SPEECHLESS
I dont know how to even start my review because theres not enough words I can say about this exceptional lawyer. 5 stars is not enough to rate Tigran. My case was falling apart at the seams. I lost hope for how my situation will go. 2 close friends to our family spoke highly of Tigran Palyan and reco...

Professional & excellent law firm
This is no exaggeration to say this statement, but the life I lead today is due to Tigran and his excellent law firm. I was dealing with a move away case that could have resulted in my son being taken from me. Tigran was recommended to me via many people and was nothing short of excellence in his wor...

Tigran is a legal coach who has your back.
I met my Lawyer Tigran Palyan at the LA Law Library, at a divorce workshop. The whole encounter felt divinely inspired. After my previous lawyers misled me, were dishonest with their communication, and filed unseen paperwork with the court without my permission, ultimately hurting my case, Tigran was...

AWARD WINNING SUPER LAWYER!
Honestly, I could write a novel on how outstanding Mr. Palyan is as an attorney and how amazing he is as a person. Mr. Palyan's priority is not how many clients he can profit from but rather he takes great pride in working with people who need to be helped and supported in such complicated court proc...
"Tigran is one of the most knowledgeable and competent attorneys I have ever met. His deep background in family law, having worked alongside family law judges, makes him one a top choice for handling family law matters. He is caring and conscientious, and for clients going through divorce or seeking child custody, compassion is what they need. Look no further than Tigran when looking for a family law attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. Tigran is highly respected in the field as he has a wealth of knowledge and experience in Family Law. He is currently at a top, if not the top, family law firm in Southern California. I would definitely rank him amongst the best in his field."
