My experience with Steven Vartazarian’s has been exemplary!

As a potential Plaintiff for a Medical Malpractice case, my personal experience with Steven Vartazarian’s has been exemplary. His honest appraisal of my life situation pre-empted pursuing a case. During our first meeting I felt my interests as a prospective client were paramount. We collaboratively ...explored all my options, medical, legal and future life situations. He provided a clear, down to earth, comprehensive assessment of all aspects I needed to consider in order to make an informed choice. Following our discussion, with his sound guidance and recommendations, and with considerable soul searching, I elected to forgo pursuing a questionable case. Steven’s forthright honest appraisal regarding my potential case enabled me move forward. For future legal advice, with honest recommendations, he’ll be the first person I call. Thank you very much.

Knowledge combined with Kindness

After being turned down by several other lawyers, I was pretty much expecting the same with Steve Vartazarian. But to my surprise he listened carefully by phone and then asked to meet me for a consultation. I immediately felt comfortable talking with Steve. I could see that he cared. My whole case to...ok just under a year from start to finish. I was kept updated throughout this process and any questions that I had were answered immediately. If I was to need a lawyer again, I would definetly call Steve. My family and friends have already been given contact information for Steve in case they have a need for a good, thorough and considerate lawyer. Don't hesitate to give this lawyer a call to see if he can help you too!

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.

A BRILLIANT MIND, TRUSTWORTHY, DEDICATED COUNCIL -ONE OF A KIND

Mr. Vartazarian is a brilliant lawyer and he is a true gift to the legal profession. I highly recommend that you hire him as he is the real deal. Our case is extremely complex and required consistent diligence and extensive research. He took over our case after our prior lawyer found it impossibl...e. We substituted Steve Vartazarian in and he immediately prevailed. He walked into this case with only 3 days to respond, used his weekend to answer and immediately convinced the other parties to drop their motion so we could move forward. He not only took over the case, cleaned it up and to this date has prevailed. Although he is a lawyer, he is not an egomaniac, but truly kind sensitive and listens to us with respect. He has answered all our concerns and questions. We have been blessed to have found him. He lays out your options and makes sure that you fully understand his representation of you. Not just what it, but why. Steve is not just a lawyer, he is a honest, genuine human being. He made us feel part of and always kept us advised of his process and solutions. Steve is extremely detailed oriented and precise in his judgment and strategy. I found his energy level exceptional and is carrying us through one of the most difficult situations one could imagine. His confidence level is great, and his team is exceptional and responsive. He has been nothing but charming, and trustworthy. Steve Vartazarian is a true go-getter and I am 100% confident that we could not have found a more exceptional value in the legal profession. Our case is still in process and I have no doubt that his representation and support could not be found elsewhere.

"Steve is a straight shooter head on tackle approach trial attorney who does not play by the insurance companies' games. I wouldn't trust anyone else to take my cases to trial as lead attorney other than Steve Vartazarian. If you're building your trial team for the next major personal injury case Steve Vartazarian is your lead trial attorney. To date, working as a team with Steve Vartazarian resulted in numerous awards and settlements substantially above pre-trial offers. You can put 100% of your trust and confidence in his office"

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"
