Steve helped us win our case!

Steve took on my Mom's case when other lawyers said that it would be difficult to near impossible. After review, he said that he would take it on and do more research to see how he could help. He was willing to put in the time and effort to thoroughly analyze our case. To be quite honest, I was disco...uraged after talking with so many other lawyers that turned the case down. Steve and his team were amazing. Professional, prompt, respectful, sensitive, and timely. I was well informed throughout the entire process and they made me feel very comfortable. I can't say enough great things about Steve and his team. They helped us win our case in the end. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Brilliant, Compassionate, and a man of Integrity! Steve Vartazarian will give 100% to your Case!!!

My case was in no way a big money case, but what happened was devastating to me. During my first consultation with Steve I was brought to tears when he agreed to take my case. Even though the odds of success seemed to be stacked against me, he didn't let that stop him. This is a lawyer who doesn't s...hy away from a challenge, in fact, he welcomes it! If Steve is on your side you can be sure anything and everything will be done for you and your case. Between Steve, and his associate Nareg Bardakijian, I couldn't have asked for better representation. These are lawyers that actually care about you, fight for you, and give you the best advice you could ever have. This is the best personal injury litigation law firm out there. I am so thankful for all they have done for me!,,,,,

Talk To Steve If You've Had An Accident

I talked with several attorneys and law firms before contacting Steve. He reviewed my case, and, although it was not a huge case, he was interested in it, he said, as much for the case as to help me. Ultimately, I decided, and Steve respected my decision, to drop the case. I felt, in retrospect, ...that the return would not justify Steve's effort or mine. Throughout the discussions as to how the case would be pursued, Steve was supportive and intuitive with respect to how the defendant would respond. I am confident that, had we gone ahead, the case would have been conducted aggressively and successfully. I appreciated his support and his willingness to proceed. If you've had an accident, Steve is your "go to guy".

Personal Injury Trial

Steve is just amazing!!! He represented me in PI trial and we got everything we worked so hard for. Jury absolutely loved him, judge loved him and defendants absolutely hated him for making their defense vanish into a thin air. Who wouldn't want to have a lawyer like that? His kindness and sense of ...humor just brightens your day and a knowledge and confidence makes you feel supported all the way. When we first met I was deep inside an emotional hole after the accident and first lawyer dropping my case without a notice and Steve made me look at it from a positive point of view and for next 6 months my confidence only grew. Ohhh and his presentation of evidence is pure art! Steve always listens to you and asks you if in your opinion something should be added/removed to/from case/evidence/statements. He doesn't make it look like he's the know-it-all (like other lawyers do) which is absolutely wonderful. So, once again, who wouldn't want a lawyer like this by your side?

The Best of the Best!

My legal battle was with a local government agency and I needed an attorney who was smart, aggressive and sharp. Steven Vartazarian was all of that and more. He understands how his opponents thinks, thus shattering their approach each and every time. He's the type of attorney that once he sinks hi...s teeth into a case, he will not let go. Steven Vartazarian is a fighter and I was very happy with the result of my case. I was also impressed with his partners and staff. They are polite, professional and very knowledgeable. If you want an attorney to 'nail-it' and take care of business, the Steven Vartazarian law firm is the firm for you.

"Steve is a straight shooter head on tackle approach trial attorney who does not play by the insurance companies' games.

Personal injury lawyer | Apr 04

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I am a CA personal injury attorney who has worked with Steve on some difficult automobile accident, products liability and premises liability cases. He is extremely knowledgeable about law and medicine and he has excellent verbal and written communication skills.. Steve has a reputation with the opposing side as being a skilled trial lawyer who works up his cases properly and who will advocate and fight for his clients without being afraid to try a case. His reputation, coupled with his knowledge of injuries and causation from his years of experience as a Medical Malpractice attorney, strengthens his ability to prove and argue a case with the adjusters, defense counsel or even in front of a jury. If you are a personal injury attorney looking for an awesome trial lawyer to partner up with, I highly recommend that you call Steve"
