Hired Attorney 2025My experience with attorney Shelia Moheb was disappointing. She did not keep her word or follow through on what she promised regarding my case. She told me she wouldn’t just push for a plea deal, yet that’s exactly what happened at the last minute without proper communication or preparation. She failed to review my evidence, didn’t coordinate court scheduling as planned, and caused unnecessary stress and extra expenses. I would not recommend her based on my experience.
