About Alex
Alex Shahrestani studied at the University of California, Irvine before earning a J.D. from the University of Texas at Austin. Those years shaped his approach to legal work. He experienced both large lecture halls and smaller clinical settings during law school, learning to translate legal doctrine into practical advice.
After law school, Shahrestani built his practice in Texas. He is licensed to practice in the state and has handled a mix of matters for individual and business clients. Over time he moved into private practice and joined Promise Legal PLLC, where he combines case work and counseling for clients who need clear legal guidance.
Colleagues describe Shahrestani as methodical. He breaks problems into manageable pieces and sets realistic expectations. In meetings he prefers plain language over legalese. In court or at the negotiating table he prepares thoroughly and adapts as situations change. Shahrestani’s work requires both attention to detail and an ability to explain complex issues to nonlawyers.
At Promise Legal PLLC he manages client intake, develops legal strategies, and handles filings and hearings where required. He balances client-facing tasks and behind-the-scenes research. The firm setting allows him to coordinate with other lawyers and draw on shared resources when a matter demands multiple skill sets.
Outside the office he maintains ties to academic and professional communities that informed his training. That background informs how he reviews new disputes and structures resolutions. He brings the practical training from UT Austin and the broader perspective he gained at UC Irvine into everyday practice.
Shahrestani currently practices at Promise Legal PLLC, handling legal matters for clients in Texas.
