Reza has handled numerous high-profile cases in both state and federal courts, and has served in leadership roles in litigation at the national level. He has been featured for legal commentary by the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Daily News, Los Angeles Daily Journal, San Francisco Daily Journal, New York Daily News, Metro News, Christian Science Monitor, KUSI TV, and many other news outlets and publications.
Through Reza’s leadership, vision and passion for representing the people, TorkLaw has established offices nationwide, in cities throughout California, Arizona, Georgia, Illinois, Nevada, Texas, Washington State, and Washington, D.C.
Reza has successfully represented thousands of clients and after more than a decade of practicing law, “Representing the People” continues to be the core foundation and guiding principle of his practice and the firm.
Reza is a frequently invited guest speaker and has lectured across the country on the practice of law and the civil justice system. He is a proud Honorary Board Member of the Los Angeles Trial Lawyers Charity, an active member of the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles, and President’s Club Member of the Consumer Attorneys of California.
Reza is the co-author of the book, Accidents Happen: A Consumer’s Guide to the Personal Injury and Wrongful Death System, which is now it its second edition and continues to receive wide acclaim and endorsement from the legal community.
Following a $12,000, judgment in a 2012 wrongful death case, Reza was invited to lifetime membership in the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, a distinction held by less than 1% of all attorneys.
In 2014, Reza was nominated as Trial Lawyer of the Year by Consumer Attorneys of California. In that same year, Reza represented a catastrophically injured pedestrian, which resulted in a jury verdict in the amount of $26,255, in Orange County, California.
In 2015, Reza was on the leadership team that successfully litigated an FDA recalled medical device resulting in a $14,250, settlement.
In 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, Reza has been named to Woodward White’s Best Lawyers list; a recognition of excellence by one of the oldest and most well-respected peer review publications in the legal profession.
Similarly, Reza is recognized as a SuperLawyer by Thomson Reuters, a recognition he earned in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. A SuperLawyer classification is reserved for the top 5% of attorneys in the Country.
In 2018 and 2019, Reza was listed on the Top 100 National Trial Lawyers and Top 25 Motor Vehicle Trial Lawyers list. Also in 2018 and 2019, Reza was recognized on the America’s Top 100 High Stakes Litigators list.
Reza has obtained more than $100,000, in judgements, verdicts and settlements on behalf of injured victims and their families. His cases have not only changed corporate behavior and forced governments to take action, but they have also brought about real change towards increasing the safety of our communities. These cases represent complex high-stakes litigation against some of the largest and most powerful corporations and entities in the world.
From defective cars, tires, airbags, medical devices and drugs to motor vehicle accidents, dangerous premises and poorly designed roadways that create dangerous conditions, Reza has dedicated himself and the firm to leveling the playing field on behalf of the clients he represents against billion dollar corporations and the powerful.

Reza Torkzadeh's Lawyer Endorsements
"Mr. Torkzadeh is a fearless litigator that can take down any defense firm any day of the week. If you are injured and need help, he is the "goto" lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Reza is a bright young lawyer with a zeal to providing his clients with the highest service possible. He is a dedicated, hard-working, highly ethical, knowledgeable lawyer. I have been a lawyer for 30 years (currently on inactive status as I limit my work to writing and consulting, and started my career with the legendary San Francisco lawyer Melvin Belli, the "King of Torts.") Reza is bright, imaginative, not afraid to take on the hard cases, and is a joy to work with. I have no problem with referring potential clients to him, even though I know some of the top lawyers in the State of California. Reza is enthusiastic and conscientious and even though he has been in practice only several years, he has an uncanny knowledge of the tort and personal injury system, dealing with insurance companies and defense lawyers. I think big things are in store for Reza and am pleased and proud to write this endorsement of him."
"I endorse this lawyer. Reza is focused, works hard, and gets results!"
"As a young attorney, it was critical for me to find an experienced, effective and trustworthy attorney to look up to and learn from. I had the pleasure of working with Reza when I first began my career and can confidently say that he is the perfect blend an experienced, effective and trustworthy attorney. His dedication towards his clients and his skills as an advocate are unparalleled. I refer all personal injury cases to him and his firm because I know for certain that the individuals I refer will be receiving the best possible representation. Reza and his firm represent the highest standard of legal representation. I strongly endorse Reza and his firm."
"Almost nobody is more enthusiastic about a court fight than Reza Torkzadeh. He loves it! He makes defendants and insurance companies cringe because he has all day to take them apart in front of a jury. I endorse this lawyer!"

He works hard on his clients' behalf and truly empathizes with their plights. He definitely goes that extra mile to help out and he has the skill to get his clients what they truly deserve."
"Reza is one of the hardest working, honest and most passionate attorneys I know. He strives for excellence in every aspect of his work and treats his clients cases the way he would his family. There is nothing more important to him that seeking a just result for his clients and making sure that they are fairly compensated for their losses. I fully endorse Reza."

He plays out all his hands and does not believe in taking short cuts. When in need of a personal injury attorney, I personally recommend having Mr.Torkzadeh by your side."
"Over the last few years, I have had the unique opportunity to become acquainted with Mr. Torkzadeh. Since I met him, I have found that there are few lawyers that work as hard as he does on behalf of their clients. Moreover, Mr. Torkzadeh is always a consummate professional and his success rate is second to none. In my estimation, Mr. Torkzadeh is one of the highest caliber lawyers that I know. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Clients should consider themselves lucky to have him as their attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. Reza is an extremely talented attorney and an impressive advocate for his clients."
