One of us used to sit on the other side of the table.
Erik Pogosyan built his career in insurance and public entity defense. He was the attorney carriers hired to evaluate injury claims, find the weaknesses, and hold the payout down. He knows what a claims file looks like from the inside, what a reserve is set at, and what actually moves it.
Valter Malkhasyan comes from the opposite direction, litigating class actions against corporate defendants. Together they run a firm that has seen both sides of the same fight.
Most personal injury firms guess at what the carrier is thinking. We do not have to.

Insurer's first offer: $27,500
The outcomes shown are gross recoveries before attorney fees, costs and medical liens. Every case is different and depends on its own facts, injuries, available insurance coverage and applicable law. Prior results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future matter.
Three steps to get started.
Tell us what happened
Call or send the form. An attorney reviews the facts, the coverage available, and whether you have a claim worth pursuing. This conversation is free and confidential whether or not you hire us.
We take over the phone calls
We notify the carriers, handle every adjuster contact, and help you get to the right doctors. You stop fielding calls and start treating.
We build it and we push
Records, experts, demand, negotiation, and suit if the offer does not reflect the case. You pay us only out of what we recover.
We are down the street, not downtown.

What our clients say.
Erik made this process so smooth and stress free. He was very forthright since our first phone call about exactly how he could help. He never over promised and stayed true to his word.
Best injury attorney in LA hands down. Erik and his office achieved a policy limits settlement on my case within just a few months! Beyond that, I could tell how hard they fought for my case and to get me as much as possible out of the settlement.
Erik provided exceptional service and made what is typically a stressful process feel completely seamless. He and his team were always available to answer my questions and kept me consistently updated throughout the entire process.
These testimonials do not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of your legal matter. They reflect the experience of individual clients. Results depend on the specific facts and law of each case, and no similar outcome is promised or implied.
The things people ask us first.
How do you figure out what my case is worth?
It comes down to three things: what your medical treatment costs now and is likely to cost going forward, what the injury has cost you in wages and earning capacity, and what it has cost you in pain, limitation and daily life. The third is the piece insurers compress hardest and the piece that varies most.
Then there is the ceiling question, which is how much coverage exists to pay it. That is a separate investigation and it is often where the real difference in outcome comes from.
Do I have to come to your office?
Only if you want to. We are at 5320 Laurel Canyon Blvd in Valley Village and you are welcome any time, but if you are not driving yet or you are still in treatment, we will come to you or handle it by phone. Nothing about your case depends on you making the trip.
How much does it cost to hire you?
Nothing up front. We work on contingency, which means our attorney fee is a percentage of what we recover for you. If we recover nothing, you owe us no attorney fee.
Case costs are separate from the attorney fee. Costs are things like filing fees, medical records, deposition transcripts and expert charges. We advance them so nothing comes out of your pocket while the case is running, and they are repaid out of the recovery. Put simply, no fee unless we win.
The exact percentage and the handling of costs are set out in a written fee agreement you review and sign before we start.
How long do I have to bring a claim in California?
For most personal injury claims, California law gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit under Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. Miss it and the claim is generally barred no matter how strong it is.
Some deadlines are much shorter. If a city, county, transit agency or other public entity is involved, you generally have only six months to present a government claim. If a government vehicle or a dangerous road condition played any part in your crash, call today rather than next month.
The other driver's insurance already offered me money. Should I take it?
Talk to a lawyer before you sign or cash anything. Early offers usually arrive before anyone knows the full extent of your injuries, and accepting one typically closes the claim permanently. Reviewing an offer costs you nothing and takes about ten minutes.
What if the crash was partly my fault?
You may still recover. California uses pure comparative fault, which reduces your recovery by your share of responsibility rather than eliminating it. Being found twenty percent at fault does not end your claim, it reduces it by twenty percent. Insurers routinely overstate a claimant's share, which is one of the things we push back on.
Do you handle cases in Spanish?
Yes. Se habla español. Let us know when you call or note it in the form and we will make sure the conversation happens in the language you prefer.
Know what it is worth before you decide.
A free, confidential review. Fifteen minutes tells you whether you have a claim, roughly where it sits, and whether the offer in front of you reflects it. No cost to talk. No fee unless we recover for you.
