He's the best trial lawyer you will ever hire!

Ara was there for me at one of the hardest times in my life.
I was hit by a car riding my bicycle and suffered a spinal cord injury and many broken bones.
He worked with my insurance company to help me receive what I had owed to me. He also worked as a go between Kaiser and my insurance agency to get everything covered!
He has since helped my friends and family with their law needs and I would recommend him without hesitation.
Thanks Ara you are really great at what you do!

Thank you for representing me with my car accident! Very professional, knowledgeable, and quickly responded to all my questions.

Ara is an excellent attorney. Ara represented my father after he was hit by a car and suffered severe injuries. We selected Ara from a deep list of potential lawyers based on his personal injury experience and track record, which is incredibly impressive.

Ara was extremely effective at building my father's case. Before he got involved, the insurance company was looking to settle for a pittance. Ara immediately brought in a team of highly-qualified experts who documented the severity and extent of my father's injuries, and then quantified the damages, as well as pain and suffering and impact to quality of life. Then, Ara executed a comprehensive trial and negotiation strategy which ultimately yielded a very just outcome for my father.

Ara is very intelligent, professional and extremely hard-working. Unlike the typical law firm, where cases like my father's would usually be given to more junior, unseasoned staff, Ara was personally focused on the case. He worked tirelessly at every step of the process, ensuring expert witnesses were well-prepared, and preparing and filing all the legal briefs and relevant documentation. His hands-on and pragmatic approach meant that we were always well-informed.

Last, Ara is a true friend. He is respectful and very sympathetic. It was a pleasure to work with Ara. He is our lawyer for life.

In October of 2016, I was chased by an aggressive dog which caused me to fall off my bike resulting in two fractures and a torn ligament. As the weeks passed I started to develop Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. CPRS is a debilitating, pain condition that can result from an injury. CRPS is characterized by prolonged or excessive pain and changes in skin color, temperature, and/or swelling in the affected area. Due to the development of this condition, I ended up in a in a wheelchair and on crutches wondering if I would ever walk again. At the urging of friends and my family physician, I was advised to seek counsel. Ara Jabagchourian was highly recommended to me by a local, prominent attorney. From my first contact with Ara, I knew I would be in good hands. He is a very thorough, competent, articulate and consummate professional who always had my best interest in mind. My case, from beginning to end, took sixteen months and during this time I was continuously informed and kept up to date every step of the way via phone calls and emails. Ara always made a point of inquiring about the progress of my condition and encouraged me to stay on course. When I finally started walking again, Ara remained steadfast in his goal of seeking compensation for my personal injury case. During my settlement hearing, I was impressed with Ara’s brilliant negotiating skills, his expertise and his ability to remain calm and courteous during an intense settlement conference. I was very happy with my representation and the outcome of my case. I truly believe that without Mr. Jabagchourian’s representation I would have never received the substantial settlement that I deserved. Ara Jabagchourian, you are truly a credit to your profession, and your integrity and character will remain unprecedented!! Thank you!

In November of 2018, I was involved in a serious 5 car accident. I suffered 3 broken cervical vertebrae and a dislocated neck. My surgery and recovery was extremely painful. After speaking with family and friends, I was convinced I needed to seek the advise of an attorney. Through a good attorney friend who practices in Hawaii, Ara Jabagchourian and 2 other attorneys were recommended. After meeting with them, it was easy to choose the right attorney to represent me. Ara’s straight forward approach, style of communication, self-confidence and professionalism won me over.

During the settlement that carried on for over a year, Ara kept me well-informed of the details. He was always very accessible by phone, email and text messages even on the weekends. There was never a time where Ara didn’t respond promptly. Ara’s negotiating skills with the insurance companies made the difference in the outcome of a higher settlement amount.

Ara also became a good friend and even guided my husband through a small claims court case. With Ara’s guidance, my husband easily won his case. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Ara for your law needs.

After several months of getting no where with the city of San Mateo, A family friend whose sibling is a sitting judge in the county referred me to Ara. He took on the case and went to work.

While working the case up, The city tried getting the case thrown out on a motion. Not only did ARA get
the briefing done in an efficient and effective manner, I had the opportunity to watch him actually argue
the motion. ARA was able to command that courtroom that day. It was like watching T.V.. He first gave a brief introduction of the case. Then systematically, he took apart the cities arguments one-by-one.
It was not only what he was arguing, but how he argued that caught everyone’s attention in the courtroom.
His fluid style, with sprinklings of sarcasm, kept the judge engaged. Not only did he have command of the facts, he had a command of the law which gave him credibility with the judge when she asked him questions. The attorney for the city never got off her seat after Ara’s arguments/performance.

ARA kept me informed about my case and what was going on every step of the way. He would return my phone calls in 10 minutes if he didn’t answer the phone when I called regardless what time of day including weekends. If he was on another call he would let me know by text he would call me when he was done. I’ve gotten to know him for the year and a half we spent working on the case together. I can truly say unequivocally he’s a Strong and a Phenomenal Lawyer.

If you even think you have a case, contact him. He is honest, experienced and won’t waste your time (or his) if you have no case. Based on my experience, Having a lawyer like Ara can make the difference that tilts the case in your favor.

Ara assisted me with a case in San Mateo County. He was very professional and made sure to explain every step of the process. He made me feel very comfortable and continually provided me with updates on my matter. Not only was he punctual but he always arrived at least 30 minutes before our hearings. Ara made it a point to thoroughly explain the current status of my case and discussed what steps we were going to take to get my case resolved. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great attorney.

My wife and I were involved in a severe auto-accident. Ara was referred to us by a family friend. He was easy to communicate with and very accessible.

Ara worked the case up to trial, when the other driver's insurance finally paid the policy limits.

After this, we had issues related to our business. I called up Ara and he solved it with a letter and a phone call. He has become our family lawyer and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for either a personal injury or business attorney.
