So thankful!

Farhad helped me so much and I'm grateful he was my lawyer. I value his sharp mind, his vast knowledge of the law, and the dedication he had for me as his client. I was dealing with several complex legal issues, and Farhad solved all of them in the best manner possible. I recommend Farhad.

Top-Tier LA Law Firm

I cannot offer a more resounding recommendation for Novian & Novian or be more grateful to Farhad Novian & his staff for their exemplary work on my behalf. In September of 2015, a devastating apartment fire caused me to lose nearly everything I had. After having my life endangered, I was left wi...thout a home, clothes, cherished family heirlooms, medication or even car keys. To make matters worse, the apartment property managers attempted to stonewall and manipulate me. I was beyond scared and despondent, for I had been the victim of outlandish negligence, and the people responsible for that negligence were doing everything they could to cover their tracks and even profit on this tragedy. Within one day of emailing Farhad Novian, he began advocating for me with the zeal and conscientiousness that would seem reserved for long-term clients. Since then, he and his staff spent 1.5 years serving as my ardent advocates and buffer against the disgustingly unethical defendants. A lawsuit is an arduous undertaking, and Novian & Novian did all the heavy lifting, thereby enabling me to focus on rebuilding my life. In the end, Novian & Novian facilitated a favorable outcome for me without going to trial. But to my astonishment, they arrived at mediation prepared to go to court! This provided yet another prominent example of their exemplary diligence and commitment to me. There are more than 54,000 attorneys in LA County, but I challenge anyone to identify another firm that would work as hard and as well for an unknown client as Novian & Novian worked for me. Farhad Novian & his staff are the best, both in terms of legal competence and expectation-exceeding care of clients, and I am proud to call Farhad & his staff my attorneys for life. I am forever grateful and unequivocally recommend this exceptional firm.

The best of the best.

Farhad Novian, Esq. of Novian & Novian LLP in Los Angeles, CA is a true legal talent when it comes to bolstering careers, monetizing intellectual property assets and defending the rights of creative professionals such as myself. He is a fierce defender of the word of the law, even in regards to less ...tangible industries such as art/design-based trademarks and patents. As my attorney, he has helped me to address the root of a handful of complex issues, always keeping the fruit of the future in mind with regards to protective action and proactive measures. I have appreciated his thorough attention to detail, clear and lightning-fast communication and keen mind of experience. He does it all while maintaining the mindfulness to call in second and third opinions of experts, as he helped me to build a realistic and savvy business model. He is highly adept at communicating with opposing parties and will stand for nothing less than a correct and positive outcome. I consider him the best of the best. Hannah

Great honest lawyer

I had a hard time finding a lawyer I could trust for a privacy issue. Farhad Novian and his team were beyond helpful, responsive and trustworthy. They gave me piece of mind and helped settle my case in a timely manner. I highly recommend Farhad Novian and his team.

Trademark / Intellectual property case.

This was a trademark / intellectual property case involving actual retail products. My company was the plaintiff. I was represented by another firm for 2 years. The case was dragging on, costs escalating and we were being manipulated by the opposing firm. At a crucial moment in time, I made a strateg...ic decision to hire and move the case to Farhad and the Novian and Novian team. Immediately they went on the offensive and took charge of the case. The opposing law firm instantly understood it was " Game on" and we were not going to bullied, delayed or manipulated. Farhad and his team prepared a fierce strategy then tactically executed the plan. They recommended the appropriate experts, and were aggressive in proactive filings. Within a reasonably short period of time the other side agreed to a settlement conference before a retired judge. The case was settled at the settlement conference. I very much appreciate everything that Farhad and the Novian and Novian team for me. I highly recommend them.
