Car Accident 35%

Before representing injured parties, I worked for prestigious firms as an insurance defend attorney. I now represent drivers and passengers who have been injured in vehicle accidents. I use my vast experience as a former insurance defense attorney to serve the interest of my clients. So, I bring a unique perspective in car accident cases because I know how defense attorneys and insurance companies think and I know how they work.

Excellent Service

Mason has been my attorney for over a year helping me with a personal injury case that ocurred last year. Who would have thought that a rear ender would have turned into such a nightmare!? Mason helped me deal with the insurance companies and always is keeping me informed. He is one of the most de...dicated and honest attorneys that I have come across. I would and will recommend him to anyone that needs any legal help.

Mason Rashtian can handle any case - anytime, anywhere

Mason Rashtian is currently handling a difficult accident case for my family. He always acts in the best interest of his client and considers each case to be special. Mason is professional and I trust him very much. I would recommend Mason Rashtian to anyone needing his special skills in negotiation... and protecting his client's rights. I hope I do not need an attorney's assistance again in the future, but if I do, I will go see Mason Rashtian.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
