Elham Sadri

I've been practicing law for almost 10 years, and I started my own firm in July 2020, early in the pandemic. I felt like I needed to do this - I like to help people and also be able to take the cases that I want to. My day-to-day involves meetings with my clients, working on their cases, going to hearings for them, discussing different strategies, following the new developments in regulations and policies that are coming every day, and implementing and updating our strategy in the cases as we go forward. I've been on the board of American Immigration Lawyer Association, Santa Clara Valley Chapter for 4 years until I finished my executive board term. I was also on Santa Clara County Bar Association board, where I actually created a bridge between these two bar associations. I'm also an alumni board member of the national and local chapter of Iranian American Bar Association. I'm still involved with these multiple bar associations. What I'm most proud of is that I always wanted to be able to represent my clients, and I always care about them as like it's my own case. I wanted to be transparent and honest with them, and I'm proud that I've accomplished that. My clients' mutual feedback to me is about my transparency and honesty from day one on their cases. That's something that I really care, and I'm glad that my clients noticed that and they see throughout the process the empathy, the care, and the honesty that I'm putting into their cases.
