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.

Totally Dependable & Highly Recommended

I have been a client of Novian & Novian for over 10 years and consider Farhad Novian as a highly experienced business and corporate litigator. His extensive legal experience and considerable success allows him to apply the most effective legal strategy, resulting in a successful outcome on a wide sp...ectrum of litigation matters. Not only is Farhad easily approachable and a pleasure to work with, he is open to recommendations, astute in his comprehension of changing circumstances that affect strategy, and remains both tireless and completely committed in his efforts to achieve victory for his clients. From my direct experience I can state with conviction that Farhad and his team of attorneys have successfully built a multi-disciplinary practice that any client can trust to serve a company’s highest legal and business interests. I recommend them highly and without reservation.
