Never tires, never gives up, he is dedicated to your cause till the end. That is true compassion and that’s why he has yet to lose a case which I know will never happen. No wonder he was chosen the Trial Lawyer of the Year. This is a well-deserved award only given to the astonishing Best and Carney Shegerian is that lawyer. I also want to mention my experience with his law firm. I have never seen an office working in complete harmony like the Shegerian & Associates Law Firm. When you call with a question, you are guaranteed to get a call back with an answer. It has been such a pleasant experience working with the Shegerian & Associates Law Firm; the office personnel is courteous, competent, well informed, respectful and everything you expect when you have fallen so deep and you need someone to pull you up. That’s exactly what they do. If you are reading this and you are looking for an employment lawyer, consider this your lucky day.

A concern for justice and a genuine respect for people

I was fortunate to have someone refer Carney Shegerian, Shegerian & Associates, to me at a time when I had just about given up hope of getting justice with an employment issue. Carney Shegerian recognized the injustice, stood up for me by handling my case and getting a successful resolution in my fa...vor. His team (hands-on knowledgeable group) worked closely with me all along the way by keeping me updated and helping me understand the legal process which can be very confusing, overwhelming and intimidating. Carney Shegerian and his team of associates gave me their full support. They challenge employers who think that 'you' don't matter and that their companies can do what they want regardless of the law. I have benefited by someone who took the time to refer me to Shegerian & Associates and I gratefully 'pay it forward'.

"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!"
