"Bardia is an aggressive attorney who will stop at nothing for his clients. He has a proven track record and puts all his skills to use to get wonderful results for his clients."
"I highly recommend Mr. Bardia Akhavan to anyone facing issues with their employment. I have worked with him on several matters and am always impressed with his outside thinking and professionalism. If there's a way to succeed in holding an employer accountable for their wrongdoings, Mr. Akhavan will find it and will see to it that justice is achieved for his clients."
"Bardia is an incredibly artful and strategic attorney who puts his clients in the best position to pursue their claims successfully. I am grateful to have met Bardia in law school and continue working with him on cases after law school. His clients are very lucky to be represented by him and are undoubtedly in great hands. He understands the law, and articulates his clients experiences and mistreatment in the workplace in a legally sound and full proof way. Bardia raised the bar for all attorneys."
"Bardia is extremely well-versed in his field of law. He is personable and empathetic. But, importantly, he is assertive and aggressive where he needs to be. He is an excellent choice for advocate, lawyer, and counsel."
"I have worked with Bardia on a number of matters and have consulted with him whenever I needed another pair of eyes. I can honestly say that Bardia is brilliant, aggressive, hard-working and truly cares about his clients. He is someone you want on your team and I fully endorse him."
"I've worked with Mr. Akhavan on a number of matters and he's always been on top of everything. He has and always will be a pleasure to work with."
"Working with Bardia has been an absolute pleasure. Bardia has always conducted his practice and professional relationships with compassion and integrity. He is not only very skilled but knowledgeable in employment law. In fact, I frequently consult with him about nuance and difficult legal issues. If you are looking for individualized representation and not your ordinary run of the mill operation, look no further. Bardia approaches each case methodically with a fearlessly calculated attitude to ensure maximum recovery. Bardia is devoted to his clients and takes the time to hear their story, fight their battle, and deliver justice. I highly recommend Bardia."
"I have had the pleasure of knowing Bardia on a personal and professional level, and can attest to his passion for his life’s work, unrivaled advocacy, and zealous devotion to those lucky enough to be called his clients. Bardia is personable and empathetic—understanding the importance of keeping clients comfortable, and fully-apprised of their rights during a stressful employee-employer dispute. However, his amicable nature is not to be mistaken for gentleness. Bardia is a witty, fierce negotiator, and unlike many attorneys (unfortunately), spends the time to deeply digest each of his clients’ cases. As counsel of an interstate company, I regularly consult with Bardia to ensure compliance with employment and labor regulations, in hopes that I can avoid a lawsuit from a high-caliber firm like Akhavan & Associates. He is a 1%’er in my book and I provide my highest recommendation to any prospective client or co-counsel considering Bardia and his team at Akhavan & Associates."
"Mr. Akhavan is not only a dear friend of mine, but someone who I truly admire as an outstanding role model, professional, and advocate of the law, whose brilliance, tenacity, and leadership qualities help separate him from his contemporaries in the field of employment law. Bardia is the epitome of a “people person”, whose interpersonal skills help him excel in conveying his message to people from all walks of life, whether it be articulating his arguments in front of a judge, negotiating settlements with opposing counsel, or building rapport with prospective clients. As an employer and member of the State Bar of California, I frequently ask Bardia for advice regarding the potential impact of employment law in the workplace, and I am never ceased to be amazed at his keen insight, litigation strategies, and attentiveness to detail. It is my privilege and honor to provide my highest recommendation to any prospective client considering Bardia and his team at Akhavan & Associates."
"Bardia Akhavan is everything you want in an attorney- professional, extremely intelligent, compassionate, incredibly responsive and all around a brilliant attorney. I’ve referred a number of clients to him, all of whom had favorable results. I highly recommend Mr. Akhavan for your legal needs."
