About Sheila
Sheila Tajbakhsh is a Partner at Rosenblum Allen Law Firm and leads the firm's Summerlin office. She has been with the firm for nine years — joining as a law clerk while still in law school and building her practice from the ground up into one of the most respected family law practices in the Las Vegas valley. That trajectory is not an accident. It is the result of nine years of relentless preparation, courtroom experience, and an unwillingness to back down when her clients need her most.
Sheila earned her Juris Doctor from the William S. Boyd School of Law at UNLV in 2018, and she did it the hard way — working full-time at law firms throughout her legal education, handling real cases alongside experienced attorneys while her peers were studying in clinics. That decision shaped the litigator she is today. By the time Sheila passed the bar and was admitted to the Nevada State Bar in 2019, she already had years of practical courtroom experience that most attorneys take a decade to accumulate.
Before law school, Sheila earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, Dean's List, from UNLV in 2013. She interned with the Clark County Public Defender's Homicide Team and externed with the United States Senate — experiences that reflect both her appetite for high-stakes advocacy and her early commitment to public service.
"Clients deserve a lawyer with grit, responsibility, and legal knowledge — both in and out of the courtroom. My professional focus is being the attorney clients can rely on when the stakes are high."
Sheila is a Co-Founder and Vice President of the Iranian American Bar Association, Las Vegas Chapter — an organization she helped build to support Iranian American attorneys and connect the Farsi-speaking community with trusted legal representation. She is also an elected sitting member of the Family Law Executive Counsel, a member of the Raising the Bar Committee, and the IABA Mentorship Committee. Sheila is fluent in Farsi — for many clients in Las Vegas's Persian-speaking community, being able to communicate naturally in their language makes an already difficult process feel more human.
What sets Sheila apart: Nine years of experience with this firm — from law clerk to Partner — means she knows this practice, these courts, and these clients at a depth that no lateral hire can replicate. She is competitive, prepared, and built for the courtroom. When the stakes are highest, that is exactly where she wants to be.
Sheila has been admitted to practice in the US District Court, District of Nevada, extending her reach beyond state family court into federal matters where needed. She is a lifelong Las Vegas resident, raised in the community where she built her career and deeply committed to the people she serves.
Notable Case Results
Sheila has tried complex family law matters across Clark County. Here is a selection of results that reflect the depth and range of her advocacy.
James D. — Multi-Day Relocation Trial
Relocation Granted · Trial Win
After years of litigation and a multi-day trial, Sheila secured a relocation for her client — one of the most contested and difficult outcomes to achieve in family court. Relocation cases require not just legal command but the stamina and strategy to sustain complex litigation over time. Sheila delivered on both.
J'Veon D. — Full Custody Victory
Won on Every Issue
Sheila won on every single contested issue, securing primary custody for her client. In high-conflict custody matters, winning on every issue is rare. It requires airtight preparation, command of the evidence, and the ability to dismantle the opposing party's case completely.
Waldo G. — Primary Custody, Child Support & School Choice
Complete Trial Victory
After 18 months of litigation, Sheila secured primary custody, child support, school choice, and every other relief her client sought. Comprehensive wins of this magnitude — across multiple contested issues after extended litigation — are a testament to sustained preparation and courtroom skill.
Brittany M. — Directed Verdict for Domestic Violence Survivor
Motion for Directed Verdict Granted
Sheila won a Motion for Directed Verdict at trial for a domestic violence survivor, allowing her client to retain custody of her children. A directed verdict at trial — before the opposing party even finishes presenting their case — is one of the most decisive outcomes a family court attorney can achieve.
Raul G. — Joint Custody & Bond Requirement for International Travel
Joint Custody Secured · International Safeguard Ordered
After months of litigation in which the mother had been withholding the child, Sheila secured joint custody and obtained a court order requiring the mother to post a bond before taking the child to Colombia. A critical result for a father facing international parental abduction risk.
Eleesya M. — Primary Custody, Child Support & Attorney's Fees
Full Trial Victory · Fees Awarded
Sheila's client received primary custody, child support, and attorney's fees at trial. The opposing party — who had a history of DUIs and a criminal record — was restricted to daytime visits two days per week indefinitely. A result that protected a child and held an unfit parent accountable.
Elizabeth G. — $250,000 Resolution
$250,000 Settlement
Sheila secured a $250,000 resolution for her client — a result that reflects her ability to negotiate favorable outcomes in high-stakes financial matters as well as win at trial.
Practice Areas
Sheila handles complex family law matters across Summerlin, Las Vegas, and Clark County, with particular depth in high-conflict custody, relocation, and high-asset divorce.
