Our priorities
What we make sure of
The most important part of your case is you. Before anything else, we make sure you are getting the medical care you need, that your questions are answered the same day, and that the insurance company is dealing with us instead of with you.
We have handled car accident and personal injury claims for years and we know exactly how insurers decide what to pay, which is how we make sure you are not pressured into less than your case is worth. Our fees are contingency only, so you owe nothing up front and nothing unless we win. And we believe in helping the community we live in.
If you were hurt in the Valley, you can call and talk to the attorney today.

The firm
Built to take a case all the way.
Manoukian Law Firm was founded by Vaheh Manoukian, a graduate of the USC Gould School of Law and UCLA who handled depositions and trials at a larger firm before opening his own. The firm’s work is personal injury only: car, truck and motorcycle collisions, pedestrian and bicycle injuries, falls on unsafe property, and wrongful death, for clients throughout California. It has handled catastrophic injury cases, claims against commercial trucking and bus companies, and claims against public entities. It is a member of the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles and Consumer Attorneys of California, and its founding attorney was selected to the Super Lawyers Rising Stars list for 2027.
Evidence is secured early, accident reconstruction, medical and economic experts are retained when the case calls for it, and every case is prepared as if it will be tried.
You always know where your case stands: an update at every milestone, a check-in every few weeks in between, and a direct line.
You know where your case stands at every stage, and the fee agreement is explained in writing before we begin.

Questions
Common questions
How much does it cost to hire you?
Nothing up front. The consultation is free, the fee is a percentage of the recovery agreed in writing before we begin, and there is no fee unless we win.
How long do I have to file a claim in California?
Generally two years from the injury. Claims against a government entity must be filed within six months. We confirm your deadline at the first meeting.
Can I recover if I was partly at fault?
Yes. California’s comparative negligence rule reduces your recovery by your share of fault but does not bar it.
Will I have to go to court?
Most cases resolve without a trial. If a fair resolution is not offered, the firm files suit and you are kept informed at every step.
Where in California do you take cases?
Anywhere in the state. We represent clients throughout California and meet by phone, video or in the hospital.
