If I could give ZERO stars, I would... mostly for the assistant, Julia. I've met several attorneys and those that work above and below attorneys for years. I've NEVER met such an unethical law practice over 14 years... just absolutely shocked at the unprofessionalism, lack of effective communication, and complete disregard for private information. Sharen seems to be compliant with the actions of her assistant. I'd MUCH rather have no lawyer at all as opposed to blatantly dishonest people.
There are so many ethical, hard-working attorneys that are honest and go out of their way to help so many people. You'll want an attorney that will actually treat you like a human being, and give you the time of day, instead of brushing you off multiple times.
I believe in their office, someone I believe named Victoria actually took the time to explain some of the legal aspects attorney-client privilege...however, Julia, on the other hand, will 1000% deceive you, lie to you over the phone, and state, "I have no idea what you're talking about" just a few days later. Even after being placed on hold, she stated to me, "oh I was trying to hang up on you." She's 21 years old assistant, and is the primary reason for this review... I'd appreciate if someone warned me if I was going to contact a law office for anything, Julia is absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt, the LAST person to be trusted.
You know what's hilarious? I think this is my only negative review in almost 14 years... yikes.
The lack of accountability and lack of accepting responsibility is just astounding.
If I could pursue legal action just so that Julia Saghian on integrity, and ethics within the law and even outside the law, that would be my frivolous request.
I’d like to say that I’m very grateful to attorney Sharen Ghatan and her firm for assisting in navigating me through my legal problems. Sharen put me at ease while I was facing two situations one which was an auto accident and another that was criminal charges. Sharen and the Firm kept me at ease throughout the entire situation, and I was expeditiously given compensation for my auto accident injuries and damage to my vehicle. My criminal case was reduced and Sharen saw to it that I was not sent to jail. I would refer any of my family and friends to Sharen Ghatan and the California Legal Counsel. They are very professional and diligent in all legal matters. If you would care for top-notch legal representation, I would highly suggest that you get attorney-at-law Sharen Ghatan to anyone with legal concerns.
California Legal Counsel is an amazing firm to assist you with legal matters. My sister’s hair caught fire from a candle making her lose about 12 inches of her hair and minor burns marks. The Attorney was able to settle the matter very fast. Trust California Legal Counsel and Attorney Sharen Ghatan for all your legal needs.
Sharen is the attorney you want when you need someone who is equal parts kind, brave, intelligent, relentless, knowledgable, fair and fearless.

Highly recommended.
I came to California Legal Counsel at one of the lowest points in my life after speaking with several criminal defense attorneys and feeling completely lost. From the very first conversation, Attorney Sharen Ghatan gave me confidence and reassurance that I was in the right hands.

I can’t say enough good things about Sharen Ghatan. She and her assistant, Julia, were professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Sharen successfully got my DUI charge reduced and continues to advocate for the best possible outcome. I always felt informed, supported, and confident knowing I had the right team behind me. I highly recommend her!
Thank you Sharen from my heart to yours. A deeply loved family member had a serious felony, but after 5 months in jail sharen moved the felony charge to a misdemeanor and he is able to go to rehab.

I had a great experience with California Legal Counsel. They handled my case quickly and professionally. The settlement was reached faster than I expected, and they kept me informed throughout. I was on the freeway when an individual swerved into me causing me to hit the center divider of the freeway. Due to the injuries caused by the accident, I was promptly scheduled with amazing Doctors who helped me through this as well. Thank you Sharen for making such a scary and difficult time really easy!
Attorney Sharen and her assistant Julia have been absolutely fantastic and extremely helpful in helping my mother and I get through a terrifying accident. They have helped us go through this process faster than I could imagine with instant scheduling and replies to emails and text messages. Truly so grateful to have such an amazing team assist us during these times of need and would highly recommend to use them!
I’m the COO of a California family law firm, and I’m very particular about who I trust with criminal law referrals in Los Angeles. Attorney Sharen Ghatan and her team at California Legal Counsel have been outstanding.
The clients we send her way consistently describe feeling heard, supported, and clearly guided through a very intimidating process. Sharen combines deep criminal defense experience with genuine compassion, which is exactly what people need when their freedom and future are on the line. I’m grateful to have a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney I can confidently recommend.
I cannot thank Sharen and her team enough for the incredible support and professionalism throughout my case. Sharen represented me on a very serious and complicated case that lasted for over 3 years and around 10-15 court appearances.
What stood out most was their dedication. They were always available to answer my questions, kept me informed, and gave me confidence during a very stressful time. Sharen has a strong presence in the courtroom and is someone you would want on your side to represent you in any legal matter.
Again, thank you Sharen and team for helping me navigate some of the most difficult times of my life.
Atty. Sharen Ghatan is an exceptional lawyer whose expertise truly sets her apart. Her assistant, Julia, is remarkably responsive and attentive to details. Thanks to their dedicated efforts, my son's diploma, which was being withheld by the University, has now been successfully released. They fought for his case with tenacity and secured a victory that made all the difference. I couldn't be more grateful!
