Firm: Law Office of Shadi Halavi Shaolian
14156 Magnolia Blvd. , Sherman Oaks , California 91423
Practice Areas: Tax
Mrs. Shaolian learned to practice the art of negotiation as early as prior to college, working in several law offices doing personal injury, as well as learning how to do Chapter 7 Bankruptcies and dealing with credit card companies. Graduated at the top of her class in University of California, Berkeley, she chose to attend Loyola Law School due to its reputation for excellence as well as its focus on giving back to the community. She is licensed to practice in California, Federal and United States Tax Court. While she intended on pursuing public interest law, she learned while working with a tax firm that she could do more good for the community working with people who had fallen in difficult financial times and helping them get back on their feet.. Her prior tax firm experience allowed her to create resolutions for more than a thousand taxpayers, devoting her time to the representation of individuals, corporations, partnerships, estates and other taxpayers, both domestic and foreign, before the Internal Revenue Service, Franchise Tax Board, State Board of Equalization, California Employment Development Department and other state and local tax agencies.. While she enjoyed creating resolutions that her clients were very happy with, she found it hard to watch as her clients continued to be saddled with other kinds of debt. Since creating her own firm, she now specializes in credit card settlements, credit repair, and bankruptcy as well as all tax matters so she could create a more holistic approach to debt management. With a passion for making a difference, she takes each and every client’s issues seriously and works hard to make sure that each of her clients feel like they are her first priority. Ms. Halavi is a member of the Taxation Section of the American Bar Association and the Los Angeles County Bar Association. Recently, she was the speaker at the San Fernando Valley Chapter for the California Society of Enrolled Agent discussing the issues that arise in Bankruptcy and Taxation.

Practice Areas: Tax
Before obtaining my J.D., I worked for a tax accounting firm for several years in Portland, Oregon where I represented clients in their dealings with the IRS. I felt their frustration, and I watched as their interactions with the agency only brought out feelings of uneasiness. Inspired to make a difference, I moved back to California to pursue a law degree with a focus on tax law, eager to provide guidance and relief to taxpayers in need of an advocate.. I have had the pleasure of working with individuals and small businesses in various areas, including tax planning and preparation, tax controversy, and offshore voluntary disclosures. SInce 2008, I have been licensed to practice before the IRS as an Enrolled Agent, and was later admitted to the State Bar of California. After seven years of tirelessly advocating for thos experiencing tax problems, I was fortuante enough to meet like-minded professionals who are equally passionate about helping others achieve both financial stability and peace of mind. Once I joined NewPoint Law Group, I was able to gain further knowledge and experience in additional fields of law. My expertise has grown to include business law, estate planning, and bankruptcy law.
