Steven R Vartazarian

My wife and I were lucky enough to find Steve Vartazarian soon after he opened his own office, after a successful run with a Beverly Hills firm. There was little interest in the product liability of hip cases in early 2011 when we first approached him. The case was a long and exhausting one for all... concerned as it involved 5 hip replacements, several dislocations, two serious hip infections, eventually ending up with a ‘temporary hip’. It took almost 5 years to get to trial as the defendants moved the case out of the California courts, but Steve kept moving It back and never lost his focus . He has surrounded himself with a small staff of knowledgeable and committed professionals, all of whom performed tirelessly on our behalf. Our case was a milestone, as Steve was the first attorney to bring a specific major manufacturing company to trial. He was totally prepared, with every imaginable detail at his fingertips, and some things no one had considered. We had been impressed with his medical knowledge during our many meetings, but how he used that knowledge in trial was awesome. His cross examinations were lessons in themselves. Seeing him in action was extraordinary. Steve has a confident approach to life, and there’s no challenge he won’t confront. He is fearless in his integrity and his approach to life is ‘do the right thing’. We’re happy to say that he won, against a major legal firm, who threw all of their considerable resources behind their attorneys at trial. We are now in the appeal process, and confident that Steve will prevail.

Steve is our Champion!!! In August 2013 I was in a horrible accident. I was pinned between two cars as a pedestrian and both my legs were crushed. I had several surgeries and it wasn't known if I was going to be able to walk again. After I left the hospital I needed many more surgeries but becau...se I did not have insurance and it was not an emergency I could not find a doctor to treat me. I have a wife and two kids and I thought I was never going to be able to work again. I hired an attorney that was recommended by a friend and after the attorney wrote several letters to the insurance companies I was told that they were not going to pay me anything on my claim. The attorney I hired then got Steve involved. I first met Steve when he came to my house to see how I was doing. After talking to Steve for an hour for some reason I felt like everything was going to be okay. At the time Steve came to my house we didn't know how much insurance coverage the people who hit me had, it could have been only $15,000, but Steve didn't care about the money. He said that his priority was to get me up and walking and then we will figure out the details later. He promised my wife and I that he would make sure that I would get all the surgeries I needed in order to walk again and work again. In the next week, Steve sent me to his orthopedic surgeon to be evaluated. He even came with me to the doctor's appointment. We spent a couple hours together with the surgeon getting x-rays and talking to him about his surgical plan. He said the bones in my left leg had not come together and I needed two lengthy surgeries several months apart to be able to walk again. Steve put a deal together for the doctor to do the surgeries on a lien basis. In the meantime, Steve filed a lawsuit and after a lot of investigation he found that there was $1.9 million dollars in insurance coverage. At the end of 6 months, I had both of my surgeries and Steve settled my case for the entire 1.9 million because they did not want to end up in a jury trial with Steve. My family and I are so grateful to Steve and his wonderful staff for everything they did for me. He is a man of his word, an awesome lawyer, and now a good friend. I can walk again, I can work again, and now I have money to compensate me for the horrible injuries I had. I want to thank Steve so much for always being there, even on weekends, and always taking my call sometime just to talk as I was recovering from surgeries. I recommend Steve to anyone who's been injured especially if the injuries are really bad because sometimes you need more than just a lawyer. You need somebody who is committed, caring, accessible, knows the right doctors and the medicine involved and is also a great lawyer. Steve is truly all of that. My name is David K., and if you want more information please get my number from Steve's office I would be happy to explain the details of the case.

Wow, Steve Vartazarian, has been the most experienced Lawyer I've ever worked with. An Attorney who's experience in BOTH, The Medical side of my injuries, how I was injured, what the impact is, and my damages, plus, the legal "injury" rights! Steve, was introduced to me by a family member, he ca...me to my house, went over my whole file, I felt right about working with him. After I was able to walk, and I took him to meet my Orthopedic surgeon, at first I didn't know how to introduce them together...and make them friends. Steve, introduced himself, and they started talking in "Medical language" about my foot this, broken bones that, back this...(I'm leaving out the medical terms they used, since I don't even know them) I felt so comfortable, I left the room, and allowed them to "communicate" I was sold on Steve, I had never met a lawyer, who has so much Medical knowledge about how tendons, bones, ligaments, and other parts may get injured. After I was well enough to walk around with out any aids. I went over Steve's office, and saw all the Horrific Injuries, photo's and other people whom he had helped. People who had it worst than me, who got hit by semi-trucks....I was a pedestrian hit by a car. I'm grateful, I highly recommend, Steve and his fantastic team. I not only got to work with him, but I had a dedicated team of people helping me, with every step of our process. My Orthopedic Surgeon if you need one that is also 1 in a million -Great doctors that are hard to find. His name is Dr. Farshid Hekmat - He saved my leg!! I'm forever grateful to both, Steve and My Surgeon Dr. Farshid Hekmat. He surgically placed and screwed in all the bones as it never happened. Steve has his contact info, you may Google both, for a Dynamic Team. Dr. Farshid Hekmat is also happy with Steve's work as an attorney. If you have any questions feel free to ask Steve Vartazarian, or Dr. Hekmat for my contact info. I've given them permission to give out my cell phone. -Jonathan.

For some reason, I had what appeared to be a "very difficult" slip and fall case. I walked into a store and fell on a wet floor that had been newly mopped within any warning signs present. I had a bad fall and broke my leg in two places requiring extensive surgeries and metal plating, etc. The attorn...eys I was calling were turning down my case because they said it was my fault that I fell! I couldn't believe it! Finally, one of them referred me to Steve who apparently had several jury verdicts in cases like mine. Without 3 hours of our meeting, Steve retained an expert witness, sent a field investigator to take pictures of the scene where I fell, and made an appointment for me to see his orthopedic surgeon because the hardware in my leg was bothering me. Long story short, a lawsuit was filed within a week, and within 8 months Steve settled my case for mid 6 digits. It was awesome to watch him interact with the defense attorneys and their insurance adjuster. I really thank Steve and his team for the outstanding job they did for me. I will never forget it!

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".
