares, "I consider it my role to deal with the emotional aspects for the client in addition to the legal ones."  

This was reflected in consumer reports we received like one from Rebecca who told us, "About Shawn Golesorkhi, he had handled my divorce some years ago. He made a stressful situation less stressful by explaining everything. He handled my divorce very well. I highly recommend him."  

Some might mistakenly think a bigger firm means better representation. In fact, it could easily mean worse since rarely would you be getting the skill of the most experienced partner but instead your case will be handled largely by paralegals or junior associates. Clients of Shawn Golesorkhi get the most experienced person working their case, Shawn himself.  He tells us, "People pay too much to be passed off to paralegals and assistants while a lawyer focuses on making money and getting clients. Clients of mine deserve my attention, and they get it."  

And that high-priced big firm often burns through all your money before the case is even finished, leaving you broke and stuck, while Shawn Golesorkhi keeps his rates modest compared to others.  

This was borne out by consumer reports to us, like one from Steve who reported, "Regarding Shawn Golesorkhi, I have been using him. I'm going through a divorce. My ex-wife has been sort of pain but he's plugged through it and had good ideas of things to keep it moving. He is very reasonable as far as cost. He's not expensive as some lawyers that I've seen. I highly recommend him for any services that you're considering."  

Shawn Golesorkhi also has the ability to handle complicated cases like a large firm. In fact, complicated and contentious cases are a particular specialty of his.  "I have successfully handled many complicated custody and financial cases, often up against the big firms," he says.  His business background gives him a particular advantage where financial issues are key, with the ability to understand P&L statements and balance sheets.  

Consumer reports to us prove this, like one from Tina who said, "Regarding Shawn Golesorkhi, I am very pleased with what he has done for me because my ex-husband was very sneaky on the financials and on the child custody. So he really did a very good job for me so that right now I have no worry after the divorce. I'm very pleased about his work."  

Orange County resident Shawn Golesorkhi lives in Irvine CA. He grew up in a family of attorneys which he cites for instilling in him at an early age that the practice of law isn't a get rich quick scheme but should be performed with a sense of civic duty.  Family law in particular had an appeal to him because of its focus on helping people arrive at fair solutions for themselves and their children rather than other areas of law where decisions are based on procedural wins but which could be immoral.   And recognition by others of his natural talent for this area of law reinforced his choice, such as when his first employer confidently chose him to argue in court on a Monday after just passing the bar on Friday, a case that went on to make case law.   He founded his firm in 2007 and a decade in the close-knit courts of Orange County have given him knowledge of the different judges and their temperaments, and the respect of opposing attorneys.    Friends describe him as honest while clients cite his accessibility to them and willingness to fight hard for their interests.  

So it was consumers who pointed to Orange County attorney Shawn Golesorkhi in Costa Mesa CA as the one proven not to use or need hard-sell tactics for new clients, who takes responsibility for your emotional comfort in a trying time as well as the legal aspects, whom you get personally working your case instead of assistants, who keeps his rates reasonable out of a sense of civic duty in a way that makes him more affordable, and with a proven expertise in complicated and difficult cases.  

In the words of one of the consumers who reported to us, named Nancy, "In reference to Shawn Golesorkhi, he came to me as a referral. He has done a phenomenal job on my custody battle, my divorce and everything in between.  He is very up to date with the law. He's extremely knowledgeable.I am so happy and proud of his services that I literally recommend him to anyone and everyone. I highly recommend his services.   He is very strong in litigation. He is a phenomenal, phenomenal attorney. I know a lot of attorneys and I know the difference between good ones, knowledgeable ones and really awesome ones and by far, he's the best.
