I had the pleasure of working with Gevorg on my immigration case, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, Gevorg demonstrated exceptional professionalism and trustworthiness. He guided me through every step of the process, ensuring I was always informed and up-to-date, which gave me peace of mind throughout.
The communication with his office staff was also a highlight. They were highly experienced, respectful, and always prompt in responding to my inquiries. Thanks to Gevorg’s expertise, I successfully received my Green Card, and I will definitely be returning to him for my future naturalization process. I highly recommend his services!

I was impressed with the quality of advice as well as the calming effect Raffy has on the client in explaining the options to consider with clarity and patience during his initial consultation. I feel confident with his ability to represent my family with our existing case.

I called Raffy to see if he could help me with a real estate issue I was having. Raffy said that due to the time-consuming nature of my problem, he couldn’t help me but could refer me to another lawyer.
But he graciously agreed to a 1-hour consultation. He is a great listener, and his advice was excellent. He drew upon years of legal experience, telling me what he thought I should do, and what my risks are with the various options I am considering.
Frankly, he just comes across as someone with high integrity. He seems to derive satisfaction from doing an excellent job and cultivating a great reputation.
I was amazed that at the end of our meeting he did not try to sell me on his services. I asked again if he could take my legal work, and he said he was too busy since he doesn’t like to outsource any legal work to other people, but prefers to do it all himself since that’s what his clients are expecting.
I recommend that if you need legal advice, you call Raffy and see if he has time to help you. You won’t regret it.

Words cannot explain how impressed I am with Attorney Raffy Boulgourjian. I found him on the attorney website AVVO and am so truly thankful I did.
I had rushed back to the country due to receiving court papers by a company claiming breach of contract (they were claiming I had signed to sell my house to them at 50% off market price and at 200k less than what I owed the bank) My house was NOT for sale, not to mention, I was out of the country when this supposed contract was signed. (Sidenote > fraudulent realty scheme > yes they filed papers in court & yes they put a lien on my house)
I was searching for attorneys on AVVO and after researching and cross referencing with other attorney review sites I compiled a list of potential attorneys and started making calls. Raffy was the chosen one. Not only was he patient and helpful, during the initial phone call he attempted to walk me through the steps that I could take in order to resolve this on my own without retaining his services and incurring attorney fees --- apparently he had a client with the same type of case as mine, copy paste except for our names.
I appreciated his honesty in trying to save me money but could not take any chances in attempting to handle this myself... He was the chosen ONE. I retained his services and am so glad that I did. He was available throughout the entire process via phone call and email, he kept me updated in detail anytime he had new information. He took care of it all, got the lien taken off of my house got the fraudulent case against me dropped basically did everything he had set out to do and all in a short period of time. He sent me monthly invoices with a breakdown showing me exactly what was billed and get this…. In the end I get a check back for the money’s not used. I am going to be honest, as I was with him, I did not expect any money back, I feel like he under billed, it would have been worth every single penny had he kept the entire retainer and, yes, I would have written a review regardless, but, I am so impressed with this final action on his part that I decided to go more in detail with the specifics on my case and rid you of any doubts.. If you are reading this review and you need an attorney then don’t hesitate to call him. I have never been impressed with attorneys and have actually sided with the term “Lawyer=Liar” but not anymore. Raffy Bougourjian is a Lawyer and is a straight forward and honest person. I am now a believer that there are good people who turn into great attorneys with an amazing work ethic.
I would not hesitate to refer clients to him for as long as he is an attorney and I as long as I am alive
Thank you Raffy, I praise and applaud you. You are a godsend.

I came to Mr. Terhovsepian for a second opinion about my accident case. You see my experience with lawyers has not been very pleasant including the current one for which I sought the 2nd opinion. I was referred to Terhovsepian law by one of my dear friends who has also had a case with him and learned about my struggles with my current lawyer. From the first interaction I felt comfortable and he was very calm and explained the process but first and foremost he listen to me for almost 15 minutes before he started advising me. My other lawyer would cut me short because she didnt wanna waste his time. I also gotta mention that the staff is pretty courteous as well and they called me within the same day.

Nick Terhovsepian and his legal team provide exceptional service to their clients. It's been a real pleasure to work with them. They were all really knowledgable and courteous. I'd never dealt with a situation like this before. They kept me up to date on the procedure as well as what I could expect. I knew I was in capable hands with whom I could put my trust. If there was a delay or something needed on my end, I was contacted as soon as possible, and we worked together to resolve the problem. Without them, I am confident that my case outcome would not have been as good, and I am grateful for that alone. Thank you!

I had spoken with several lemon law attorneys prior to retaining Norman Taylor and Associates. Other attorneys wanted to sit and wait for Ford Focus class action settlement to settle, then proceed with arbitration. Norman Taylor & Associates took the bull by the horn. They got right to it by sending a pre-litigation letter to Ford...things just moved forward from there without need to arbitrate. From start-to-finish, we were done in 90 days. Kudos to all members on staff. Very professional, honest, and communicative.

Ms. Farewell and her firm provided professional and caring legal assistance at a time when my family required immediate expert help.
My mother suffered a life-threatening medical emergency in the midst of the COVID crisis, and my father - in his 90’s - was unable to make the required medical and financial decisions. With the able assistance of Ms. Farewell’s firm, we quickly created and executed needed Power of Attorney and Advance Medical Directive documents, which allowed me to ensure appropriate care for both my parents.
Ultimately, again with the guidance of the Farewell firm, we were able to sell my parents’ home and move them to an assisted living facility near my home in Santa Barbara. They are now in a safe environment and most importantly, together.
I relied on the Farewell firm throughout the process of safeguarding my parents and their assets, and will happily use them again for my family’s estate and related legal issues.

After importing a vehicle into the Uk based on a US car dealers description i was shocked at the condition both cosmetically mechanically and structurally how bad the vehicle was, i really thought i had no hope of any resolution and thought this was going to be a major financial loss to me, then i found hovanes margarian, i sent them all the requested information about this purchase, including import duties etc, that is when they took the case on, i know it has been very difficult for them dealing with someone from overseas, but they have handled this case in a very professional manner, and have achieved what i think was possibly the best outcome that i could have hoped for, so i am very grateful to the whole team that have worked hard to get this result for me, they come very, very highly recommended from me, many thanks again for your support.

Mr. Reyes is an outstanding attorney. Last year my mom was involved in a car accident which caused her to be hospitalized for 5 days. Unfortunately, our insurance decided to blame my mom for the accident before getting the police report. After 15 years of having this major insurance carrier, we didn't feel as we were in "safe hands". It was a nightmare. Thankfully, we contacted Mr. Reyes and he started his own investigation. He was very persistent and researched everything about the accident to better understand the situation. Somehow, Mr. Reyes got a hold of a couple of witnesses that confirmed that it was the other individual's fault. A couple of weeks later, the police report corroborated that it was the other driver's fault. Mr. Reyes' dedication paid off. After eight months, we closed the case and the other driver's insurance has agreed to pay the maximum allowed for this case. If you want someone that is honest, hardworking and strategic, contract Mr. Jual F Reyes, you won't regret it.

After a foot injury at a store, I visited the ER room and made the best decision to work with Attorney Vazken and his professional team. When he said his firm would cover all aspects of this case from A-Z, they meant it. Enduring personal injuries can require time-consuming doctor visits, inconvenient and unpleasant experiences. However, I am very grateful fro Attorney Vazken and his team for mitigating the stressful process and fighting for my case. I cannot recommend this law firm enough-- hire them!

So far the process of my lawsuit has been nothing but smooth with Henrik. He's made it evident that he truly cares about my well being throughout the process of experiencing the hardships of being in a car accident. I have the utmost confidence that I am in great hands, I would recommend Henrik to anyone granted that he will keep you up to speed throughout the process of your lawsuit. This is something that I did not experience several years ago with another lawyer, who never reached out to me throughout the lawsuit process; that aspect sticks out and gives me peace of mind knowing that there will not be any issues.

I was involved in a car accident in 2012 and I had to deal with my car issues but just didn’t have the time with work. I started to have pain after a day or so and I was determined to find an attorney. I called Mr. Henrik Karapetian and he immediately followed up with my accident case. After hiring him he kept me informed every step of the way as my car was repaired, a rental was given and my injury case progressed. I never needed to call him for an update because he would let me know of any new developments as they came so I was really happy about that.
Most important, my car was fixed immediately and my injury claim settled for an amount that I was very happy with.
I am glad I called Henrik for my accident case and I recommend him for any car accident cases because he sees the case as his own and treats the client with the highest level of integrity.
Thank you Henrik.

I had hired an attorney for a custody and support case but I was happy with the service and attention my case was getting. I wanted results. I hired Henrik after firing my previous attorney. I was recommended to Henrik by a friend as I wanted someone with family law experience. I can honestly say since hiring him early this year that he is so knowledgeable and strategic when it comes to your case. I now have a much better visitation schedule and lower support payments. There is still more to do with my case but I am fortunate to have found Henrik!

After interviewing several law firms, I selected JLG to handle my divorce. Not only did JLG have the right specialist in family law, they also have a number of other practice areas that often come into play. I quickly learned that I needed to think about estate planning at the same time. There were also tax implications and JLG brought in the right expert. Lastly, we've also had to think about general litigation as not everything falls under the jurisdiction of family court. The other firms I considered needed me to find separate specialists (and of course separate retainers!), for each area.

JLG has helped my small business in several matters that threatened my business’ livelihood. I am a small business owner and needed the different areas of legal expertise. In one litigation matter, JLG was able to overturn $60,000 in wrongfully seized funds in both the superior court and appeals court cases. In another matter, JLG was able to secure a $50,000 arbitration award for a breach of contract matter. I have also been able to turn to JLG on other business issues including drafting up contracts, representations for negotiations, and reducing liabilities. For a small business owner like me, JLG’s wide practice has helped me with quality and competent representation on different issues while giving me the attention that I wouldn’t be able to afford at a larger firm. Because Michael is a business owner himself, I know he understands how stressful these situations can be -- not just my business, but on my personal and family life as well. Having JLG in my corner helps me feel more confident as I continue to work on growing my business.

Meredith Brown is the best immigration lawyer in Los Angeles, CA. she's very professional, she detail very handling my case, speaks English and Spanish and most importantly has direct contact with immigration offices. My case was almost unsolvable because it had already been rejected by immigration, I contact Meredith and was not even necessary to submit a formal appeal, she looked my case and she told me: "I can't find any reason of why they rejected your application", we work together and she submit a letter and my documents again with the immigration office, after a few months my citizenship was approved. Thanks to her I am now a citizen of this country, I married and I could bring my wife from Mexico to live with me without any problem, my migrations problems stay in the past and now I have a good life with my wife in a country where as an immigrants we have to strive to double, learn another language, work double and overcome barriers that the system requires us for the simple fact of not being born in USA. We don't have another option and it's good, we have to do it. Thank you very much for your support and your great work Meredith Brown.

Lauriann and her team were our lifesavers as we navigated though a probate, a conservatorship and a second probate filing over the span of 4-1/2 years. We had never had to do anything like this before and had the added complication of living out of the state of California. Lauriann coached us through every proceeding and explained what would happen next so we were prepared up front. Lauriann was very knowledgeable and highly skilled when dealing with the expectations of the Court and the Judges that handled our cases. We never had to go back and re-do or re-file anything....in fact, our paperwork was done so well that our filings and petitions were almost always "recommended for approval" eliminating our need to appear and make a trip from out-of-state. My wife and I highly recommend Lauriann and her team.

Wow! Ms. Wright is an energetic and tireless advocate for Seniors. Even though the Probate Case was pro bono, she treated us with amazing dignity and respect. Ms. Wright went above and beyond to ensure that my mother's estate would not be usurped. Thank you Lauriann for keeping expenses in check and making the best use of your time!! We are grateful.
