Mona’s practice has groundings in her passion to encourage individuals to achieve their highest potential – for the benefit of society’s hearts, minds, and unmitigated advancement. It is this fiery drive that makes her a sought-after advocate for those looking to take their work to the top.

With this, Mona focuses her California-based practice on assisting individuals and companies to obtain broader reach in spreading their respective talents and expertise – in science, the arts, athletics, business or otherwise – so that all segments of society may benefit and advance, thereby allowing clients to cause further waves throughout the nation and the globe. Mona’s work in immigration assists those with a recognized level of acclaim or extraordinary ability in their field who seek to remain and contribute to the nation on a temporary or permanent basis. Her transactional practice retains those same clients and attracts others seeking to champion their skills and services to better the societies around them, from assisting entrepreneurs with commercial and general business contracts, to providing representation in entertainment contract negotiation and film production counsel.

Prior experience includes trial preparation at a full-service business law firm with a primary clientele of Fortune 500 automotive manufacturers, film production and music matters for a small law firm and internships in the Production & Development and Business & Legal Affairs Departments of Miramax Films, and responsibility for the negotiation of service agreements and the monitoring of publicly disseminated information for compliance with FDA regulations for an international pharmaceutical company.

Mona was an early employee and General Counsel + VP Business Development of a health technology start-up working to provide ease of access to medication for all segments of society, where she managed corporate and commercial legal matters and drove 400% growth in the pharmacy partner network. Her time during the company’s Series A raise led to her work with Signal Partners, an executive search firm focused on helping middle-market private equity firms and investors to find the right talent to execute their portfolio companies’ mission-oriented operating plans. Mona has also served as In-House Legal Counsel for the 7,000-member California Statewide Law Enforcement Association (CSLEA) union, where she championed the rights of state employees to achieve better working conditions, better working hours, and fair treatment.

With a passion for justice, Mona has participated alongside the delegation of the Bahá’í International Community in the 16th Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva, Switzerland – an inter-governmental body within the UN system responsible for the strengthening and protection of human rights worldwide. She also completed an assignment with the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) in Washington, D.C. where she researched human rights and religious freedom issues, particularly within the Middle East and Africa, and attended and reported on relevant public events and hearings on the Hill. Her primary role at USCIRF was to assist in preparing the Commission’s annual religious freedom and human rights report which serves as a major basis for policymaking by the U.S. President and Congress. It is this passion for human rights and the belief in every individual’s ability to advance society that underpins her practice.
