A Survivor’s Voice for Justice
I’m Sultana Kelantan, founder and head attorney of The Libra Law Firm in Newport Beach, California. My path to becoming a lawyer was far from traditional. I grew up between the United States and Saudi Arabia, enduring abuse and hardship that could have silenced me. Instead, I chose resilience. I built a new life in a country where I had no safety net, and those experiences shaped the advocate I am today.
I know what it means to fight for every step forward. That same grit guides how I practice law. Whether it’s a catastrophic accident, a civil rights violation, or abuse that has stolen someone’s voice, I dedicate my career to making sure my clients are heard and believed.
Legal Experience and Expertise
Before earning my law degree, I worked my way up inside of several prestigious Southern California law firms learning case management, litigation support, and the inner workings of trial practice. I went on to earn my Juris Doctor from Thomas Jefferson School of Law (2018), passed both the Oregon UBE and California Bar on the first attempt (2020), and have been a licensed California attorney since 2021.
I also hold a Master’s in Dispute Resolution from Pepperdine University (2024), equipping me with advanced skills in negotiation and conflict resolution. Combined with my background in engineering from the University of Kansas, I bring a detail-oriented and analytical approach to every case.
In 2022, I founded The Libra Law Firm, built on my belief that law is not just about compensation – it is about healing, dignity, and accountability. Since then, I have helped my clients secure over $20 million in settlements and verdicts, achieving policy limit results in 98% of cases.
