ARDALAN & ASSOCIATES WOODLAND HILLS / SAN DIEGO

SMALL FIRM … BIG RESULTS

When Ardalan & Associates commits to a case, its clients can rest assured that they have a legal warrior by their side. This four-attorney firm may be small, but it wields a big sword.

Known for its high-quality representation in the areas of personal injury, criminal defense and family law, Ardalan & Associates is the go-to trial firm for many other local law firms. The firm has secured millions of dollars for clients, including multiple six-and seven-figure verdicts in conservative jurisdictions like Van Nuys and Orange County. Most notably, the firm secured a $4.6 million post-verdict recovery in a premises liability case after turning down a $750,000 pretrial offer.

P. Christopher Ardalan’s mission is to provide those wronged a
level playing field so they can be made whole again. Ardalan,
named to Southern California Rising Stars, understands that
those injured face hurdles on the way to fair compensation. “It’s
not enough to simply prove someone has hurt you to get fairly
compensated these days. A plaintiff in a personal injury lawsuit
has to overcome the deep prejudice many jurors have about
awarding money for such harms, even when the harms were
caused by the careless conduct of others.”
This is why Ardalan has devoted his life to fighting battles
before juries—to help overcome these biases, restore respect
for the profession and make sure that every client gets a fair
chance at justice.

In addition to Ardalan, Taline K. Boyamian, named to Southern California Rising Stars for the second consecutive year, leads the firm’s family law department. Boyamian regularly handles complex and emotional cases, including divorces, child support and custody matters with sensitivity and compassion. She is known and respected as a strong litigator in the legal community.
