This is who you want on your team! He didn't even work in the area of law that I inquired about but he still took 10 minutes to call me, and provide some insight. Most attorneys will barely give you 10 minutes once you've paid them 5k.. Seriously a stand up and caring attorney which is IMPORTANT. read more

Art was a pleasure to work with. He took the time to answer my questions and send me updates on our case. As you all know, these lawsuits take years to resolve, thankfully he was able to assist with the mediation and get us to an agreeable resolution. I would recommend working with him - he has the right experience dealing with HOAs and insurance companies. Thanks again, Art! read more

I can't recommend Artin enough! He's thorough, fair, compassionate, and willing to fight for his clients. My husband and I had to sue our HOA, which felt like a huge and scary process, but once we hired Artin, it became clear that our case was in the hands of a capable expert. Thanks to Artin's hard work and perseverance, not only did our HOA complete the repairs we needed, but we recouped all our out-of-pocket expenses. read more

Mr. Gholian was extremely helpful in assisting me in resolving my case against my HOA. He remained in contact with me throughout the process and explained everything thoroughly along the way. His fees were very reasonable as well. read more

Very quick and responsive. This man knows his stuff and moved our issue with our HOA towards resolution in a cost-effective and professional manner. Responses to our questions were clear. He also was already aware of the HOA's management company because he had had prior delaing with them, so I felt that was a good thing too. read more

Art Gholian is an excellent attorney and a great person. He is extremely knowledgeable, attentive, reassuring, and works hard to get excellent results. He is a true professional and I trust him completely. He is also very fair when in comes to attorneys fees. Art Gholian truly cares about his clients. read more

We highly recommend Artin Gholian. We had a bad water leak coming from the inside of a wall (common wall) in our condo and it was clearly the responsibility of the HOA. We are so grateful that we had Artin. He has so much experience and knowledge. He helped us tremendously and was very responsive. He made you feel like you were his only client. We knew were we were in the best hands and we were right! read more

I just called Art Gholian, who spent 20 minutes on the phone giving me free advice on a HOA case that I am considering litigation for. He cut right to the chase and give me his clear legal analysis on my situation and what my damages would be and my potential to recover those damages. There are a lot of phony HOA law firms in southern California that only are trying to make legal fees off you and won't give you a straight answer to basic questions about damages. Art is not one of those firms - he is legit and will represent you well. read more

Art Gholian helped me get reimbursement for damages that were caused by plumbing issues in common areas of the building. The HOA was refusing to reimburse my damages. Art walked me through gathering all the required documents and despite resistance from HOA, we were successful in getting reimbursed. I will recommend him to anyone who is in similar situation and need an experienced HOA lawyer. read more

Thank you!! From our first phone call, throughout the process of getting compensation for the damage to my condo, Artin was great. His professionalism and knowledge of the process and HOA laws resulted in a very positive outcome for me. read more

Awesome experience. Spoke to the attorney over the phone and he was polite, knowledgeable and straight forward. Felt comfortable that I can ask anything and get some honest answers. Too bad I don't have a big case for him since mine is majority small claims. But would recommend to others. read more

Would give zero stars. This lawyer was very polite to me at first when he took my case on, then started talking down to me & acting like my questions were stupid. Degrading. Very angry person, but he'll put on an act at first. Not sure if it's because I'm a woman or he talks down to everyone. After 5 months of representing me, he stopped working on my case because he didn't feel like I trust him. I don't. I don't need to trust u, I need you to do the job u said you'd do for me, & u didn't. Don't waste your time hiring this guy who will probably treat you like your questions are stupid, then drop your case after 5 months. I spent my own money getting the mold reports for him that he told me to get. What a waste of my $. Rude person- get to know him & see. read more

Art did an amazing job for me in a condo with extensive water damage. The HOA and the neighbor above were extremely negligent as far as addressing plumbing issues. Both parties didn't want to take any responsibilities for the water damage in my unit that they were clearly responsible for. I had lost a significant amount of money addressing the repairs. Art with the evidence I provided was able to address it and get a settlement in under a year to get the funds reimbursed for the repairs I had to make. I highly recommend Art especially when it comes to HOA and Water Loss disputes. read more

I had a difficult issue that I needed legal advice on. During the process, I spoke with several lawyers (and paid for consults) from various 'prestigious' firms. Through my hunting online, Artin kept popping up with glowing reviews. On contacting him, he was the only lawyer who responded quickly, didn't have a 'case worker' half listen to my issues and then promise me a call back. He was able to come up with a simple yet strong strategy to help us defend ourselves. He keeps things to the point, removes the fluff and focuses on a single aggressive yet realistic line of attack. He's not there to bill you hours of legal fees going back and forth, he wants to get you the best result with a concise plan. Artin goes to town on helping out people who are being marginalized, bullied or harassed. He clearly loves the challenge of taking down the bullies and helping out those who feel helpless. We'll be using him as we continue to navigate our issues and I would have no hesitation recommending him to anyone who is struggling with issues due to homeowner rights. read more

My condo got flooded from unit above me. HOA vendors came and did the demolition to remove drywall and they destroyed the counter tops and cabinets, so they can put antifungal and dried out with dehumidifier. But HOA don't want to put my kitchen together. Art Gholian really help me out step by step how to handle HOA, HOA management company, HOA insurance company, I was able to get all amounts I spent to fix the kitchen. Artin Gholian is a thorough professional, very articulate, and knowledgeable. Excellent job done, really appreciated. Ali Barkatally Condo owner read more

Art is amazing! I had a personal injury claim against a gym, and a family member highly recommended him to me. Upon meeting him, he was very personable and understanding. He heard my claim and decided to represent me. The suit was filed in January 2019, it took many months of back and forth with the gym's insurance company before we got any where with them. Art was patient throughout the entire experience. Explaining every step of the way what to expect, what everything meant and the next actions we needed to take. After over a year of this back and forth, we finally had a deposition date and a court date. He prepared me thoroughly for the deposition, and despite my nervousness, it all went smoothly. After the depo, we heard back from the insurance company and they decided to settle. That took some back and forth, with Art advising me throughout all of it. We finally came up with an agreeable settlement, and the case was closed! Whoohoo! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for representation from someone who cares. Give him a call! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would have!!! Called Gholian Law Group today about a dispute I am having with a restoration company that "repaired" water damage to my home. Long story short, the restoration company are scam artists trying to bilk my insurance by claiming their scope of work is 8x what it should be. Art picked up the phone, and from the very onset of my call, he was knowledgeable about the space, explaining this is a common tactic by these types of companies. Additionally, (and more importantly to me), he showed a level of passion that I would want any attorney representing me to have. You definitely feel that Art will do everything in his power to help and assist if you were to retain his services. I highly, highly recommend Gholian Law Group for any needs that would require a qualified, consummate, and professional attorney! read more

I just got off the phone with Artin. We ultimately decided that it wouldn't be in both of our best interests for him to take on my case but he took the time to explain better options and even refer me to someone who would be able to help. Going with this other option will (hopefully) avoid litigation and get my issues resolved even faster. I do need to file a lawsuit, Artin will be my first call. Whatever your HOA problem is, give him a call! He'll either take care of it for you or map out a plan to the best possible resolution. read more

I was referred to Art Gholian because we were being sued by our HOA and we needed legal representation. Art learned early on in our initial phone conversation that our court case was filed in a county Art could not represent us in. Knowing that he still spent the time to hear the facts and details of the case and gave us great advice. We immediately contacted our homeowners insurance company and State Farm ended up taking on our case and covering all our legal fees. THANKS ART FOR THE GREAT ADVICE! read more

During kitchen restoration we had 20+ gallons of grey water back up into our freshly painted condo, under our new floor, and into the hallway carpet outside our front door. Apparently, our unit has a history of this happening; which was not disclosed to us either by the seller or the property management company prior to purchase, even though we asked verbally and in writing. My husband and I called the Gholian Law Group because we were seeking advice on pursuing legal action against our HOA and the Property Management Company that maintains our building. Art Gholian was extremely knowledgeable and understanding regarding these types of situations! He spoke to us candidly about what our options were. If you find yourself in a similar situation, we strongly suggest you call the Gholian (with an "h") Law Group in Sherman Oaks! read more

"If you are a condo homeowner and have encountered water leaks and water intrusion from common HOA property & plumbing into your individual unit, Art should be on your speed dial immediately. He has helped me through one of my most difficult and terrifying times in my life, battling an HOA to be held accountable for its negligence in maintaining common area property. At first, as a condo homeowner, many may not know or understand the legal aspects of the CC&Rs and By-Laws from the HOA, but Art took the time to explain to me how an HOA is responsible for common area maintenance and if an HOA is neglecting maintenance and it affects your individual unit, an HOA must be held accountable. (You will need to have your attorney first review these documents to make sure you can legally hold an HOA responsible, every CC&Rs will be slightly different on how an HOA is governed) If you encounter a negligent HOA, and if you have evidence and facts to support this, Art will be on top of the hill holding an HOA responsible and he won't give up until they are held accountable to its full extent, so you as the homeowner can have your property built back as whole again as stated in the CC&Rs. As a homeowner, I highly recommend documenting every event with photos, videos, emails sent to an HOA etc - this all serves as evidence to help Art win your case. At the beginning, it can be very overwhelming and stressful - Art guided me through all the necessary steps and made me feel very confident about his decisions and steps throughout the entire process. I almost gave up and Art was the one that gave me more confidence, insurance and patience to carry through. I must admit, not many attorneys will have this type of care for his or her client. He tells you the facts straight on, what is and isn't relevant to the case and is honest with you about what can happen and explains it to you in a manner that you can understand. Litigation is not fun, nor easy to understand, but that is why you hire Art. I will recommend Art to anyone I know who owns a condo. Art is your man and I am forever grateful to have Art through this process. Oh and by the way, if you haven't guessed, Art won the case for me, we obtained a favorable result and settlement including money for repairs and reimbursements. As the homeowner, I finally had my property built back to meet standard building codes and to prevent any future property damage. I could not have survived this event if I didn't find Art. This attorney is one of a kind, caring, trustful, experienced, highly knowledgeable about HOA law and is not afraid to stand up against HOAs that bully homeowners. I highly recommend Art and he deserves 100 starts on yelp. Thank you Art for helping me have a successful outcome! You have to call Art at The Gholian Law Group because this is when you can be put at ease and have confidence that he will do the best of his ability and power to have an HOA be held accountable for their negligence actions" read more

Art deserves more than 5 stars!!! I am so grateful I found him to represent me against my HOA. I was struggling with a battle against my HOA for an issue they were not fixing that was out of my control and I was being treated like a tenant not an owner by this slumlord HOA. I finally decided I needed to take legal action against them and started calling up some HOA lawyers to see if I had a case. The first few I came across I spoke with the receptionists and they wanted to charge $300+ just for a 15min consultation with the lawyer to see if I even had a case or not. So I kept on looking until I found Art! He not only spoke to me directly, he listened to my issues and told me straight up if I had a case or not without even asking for money! Throughout the whole process he was informative, had great communication, said it how it was and went above and beyond to get these greedy HOA what they deserve! He fights for you, he cares for you, he is the best of the best! There are not enough words to explain and describe how good Art is and I am extremely grateful to have found him - as not only has he made them resolve the issue, he also fought hard to get me the best settlement! If you need a HOA attorney, don't look any further- you need Art!!! read more

Art is an excellent attorney. After a pipe burst under my condo, the HOA became completely responsive and I was running around in circles with the insurance company. Eventually, I reached out to Art and immediately felt comfortable. He is quite experienced in HOA matters and took a systematic approach to resolve my case. Most importantly, Art is very responsive over both phone and email. Eventually, we reached a settlement that allowed me to recoup all of my costs. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who needs an attorney. read more

Water leaks from the unit above damaged my unit's bathroom and surrounding areas. The upstairs owner did not take responsibility and I had to repair and restore my unit at my own expense, even though I had nothing to do with causing the leak. I hired Artin Gholian and he fought for me. After demands for reimbursement were rejected, Art filed suit and litigated my case until we got a just settlement. Art covered the attorney fees, recouped all of my restoration costs and even advanced the fees for subpoenas and mediation. If your condo was water damaged, and it's not your fault, I strongly recommend hiring Artin Gholian. read more

Artin Gholian of Gholian Law Group is impeccable in his area of law. If you plan to file suit, you definitely want a lawyer of his caliber, knowledge, and professionalism. My condo was damaged by a common area water leak. Demo and remediation were performed, but the HOA refused to build back my unit to pre-water damage condition. Before I contacted Artin, I was already feeling defeated, but once we spoke, my fears were put to rest. He represented me and filed suit against my HOA. The HOA attorney was definitely no match for Artin, and through mediation, he was successful in getting me a fair settlement that would cover all of my build back expenses and fees. Throughout the process, Art was completely transparent, forthcoming, and was always available via phone and email to answer any questions or address my concerns. He came highly recommended and it's not surprising that he is well known and respected among his peers. If you want a phenomenal attorney, contact Artin Gholian. read more

Lawyer - one who is proficient in an area of law, an advocate. Art Gholian of Art Gholian Law Group is the most qualified advocate that I've ever had to work with (and it has been many). Though my case may not have seemed as important to some (master bathroom flooded from the upstairs unit and no one taking responsibility in fixing it), Art Gholian took my case seriously. This incident was more than just a property damage claim as it affected my health and healing process after surviving a life-threatening illness. He was open, honest, organized, clear on the merits of the case, and communicative about the process involved...and lastly, wise. Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. William Saroyan I don't know of Art Gholian's failures, but I do know that his kindness and expertise made for a successful outcome. I highly recommend him. read more

I would give Mr. Gholian 10 out of 5 if I could. He promptly returned my call the same day regarding a planned common interest development matter.

Husband and I were first time homebuyers and got completely screwed over by our agent, sellers agents, sellers and the lender. Home additions were not disclosed and all parties passed it off as if they were permitted. We found out as we tried to refinance and couldnt. We went through CAR and BRE, even the city and no one would help us. We just had our first child and our home was falling apart due to illegal add on's. I literally called about 50 attorneys and none were willing to help, I finally found Art and he took our case. He fought for us for almost 4 year, he knew we were a new family just trying to get by and do the right thing by getting the house permitted. We went to court and he was able to get the other party to settle and pay for the damage we caused. We are now in the process of remolding and making it right. Without Art we would be in debt trying to get our home up to code. We are beyond grateful and always recommend Art to all our friends and family for his honestly and hard work. Thank you Art read more

I had a major main water pipe burst into the first floor of my condominium in Pasadena, that made the entire condominium uninhabitable. HOA refused to acknowledge that the problem is a main line, putting the entire responsibility on individual homeowners. After claiming that it's not the responsibility of the HOA, the "president" refused to talk or answer calls. I was never faced with this kind of lawlessness, feeling completely helpless. I was referred to Art Gholian. After learning the situation, Art agreed to take the case. I can't describe the feeling of relief and appreciation when he agreed to take the case. That feeling never changed in the process. He did an incredible job dealing with a very difficult HOA "president" who refused to give up and tried very hard to fight back, including hiring his own attorney. Art remained extremely patient and confident knowing exactly what he is dealing with. He gave me best advise in the process, patiently "educating"me about it, and communicating regularly with any update. He showed understanding and respect for my own professional duties and made the process of collecting documents etc. as easy as possible. After learning additional details about the case and the effect of the situation on the most vulnerable members of my family, Art also showed his human understanding and compassion in the case. The case was settled in my favor. Artin Gholian is extremely knowledgeable, competent, ethical, fair and approachable attorney. He will definitely fight for you. I was fortunate to be represented by his firm. read more

Definitely would recommend Art to anyone that is having problems with their HOA. I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to say about my personal issue with my association, but Art was able to resolve my problem in a manner that was favorable to me. Art always kept me up to date on what was going on with my case, and was very straight forward. If your HOA has been trying to take advantage of you, and you want them to get their just deserts, please contact Art right away. I've already referred people his way, and I will continue to do so in the future. Thanks again Art! read more

I called several attorneys for help. Most of them gave me a little information and wanted to charge me to get started and further detail the process. I then called Gholian Law Group and spoke with Art. Art gave me a general idea for what I can expect from this case. He explained the possible options so I could know where I stand. He was knowledgeable about law. He even gave me an example of a case that was similar to mine so that I would understand more the process I could go through, and what I was dealing with. This helped put my mind at ease. I am happy with Arts services. I got what I wanted, and really appreciate his support. Thank you Art for helping me all the way through! read more

I was referred to Art through a contractor and thank goodness I was told about him! I was in a terrible situation and was being taken advantage of. Art listened to me carefully and was able to immediately assure me that I had done nothing wrong. He completely took charge and immediately made my life less stressful. We won our lawsuit and the results were very good. Art was super helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. I can not say enough good things about him! read more

After fighting with HOA for many months regarding water damage to our condo, and getting no where....we engaged Artin and never looked back. Things started moving forward. Artin guided us forward with great advice and got us the settlement that we needed. Just got back into our totally renovated condo. Thanks Artin, hugely appreciated. read more

I was lucky to find Art when I couldn't get my HOA to perform repairs to my unit that were caused by common area failures. Art worked on commission and handled our case proactively and professionally until we were able to settle the matter. He was knowledgable and helpful in guiding us and explaining the legalities of the situation. He is aggressive in his approach, but I think that is what's needed in cases like these. It's not fun to be in a dispute with your HOA but, if you are, I would recommend Art. read more

Gholian Law Group absolutely gets a 5 star from me! Art has been instrumental in assisting me with the legalities of being a rental property owner in Los Angeles.

My condo got flooded from the unit above during some plumbing work that they were doing. My condo got damaged, and I had to make repairs, relocate my tenant and incurred a huge expense. The HOA refused to help even though I was forced to repair common areas, and the upstairs owner's insurance denied any liability and denied the claim. I found Artin, explained the situation and he knew exactly what to do. He sued the HOA and the upstairs owner, fought their insurance companies and got me a settlement that covered my repairs and fees within months from filing the lawsuit. He always kept me informed and seemed to really care about a fair result for me. If you're condo got damaged you need to call Artin!!! Professional, Courteous and great communicator, what else can you ask for!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH ARTIN!!! read more
