Well versed in law

From A-Z, Mr. Akhavan was able to recite the necessary law I needed to know for me to make a well-informed decision on which actions to take. I always felt like I was in good hands.

Professional, Polite and a true fighter!

Bardia Akhavan is by far one of the most professional, courteous, and effective attorneys. One of my good friends referred me to Bardia to see what he had to say. Bardia immediately shared remorse with me and got upset at my situation like as if it had happened to him or a family member. He immediate...ly took some notes, looked at my case, and said he would help me. I was shocked! It was not the answer I was expecting after consulting with 2 other attorneys with almost double his age! He immediately started the process and was really honest about everything and even told me it may take a long time to get justice. Bardia Akhavan and his team are hands down the most professional and intelligent employment law attorneys I have ever worked with. I went to two others that didn’t even care a human was sitting in front of them. Bardia actually cared and tirelessly fought for my rights which was unbelievable and I was very happy with the results. Thank you again to you and your team!

Incredible Firm

After endless calls to different firms for my case, Bardia Akhavan was the only attorney who really understood my situation. Bardia took his time to get every single piece of information down, and made sure I was comfortable and at ease during each step of his strategy. His advice and understanding o...f the law was beyond impressive, and would always go out of his way to ensure I understood all aspects of my case, from his approach to winning my case to explaining any legal terminology to me that was unclear. I never felt out of the loop and always felt that Akhavan & Associates were constantly in my corner giving me the best representation one can ask for. I highly recommend Akhavan & Associates to any person. Thank you again for taking my case and the amazing settlement I received!

Diligence

I was involved in a case with other employees who contacted Aaron and his associates. Aaron listened and was genuinely concerned . He put a great deal of time in the case and the outcome reflected all his hard work.

"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."
