Shahrad Milanfar is trial attorney and mediator who has leveraged his defense and neutral experience to catapult himself and his plaintiff-side clients into stratospheric case results. We’ll talk about a recent record-setting 8-figure elder abuse verdict, a tragic story involving a catastrophically unprepared nursing home and a wildfire. Shahrad’s practice includes personal injury, police brutality, and wrongful death cases. Shahrad also has a family practice, and that’s a play on words in that he runs his office along with his spouse, who held a leadership role with a 900-lawyer law firm before running the Milanfar Law Firm.
Like many modern trial lawyers, Shahrad developed initial trial skills serving the community as a district attorney before transitioning to civil work. A passion for trial work and technology has led to Shahrad teaching at the National Institute for Trial Advocacy, developing his own course on using iPads in trial, and serving as an adjunct profession at Golden Gate University Law School.
So please sit back and enjoy this deep dive with the multitalented trial lawyer Shahrad Milanfar.
