Levon Z. Derkalousdian

In August 2025, at 70 years old, after six years at my job and a 40‑year career in nonprofit marketing, I was suddenly and unfairly terminated despite stellar reviews. I was escorted out within an hour, a traumatic and humiliating experience unlike any prior layoff in my career. A friend recommended ...Shegerian Conniff, and from my first call with Kayla I felt calm, supported, and truly heard. She reviewed my timeline and interviewed me with compassion and expertise, immediately recognized the strength of my case. The firm developed a clear and powerful legal strategy. Levon negotiated fiercely on my behalf, always keeping me informed and respecting my perspective, leading to a swift outcome better than I could have imagined. My experience with Shegerian Conniff was exceptional from start to finish.

I worked for a major company, and when I became pregnant, I suffered through severe complications, and when I requested accommodations, the employer failed to accommodate me and instead fired me right before I had my baby, leaving me homeless. I was about to give up because I spoke to so many attorne...ys who didn't take my case. When I spoke with Shegerian Conniff, they listened and were very sympathetic. They understood the gravity of my situation and offered a glimmer of hope in a dark time. With their support and expertise, I felt empowered to fight back and seek justice for the wrongs I had endured. My attorney, Levon, communicated with me the entire time via text or call. Levon made sure I was always informed about the progress of my case and the next steps we needed to take. This level of communication reassured me that I wasn't alone in this fight and that we were in it together, ready to tackle whatever challenges lay ahead. Levon was compassionate throughout a very stressful period of my life. Levon fought aggressively, and I am very pleased with the outcome. Levon, Kayla, and the entire staff thank you so much for your hard work. I highly recommend Shegerian Conniff!

I worked 20 years with my employer. I got injured and suffered from medical issues, I was treated differently and then got fired immediately (wrongful termination)after coming back from a leave of absence.  It’s been a very stressful few years going through the process. But I was in good hands with L...evon and his team at Shegerian Conniff My experience with Levon was excellent. I was pleased with the results in my case. It was a pleasure working with his team knowing they had my back. They were very strategic in detailed documentation making sure that deadlines were met, especially when they needed discovery or info from me . If I didn’t understand something, a quick email or text message and was always followed up within a 24 hr period. The team was very professional, empathetic, and passionate always available to explain the process. If you want results Levon is “The Best”. Thank you and wish you much success

I had a very difficult case where I was sexually harassed by my supervisor and then wrongfully terminated after making complaints. From the beginning, working with Levon was a tremendous relief during such a stressful time. He was extremely knowledgeable about the law and walked me through every ste...p of the process so I always felt informed. He was also communicative, promptly answering my questions and making sure I understood what was happening. What stood out the most was his compassion—he truly cared about what I was going through and treated me with respect and empathy throughout. At the same time, he was also very aggressive in fighting for me, which gave me confidence that my case was in the right hands. This was one of the most difficult experiences of my life, but having Levon on my side made all the difference. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney who is not only highly skilled, but also supportive and dedicated to their clients.

I worked at a well-known medical center for many yesrs with no issues, but when my diabetes began to flare up and I took a 3 month leave of absence due to acute kidney failure, I was fired for a false reason just months after I returned to work. I was devasted and so depressed because I loved my job ...and felt like I was treated less than because of my disability. Luckily, I was referred to Levon through a mutual friend and contacted him and his firm. Levon made a very scary process for me feel like a breeze. Levon was my biggest advocate and fought for me every step of the way. He reassured me when I was feeling the lowest I ever felt in my life. He took every detail of my case very seriously and communicated everything very clearly with me. He interviewed witnesses, fought aggressively for me, and my case was resolved so quickly! If you need an aggressive yet compassionate attorney, Levon is your guy!
