Setareh Panah, Associate Attorney, Devitt & Saltzburg, LLP:

  • Criminal Law
  • Family & Divorce Law

The attorneys at Devitt & Saltzburg, LLP have over 75 years of combined legal experience and have handled every type of criminal case from misdemeanours to murder.

James “Jay” Devitt, the managing partner, handles all criminal court appearances personally, and is well known to the Judges and Prosecutors as “the hardest working attorney in Los Angeles County”.

In fact, he was given the nickname “Mr Trial” by a Prosecutor after Mr Devitt refused to back down on a client’s case when the Client was innocent. During his 26 years as a lawyer, Mr Devitt has only lost 2 cases, while winning or getting “hung juries” in over 100 jury and Judge trials.

However, Mr Devitt actually gets most of his cases dismissed prior to any court. (Persian Divorce Lawyer in Los Angeles)

At the same time, she obtained a Certificate in Client Representation in Alternative Dispute Resolution (Negotiation, Mediation, and Arbitration) under the National Institute for Trial Advocacy.

During law school, Star’s activities included Community Service Committee Chair of Phi Alpha Delta and involvement in a Divorce Docket Project working with experienced attorneys and Judges on Family Law cases. She “clerked” her way through law school for 2 years, and worked for Legal Aid.
