About us

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.

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.

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.
