Meet Vaheh Manoukian, Esq.
Founder of Manoukian Law Firm
Trusted Personal Injury Attorney
Vaheh Manoukian, Esq. is a trusted personal injury attorney based in Woodland Hills, California and the founder of Manoukian Law Firm. He focuses exclusively on personal injury matters, including auto accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, premises liability, sexual abuse litigation, and wrongful death. Known for his sharp litigation skills and client-first approach, Vaheh has built a firm centered on results, strategy, and integrity.
Fighting for Justice
Vaheh began his legal career working for one of the largest insurance companies in the nation. There, he learned how claims are evaluated, how cases are valued, and how insurers defend them to protect their bottom line. That experience gave him an inside look into the tactics used to minimize payouts and delay justice. Today, he uses those same principles to serve his clients on the plaintiff’s side. Every case is approached with the expectation that it may go to trial, and each one is prepared with the precision and insight that only comes from having worked on the other side. Before founding his own firm, Vaheh also worked at a boutique plaintiff-side trial firm handling complex, high-value litigation. That experience deepened his trial preparation skills and solidified his passion for helping injury victims navigate the legal system with confidence.
Education
University of Southern California, Gould School of Law – J.D.
University of California, Los Angeles – B.A.
He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of California, Los Angeles and his Juris Doctor from the USC Gould School of Law. While at USC, he participated in the Mediation Clinic, where he helped resolve disputes in the Los Angeles Superior Court, and was published in the USC Business Law Digest.
Beyond the Law
When he is not practicing law, Vaheh enjoys spending time with his wife and their Labrador Retriever, Maya. He is an avid basketball player and a lifelong sports fan. He values staying active and grounded, and brings that same energy and discipline into his work on behalf of his clients.

Client Commitment
Vaheh values his clients because he understands that every person who walks through his doors has a story to tell. No two injuries are the same, and no two clients experience their recovery in the same way. That is why he takes the time to understand the details of each case on a personal level.
By recognizing what makes each client’s situation unique, he is able to build stronger cases and craft strategies that reflect the real impact of the injury on that individual’s life.
The level of skill and attention to detail required in these matters starts from the first phone call and carries through litigation, settlement negotiations, and trial.
Vaheh is personally involved at every stage of the case and never hands his clients off to an assistant or case manager.
He gives his personal cell phone number to every client so they can reach him directly whenever questions or concerns arise.
That level of accessibility and commitment sets his firm apart and reflects his belief that clients deserve more than just a lawyer—they deserve an advocate who stands with them every step of the way.

Client Testimonials
Here's what our clients say
Posted on Raid TailaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Manoukian Law Firm represented me in a slip & fall case at my apartment building. The process was fairly quick and easy. Vaheh Manoukian kept me informed every step of the way & always gave me his honest opinion about what he thought should be the next step. He always made sure that I knew I was in charge and in the driver seat, he was there as my co pilot to help guide me in the right direction. That for me was great because although he was representing me for a fee, I never felt like it was all about money like a lot of attorneys out there. He was compassionate, professional, & willing to fight to get me the end result I was looking for even if it meant going to trial. I had another attorney that represented me at 1st, but wasn't getting anything done so I let him go after 8 months & found Vaheh & after talking over the phone and told him about my case he took my case on without a doubt that he would be able to get my case settled without having to take it to trial. The process took less then 1 year for my case from the time I signed his retainer form to the time I received my settlement check. Being kept in the loop was great and made me feel confident that he would get me the best out come possible which is exactly what he did for me. I highly recommend his law firm & trust in his process and expertise. He's very honest for an attorney and I felt he never sugar coated anything giving his raw honest opinion on the case & when it was time to send out the 1st dollar amount for negotiations to start he made sure that I knew what he felt the case was really worth & what he could get from the insurance company on my behalf. I gave him a number that I was comfortable walking away from after all medical bills and his fees where deducted & I walked away with a little more then I had said I wanted which was awesome. If you're looking for someone to represent you that's honest and ready to fight for you, look no further, you won't be disappointed & you will walk away from the experience happy with the outcome. Also a big plus for me was he always returned my calls or text almost immediately & didn't keep me waiting for days like some attorneys do. It was a refreshing experience and would definitely reach out to him if I ever need him to represent me in another case. Thank you Vaheh for all the hard work you did and for getting me what was fair for the injuries I sustained, you where amazing and I appreciate you!Posted on David MinasyanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
