Highly Recommended

Vic represented me a few years ago due to injuries as a result of a car accident. He, and his team were there for me every step of the way, there was no confusion as to what needed to happen next. They will make sure you're taken care of, and will fight for you. I will absolutely use them again if... anything like that happens to me again.

Trustworthy, knowledgeable lawyer in Newport Beach...Highly recommend!

When I first met Vic Merjanian, I called him and asked him for legal advice regarding a food poisoning case in 2014. I had a severe case of Shigella from a restaurant in Newport Beach and was hospitalized for a couple of days and had to miss a week of school. I was worried because I did not know ho...w I was going to pay for my hospital bills and was very concerned about missing classes during graduate school. When I called Mr. Merjanian for legal advice, he spent at least an hour of his time explaining the process for my specific situation and even forwarded my information to a top food poisoning lawyer who specialized in the current outbreak who knew how to help me. Mr. Merjanian could have easily taken my case for me, but he wanted to make sure I received the best lawyer for my case and put me in great hands. He is a hardworking, honest, intelligent lawyer who truly cares about his clients. I am always skeptical of lawyers in general and believed that some lawyers were only telling me what I wanted to hear, made me feel rushed, and didn't explain the possible outcomes. However, Mr. Merjanian spent a generous amount of his valuable time explaining the steps I needed to take for my individual case and told me step by step what to do next. He was honest about everything and proved to be a great resource in my situation. My hospital bills were taken care of, and I am now about 3 months away from graduating PA school. He was professional and gave sound, accurate legal advice. I trust Mr. Merjanian with his legal advice and would definitely recommend his work to others. Because of his work ethic and honesty, I felt privileged to be able to receive invaluable advice from him, and I know that many other clients are just as pleased with his work. Thanks for looking out for me and showing me you cared.

Vic Merjanian is a great Lawer

I was in a terrible motercycle accident last August. As you can imagine this not only effected my health but also effected everything else in my life. A car blew through a stop sign as I was driving. I woke up 20 feet from the bike in the most pain I have ever felt in my life. When i was taken to the... hospital they told me I had ruptured a disc in my back and it could possibly get worse as I get older. They also said this type of injury could send me to a wheelchair if not dealt with properly. This is about the scariest thing that has ever happened to me. I found Vic online and talked to him. He told me exactly what to expect and how to deal with it every step along the way. Since I had never been through this I was not sure if he was just going through the motions and doing his job or if he honestly cared. He honestly cared and that was the most comforting thing at the start of the process. I had no health insurance and no money to pay for these kinds of bills. When all was said and done him and his firm covered close to 100,000 dollars worth of medical bills and sent me away with 30,000 dollars in my bank account. Before I talked to Vic the other drivers insurance agency wanted to send me away with 8,000 dollars to close the case. Vic laughed and said let me take care of them from here on out. In my situation Vic was a hero and I feel so lucky to have found him. I am in good health now and in a positive frame of mind thanks to him.
