Exceptional Representation and Outstanding Results! I cannot recommend this firm highly enough. From our very first consultation, my legal team demonstrated unmatched professionalism, deep expertise, and a strategic approach to my case. They navigated a highly complex employment dispute with absolute confidence, ensuring that I was informed and protected every step of the way. Thanks to their tireless dedication and exceptional negotiation skills, we secured a successful resolution that far exceeded my expectations. If you want a team that will truly fight for you and deliver results, look no further. Special shout out to Attorney Nare who was with me most of the way, and throughout my mediation and final settlement. As well as Attorney Bryan, who was there with me and Nare during the mediation and settlement process. read more

They took approximately 3 weeks to evaluate and give a decision about taking my case or not. That is not very reasonable in my opinion.

My experience at first was amazing. They called me back right away. Did my intake. The first attorney I spoke to went MIA until I got a new attorney who I was always available to speak to when I was told I needed to be spoken to. I was already thinking I was going to close the case and I didn't hear from them in months until my new attorney. Now that we are close to finishing it's so hard to get in contact with anyone in that firm. Everyone is always busy or in meetings or not available. When they say they will call you back they don't. I'm not sure why I'm getting the run around but I was told they would be available 24/7 and I try to respect hours and only contact during what I feel are business hours and I always get hit with they are in a meeting. This only happened right after a settlement was being reached. Now it's impossible to communicate. Very disappointed as I thought I was really being helped. I was suppose to get some forms sent to me to show the total and I never received it. I feel completely ignored and like if my case doesn't matter as they will get their money and now having me wait. read more

The firm agreed to take on two employment cases that were very strong. I spent months gathering and providing everything they asked for, only to be told they would just send a letter and take no further action. When the employer didn't respond, they dropped the first case. Shortly after, they dropped the second one too--with little discussion and no real input from me regarding why. You have no say or get an explanation to their decisions that they make they can take as long as they want they can do whatever they want, and you are just left sitting waiting by the phone. After months of effort, I was left with no resolution. Communication was poor, and the overall experience was very disappointing. Lawyers are joking better get a ChatGPT Law version lol read more

Some blessings are in disguise and then some you spot right away. I scheduled an intake and after the 9 texts and emails that hammered me, I was able to confirm an upcoming appointment for an hour intake. I fully prepared myself and took the time to get everything ready. It was scheduled for 11am. I waited, no call. After a long 10 minute wait sitting there, I called. The front desk female confirmed I had my appointment with Michael Carey and then said he was having computer issues and would be calling me back. Not sure what the computer had to do with the phone?? But I waited. And waited. And then after 2 hours passed, realized this was a clear sign of a very unorganized and unprofessional office to which I would never trust in handling my case. Having that was all I needed to know. Moving forward, there are many other options. ​ read more

Shegerian & Associates operates by extracting major concessions from clients while providing negligible service. At their direction, I sacrificed my NLRB reinstatement rights and shut down all social media. In exchange for these significant losses, the firm delivered nine months of silence, followed by an unprepared attorney and a swift withdrawal when I demanded they honor their commitment. They are experts at demanding you risk everything for your case but are unwilling to risk their own time or resources. I lost rights and opportunities and have nothing to show for it but a lesson in their catastrophic neglect. read more

Using my daughter's account but this is for attorney Isabelle Chau especially & Aaron Gbewonyo! I'm incredibly grateful to this law firm. They took on my case when others wouldn't, and they didn't charge any upfront fees--their payment was a percentage of my settlement, and only after we won. My lawyer explained everything clearly, guided me through the process, and gave honest advice about the pros and cons. They were responsive, professional, and always quick to return my calls. Thanks to their dedication, my case was settled in my favor, and I finally received justice. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of legal help. -Rose T. read more

Don't waste your time took an hour consultation. They asked about a million questions. After the consultation they ask if you can submit your paystubs? Little confused by that. After the phone call they tell you that we will get back to you, to see if we have a case. Two days past I get a phone call from somebody in there office telling me they can't help me unless I resign??? I'm sorry why would I want to resign from a job where I have many benefits just because I got treated unfairly and was illegal. Anyone looking for legal advice and help be prepared for them to tell you that you have a RESIGN! read more

I would not recommend this law firm to anyone. It has been over a year since I hired them, and I have received no updates, no responses, and no progress on my case. Repeated calls and attempts to reach someone go unanswered. To me, it feels like they are working more in the interest of the City of Los Angeles than their clients, setting people up for failure instead of fighting for them. If you value your time, money, and peace of mind, avoid this firm they will waste all three. if this happens to you file with the bar for lawyers. read more

I retained this law firm for a constructive‑discharge matter in Jan 2025. I provided them with extensive documentation, including emails, recordings, union‑representative statements, and witness information. Collecting and organizing this material took approximately 100 hours of my time. Despite receiving all evidence early in the process ( In about a month ) , the firm took no meaningful action for nearly a year ( Dec 2025 ) . My case was passed from one attorney to another with no continuity or progress. Even the draft letter they eventually prepared contained multiple inaccuracies that I had to correct myself. In March 2026--after more than 14 months of inactivity ( just sending a primary letter to the company ) --the firm informed me that they would not be moving forward with my case. This delay cost me valuable time and eliminated my ability to pursue certain federal claims, which must be filed within 180 days. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this firm. The lack of follow‑through, accountability, and timely action left me with the impression of an unreliable and untrustworthy legal service provider. read more

The years were worth the wait Huge shout out to Gabriel he kept me very informed along the way. I always felt I was felt i was in good hands. read more

They failed to properly support me as a client. I was wrongfully terminated by my job. (gender discrimination, whistleblower retaliation, and hostile work place), While in a distraught emotional state, I signed on with them without checking the details of what they would do to represent me. They only agreed to sending demand letters and would not go further with litigation. I agreed to this but in hindsight that was a mistake. I had to chase them down for deadlines. They never kept me informed on my status. Finally, one lawyer started getting involved to try to clean up the mess. (Marisol Gastelum). Sadly, the damage to my case was already done. If you are a victim of any workplace situation, I strongly urge that you get a detailed letter on what Shegerian and Associates will do for you. What the deadlines are: Which Lawyer will be the primary contact. I would not sign with them unless you are assured of the support you will receive from them as a victim. There is a lot of workplace discrimination going on right now. The victims are disproportionately directed toward women. It is my hope that Shegerian & Associates treats their women clients better than they did for me. I suppose I would recommend that you find another firm. If you have to go with Shegerian & Associates, please get clear details on what they will do for you. I just wish someone gave me this advice instead of the year I just lost dealing with the emotional trauma of termination and without being respectfully supported by Shegerian & Associates. read more

Shegerian and Associates took my unlawful termination case in Marich of 2025. 45 minute phone interview and I spent hours sending them my medical records for my many operations in 2024. No correspondence till December 2025. I suggest they have an attorney with an ounce of empathy call to tell you that you have no case. The lawyer who called me was rude, cold and not an ounce of empathy for me. Just told me that California tends to side with employers over employees.i was physically unable to work for over a year due to many operations and she pretty much said the employer can terminate you legally without cause. Very disappointed with this law firm read more

If you've ever been told attorneys are dubious and unethical, this law firm doesn't miss the mark. They agreed to represent me in a case in which they had no intention to proceed and wasted my precious time in a time-sensitive case. I signed a binding contract with Shegerian & Associates on May 2, 2025, to represent me in a wrongful termination dispute with a company, contract dated April 29, 2025, and countersigned by Carney R. Shegerian on May 5, 2025. On the very same day of May 5, my company filed for bankruptcy, but Shegerian's law firm waited until September 24 to notify me they could no longer represent me due to the bankruptcy, despite our binding agreement. They wasted over four months of my time for nothing, sitting on my time-sensitive case with no real intention to proceed, banking on the slim chance this rapidly liquidating company would somehow reverse course, all without telling me this. I thought, as anyone would, that they had actual interest in proceeding, especially since we were bound by contract. The entire time, I was kept in the dark, violating Paragraph 3 of our contract, which requires the attorney to keep the client "reasonably informed of work done on Client's behalf". Despite my messages on May 27 and July 28, plus calls asking for updates, I was just told to be patient and that the attorneys were working on it - nothing about the impact of the bankruptcy on my case, and that they were literally just sitting on my case without intention to proceed. Our contract even states in Paragraph 9 that they can only withdraw for "good cause," such as the client's breach or circumstances rendering representation "unlawfully or unethical" - not just because the opposing party goes bankrupt. At first, they were vague about the issue, but after repeated emails, the director finally called September 30 to explain their reason for dropping me. I pointed out this was a violation of our contract, but she dodged the question and pushed me toward a bankruptcy lawyer, claiming the firm doesn't handle those cases (even though Paragraph 2 limits scope to litigation but doesn't mention dropping due to external events like this). Once again, why didn't they just tell me this back in May when the bankruptcy was declared? - I asked her only to have her repeat the same lines. This is highly unethical malpractice and negligence, breaching their duties under the agreement and wasting precious time on a time-sensitive matter where I could lose my ability to pursue claims. I'll be complaining to the relevant authorities, like the California State Bar. Avoid this firm - my contract disclaims any guarantees, but they didn't even try despite being under contract and risked serious harm to my time-sensitive case by making a contract with me, agreeing to pursue my case, while all along they knew that they very likely wouldn't want to proceed, without telling me this was their motive. read more

These incredible attorneys, Iman specifically, deserve much more than 5 stars! It's been 6yr in dealing with this whole ordeal, some days I wanted to give up, but they kept me going and they turned my "tiny little" case into something huge for me. I felt like I was their only client, like that "multi-million" dollar client! Iman was tough on the defense, and I really appreciated his council throughout this case! This firm lives and breaths for their clients! Never feel like your issue is too small and not worth it, like I did, and when that time comes, please make sure your first call is to Shegerian & Associates! Thank you to everyone read more

I have to post again as I have found out that they have a public relations firm that handles their publicity and I personally believe a lot of these "positive" reviews may be coming from this public relations firm. They have a lousy track record on the intake process, sitting on client cases for MONTHS, pushing settlements that their clients don't feel comfortable with (one reviewer on one of the Yelp sites felt she had been raped by this firm!!, being sued by a former employee (who won from what I read) and VERY ALARMINGLY have downloaded (I experienced this first-hand) uploading other client's files into your dropbox. Stay away. There are tons of employment attorneys so do yourself a favor and go find another one. t read more

If they think they can't make money off your case, they will deny you. They can care less about you. They try 3 different ways to sue a company but if none apply to you, they deny you. read more

I am not sure about lawyers, but very poor intake customer service. I had the follow-up evaluation, but the customer representative was not prepared at all and just insisted on asking off-point questions like a broken machine. Even though I was terminated for the wrong reason, she had no empathy and sounded like she didn't understand what the issue was. Her questions and attitude immediately gave me the impression that this firm only targets easy cases and easy money. read more

Process begins with an impersonal, lengthy phone call where I felt I was being datamined more than the case. The majority of their questions pertained to circumstances I wasn't looking to seek counsel for. The final call I received that they weren't taking my case was rushed and impersonal. They sent an email with "resources" for me after declining my case, of which there was nothing of use. After declining my case, I went to request my information be removed under the CCPA. Their Privacy Policy page doesn't have an email, only a phone number. I talked to a representative about having the information removed, and despite asking several times, their response was "it was against policy". When I asked that declining to delete my personal information was against the CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act), her response was "I can't answer that". To me, it's a really bad look for a law firm that isn't following the law. read more

I do hope nobody ever has to sue anyone. But if you do, and if you are not familiar with how the law works, this may not be the firm for you. They take your case but do not update you unless you reach out first. Facts get distorted and no reason given for charges they come up with. After 3 years, and working with 5 different associates/ lawyers/ interns (whoever they are), we finally started depositions. No real prep for the depo, just a calm review and mild instruction. When the distorted facts are questioned in depo, they leave you hanging. No witnesses who could/ would have strengthened my case were interviewed, so witness list they asked for was worthless. How they justify 50% of a settlement/ judgement baffles me. I have never felt like I had been more raped mentally in my life. The people I had to bring a case about didn't treat me as bad as Shegarian & Assts did. I could mention more but they wasted enough of my time. No speedy trial, no witnesses, no proper prep, but they take half and then their fees. Wouldn't bother me a bit if I felt they did ANYTHING. They did the bare minimum not caring about justice or righting the wrong. I hope I never have to sue anyone else (although suing Shegarian would make me smile), but if I do, I will hire Walter Clarke at the 7's before ever considering Shegarian. They would be great as the opposition attorneys, though. read more

So thankful for Shegarian representing me in my case and for all of their help. Gevik was on top of my case from start to finish, made the process so simple and easy, and fought so extremely hard for me. Will definitely refer friends and family! Thank you! read more

Rounds and rounds of long and invasive questions, many that don't really pertain to winning your case. The intake person has zero empathy for what you've gone through. They will likely pass on your case unless it's super easy to win. Not a good firm. Do not waste your time. read more

Carney and all his staff are amazing! John David was so helpful, and we won our case. I cannot thank all of you enough for being there for me step by step. This firm is so knowledgeable and took the time a patients to make sure everything was done correctly.

I would highly recommend Shegerian & Associates to anyone who needs help with employment law. You are the best!!!! read more

After consulting and being turned down by several attorneys that handle wrongful termination cases , I was lucky enough to find Shegerian & Associates, that accepted to represent me with their very knowledgeable and professional staff. Rosie Zilifyan was assigned to represent my case. She was more than just my legal counsel; she was a true advocate for my well-being. Rosie took the time to understand my concerns, always prioritizing my comfort and peace of mind. Her compassionate approach, combined with her legal expertise, made me feel secure and supported throughout the entire process. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. Thank you Rosie Zilifyan and Shegerian & Associates for your exceptional service. read more

I would like to start off by saying...my lawyer and her team made me feel welcomed and understood in a time where I was in distraught and broken.

They go above and beyond to represent their client. Thank you Beheshta Kakar and Associates for all you have done for me and my family. read more

Shegerian & Associates handled my wrongful termination case with professionalism. They kept me informed and fought hard for me.

I reached out to 4 firms to get opinions on employment legal situation and this firm performed the worst in terms of practical advice and intake. Had 3 calls, the first two were called earlier than the scheduled time (by 20 minutes), and the last time happened randomly in the middle of my week without notice. Took 2 weeks from start to finish to get an intro call, and upon completing that... a whole additional week to find out they wouldn't be interested in it at this time. Overall this was the least helpful and least organized law firm I contacted. You end up feeling like a cog in a machine, and I ended selecting another firm to represent me. read more

I received a generic bot email from Shegerian and Associates where none of the content applied to my situation. They claimed to have "thoroughly reviewed all of the materials I provided". I never provided this firm with any details or materials of my case. They never asked for them. I hadn't done an intake form and was not asking to be represented by them. It was just weird. read more

My experience with Shegerian & Associates was beyond exceptional. At an exceedingly traumatic time in my life when I felt that no one would listen, this law firm became a glimmer of hope in a very dark period. I had a wonderful experience with every person I spoke to at this firm, from the first telephone receptionist to my incredible attorney, Rosie Zilifyan. Rosie's work ethic is second to none-- despite her incredible work load, she never once made me feel as though I was anything less than her number one priority. She kept me apprised of all aspects of my case and worked tirelessly to understand the incredibly complicated aspects of my litigation, which she not only mastered, but fought for until reaching an appropriate outcome for me. At the start, my fight felt impossible-- the entity I faced was bigger and more powerful than any ability I had as a single individual. However, after Shergerian & Associates took my case, I began to feel an efficacy that had been systematically stripped away from me. I can say, with absolute sincerity, that Rosie (and this firm) saved my life, both figuratively and, to a large degree, literally. They gave me the ability to see, obtain, and live a different outcome than the one I had thought was my only option. Not a single day goes by that I don't think of Rosie and thank God that she was put into my life. The initial phone call that I made to this law firm became one of the BEST decisions I have ever made in my life. I was treated with compassion, respect, and dignity at every step, and Rosie was so incredibly understanding of the emotional and mental toll that my experiences had taken on me. She truly was my champion and advocate, and I will never have the words to offer her the thanks that she deserves. My life would have had a very, very different outcome had it not been for Shegerian & Associates, and more specifically, Rosie Zilifyan. Her integrity and tenacity made me feel that I wasn't alone in my fight, and true to her word, she was there with me (and for me) for every single moment of my journey. My fight became her fight, and she demonstrated to me that she wasn't simply "doing her job,"-- she was doing what she believed in and what she felt was right. The positive outcome that I experienced can truly be attributed to her. Please, if you are facing a fight that feels too big or too great to handle on your own, if you feel helpless or hopeless, or that no one will listen to or believe you, call Shegerian & Associates. The incredible individuals at this firm (especially Rosie Zilifyan) cannot be commended enough, and I will be forever grateful to each and every one of them for the rest of my life. read more

Perhaps this was a problem of inappropriate expectation. I wanted to hire a licensed attorney to review some legal documents related to recent job separation. Shegarian's associates took my information and copies of the documents and waited several days before telling me they weren't going to represent me. At first, I was confused why it would take several days to tell me their hourly rate (I wanted to know how much the consultation would cost). Perhaps if they had just explained to me why they could not answer my questions (conflict of interest, etc) and/or perhaps even a referral to another law firm that could answer my questions, I would have given more stars. read more

If you are a whistleblower be careful in talking to them. I have contacted this law firm for my case of whistleblower retaliation a few years ago. I have contacted ~200 lawyers and this was the only law firm that made me go through 3 days of intake calls to gather all possible information before even deciding if they wanted to take my case or not. Ultimately, they gathered a lot of valuable information on my case that they may have exchanged with the opposing parties in my cases, and they refused to represent me despite the value of my case. If you search for whistleblower stuff on Google this law firm appears always first. This means that they spend millions to direct people towards their law firm and to just ask them information and evidence and then not take on their cases??? How do they make money??? How do they cover for their ads?? Well, you can make a lot of money by selling evidence to opposing parties and huge corporations who want to sabotage whistleblower's cases. read more
