Soheil Levy

Firm: Wallin & Klarich
21151 S Western Ave., #233 , Torrance , California 90501
Practice Areas: Domestic Violence, DUI & DWI, Criminal Defense, Expungement
I became an attorney to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. As a person born in the Islamic Republic of Iran, I saw how people would get arrested for nothing more than their religious beliefs. I saw those same people not have access to an attorney and the Court system. What I can provide to my clients is a promise that I will be their voice in the criminal justice system and do everything in my power to prevent them from being treated as just another case number, rather than a human being.
