Maria Ghobadi’s story is rooted in resilience, justice, and a lifelong commitment to giving a voice to the voiceless in our communities and courtrooms.

Born in Iran, Maria fled to the United States with her family and settled in Southern California, where her life, like that of many immigrants, was shaped by hard work, service, and giving back to the community. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology before attending law school and ultimately dedicating her legal career to public service.

As an experienced trial attorney, Maria has spent her entire career protecting victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and families who have lost loved ones to murder and gang violence. As a veteran prosecutor for over 18 years, she has handled some of the most complex criminal cases.

Maria understands the balance between protecting the public while upholding the constitutional rights of the accused. She is proud to be endorsed by over 75 judges, including the Los Angeles County Supervising Judge of the Criminal Courts and the Assistant Supervising Judge of the Criminal Courts, as well as a broad coalition that includes both defense attorneys and prosecutors who have seen firsthand her professionalism and dedication.

Guided by her immigrant journey and complex legal experience a vote for Maria Ghobadi is a vote to ensure the courtroom remains a place of fairness, respect, and balanced justice.
