"Mr. Shegerian truly cares for his clients. The Shegerian firm is quick to respond and very professional."
"Carney is the best in the business when it comes to employment and wrongful termination matters. He is my go to guy. I have referred several cases to Carney in the past and he did not disappoint. The last settlement he received for my client that I referred to him was in the millions. I look to Carney on my biggest cases without question."
"Mr. Shegerian without a doubt is one of the best trial lawyers in the country. In fact he has recently won the trial lawyer of the year award for 2013. Any person would be fortunate to have Mr. Shegerian represent them on a case. Truly an amazing person and a master trial lawyer."
"Carney is a top notch attorney - the best employment law attorney in California as far as I am concerned, and I believe most lawyers would agree with this assessment. I am a personal injury attorney and have referred many clients to Carney over the years. Every client has been very grateful for the referral, which makes me look good. If you have an employment law matter, and Carney takes your case - you are lucky indeed!"
"I wholeheartedly endorse Carney. He is one heck of lawyer. His skills as a trial lawyer are second to none. Carney had won more seven figure cases than any lawyer I know, against some very tough opponents, while making it seem easy. He is my first choice when issues of employment law comes up. Carney's clients should consider themselves very lucky to have him in their corner. As for Carney's opponents, a word of advice: settle!"
