I’ve been a trial lawyer for nearly half my life. I started working for personal injury law firms when I was a teenager and did so my entire time until becoming a lawyer. I went to Loyola Law School Los Angeles where I was a member of their elite trial team and competed and won regional and national titles. I graduated Cum Laude and Order of the Coif and was the graduation speaker winning numerous academic awards. I had offers from big law that I turned down to pursue a career as a personal injury trial lawyer. Within 6 months of being in practice I was made a partner by the solo attorney I was working for throughout law school. A year and half later, in 2002, I started my own law firm, Ardalan & Associates. It took me a minute to be recognized as a legitimate trial lawyer. In 2009 I hit several record breaking verdicts and got nominated in 2010 by the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles (CAALA) for Trial Lawyer of the Year. Over the years I committed myself to mastering trial practice, studying different genres and approaches, analyzing other great trial lawyers, attending and graduating from the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College in Wyoming, and synthesizing my knowledge into an effective and masterful way of practice. I’m a CAALA Board Member and an Associate level member of ABOTA about to elevate to an Advocate level member. Over the past 15 years, I’ve achieved over 80 seven and eight figure verdicts and settlements, grown my practice to an elite level, and even began my own Trial College where I do personal trial consulting and coaching of trial lawyers and their cases to achieve stellar results. My philosophy is to teach trial lawyers not just a way of doing things, but understanding of what and why they are doing it, and the specific skills they need to develop to be able to handle any situations they face as they litigate and try their cases. Through my teachings I’ve gained insight into the roadblocks and obstacles lawyers place in their own path of success and this allows me to continue my journey to becoming the best trial lawyer and mentor I can be.
Cases are won and lost based on the which side’s story is more believable and convincing. No amount of high paid experts or jury consultants can overcome poor framing and presentation of your case.
