Shayan Elahi

Shayan Elahi earned his bachelor’s degree at the University of Central Florida, in Orlando. He went on to Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York and earned his J.D. in 1999.

Asked what drew him to law, Shayan says: “My sense of justice and zeal to protect and advocate for people.”

Shayan was admitted to The Florida Bar in 2004. As a public defender in Orange County (opens in a new tab), Florida, he represented indigent clients and handled thousands of cases in court. He started his own practice in Orlando in 2007, and the firm opened its Dallas office in 2013.

Today Elahi Law handles civil litigation, personal injury, car accidents, medical malpractice, business law, sexual harassment, and mediation.

Elahi Law is a boutique civil litigation firm that treats every client as a person, not a file. You can always reach us and get updates on your case. Anyone on our staff who helps with it works under Shayan’s supervision.

Shayan has appeared as a legal commentator on CNN, BBC, FOX, and NPR, explaining court cases and legal news to a general audience.

Clients get the same approach: a direct explanation of where they stand and a plan built around their goals.

The office is at 3010 LBJ Fwy #1450, Dallas, TX 75234. Shayan is licensed in Texas and Florida and practices in the state and federal courts of both. His legal career began in Florida, and he still works with Florida clients by appointment.

Florida meetings are by appointment only, by phone or video. Whether the problem started on I-635 or in Orlando, the first step is the same. Tell us what happened.

Every case starts with one conversation. In yours, we assess your case thoroughly and map the best path forward.
