Moral Compass

Ms. Karapetian is a rare mix in the world of practicing lawyers. She is tough, she fights hard for her clients, she is concerned and connected to them and their families, and she is a shining example of integrity and professionalism. She is always prepared and quick on her feet. She leaves no stone... unturned. You can feel confident with your case in her hands. I hope her peers follow her lead. She is a rare feather in the Santa Maria Courthouse's cap. I will forever be grateful to her, as all women in Santa Maria should be.

Professional, Compassionate, and Knowledgeable

Ms. Karapetian did everything she could to help us through a very difficult trial. She is very knowledgeable as a DA and took the time to explain things to us throughout the process. She has great compassion for victims of crimes and their rights. The way she carried herself in the courtroom, as we...ll as her appearance was always top notch professional. I truly could not have asked for a better person to represent us.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
