Ardalan & Associates
Profile
In just under six years, Ardalan & Associates has earned a reputation as a powerhouse litigation law firm that breeds fearless trial lawyers who aren’t afraid to stand up against the largest firms in the country … and win.
Thorough preparation and skillful execution in handling cases has groomed this five-attorney, Sherman Oaks boutique firm into a force to be reckoned with.
Ardalan & Associates has a diverse practice that focuses on all aspects of plaintiffs’ civil litigation (including personal injury, products liability and professional malpractice), as well as family law and criminal defense.
The firm’s success is evident this year in that three of the firm’s five attorneys have been named to the Southern California Rising Stars list, including founding attorney P. Christopher Ardalan as well as associates Fatemeh Banihashemi and Brian J. Ward.
KEY TO SUCCESS
“It’s our trial preparation and presentation that makes us successful at what we do,” says Ardalan. “We prevail in our cases because from day one, we prepare every case like it is going to trial.”
Ardalan’s innovative case vision, disciplined trial strategy and compassion for his clients, combined with the sheer tenacity and talent of his young team of associates, has resulted in numerous successes for the firm’s clients. For these reasons, Ardalan & Associates routinely achieves verdicts and settlements in the six- and seven-figure range, along with equivalent success in the areas of criminal defense and family law.
OUR FOCUS IS OUR CLIENTS
“No one wants a lawyer—they need a lawyer,” says Ardalan. “It’s no secret that when someone steps into our office, it is because something terrible has happened to them. For us, the thrill of the job is to help them achieve the justice and compensation they deserve. Lawyers devoid of compassion are devoid of passion for their client’s cause, and are thus powerless to convince any judge or jury to support their client’s position.”
It is this compassion and understanding that is the driving force behind Ardalan’s team of lawyers who fight every inch of the way to the courthouse and beyond.
For those reasons, Ardalan believes that, “At Ardalan & Associates, we provide more than legal representation … we provide peace of mind.”
"My Platinum profile ad has definitely paid off! My law firm is a boutique five-attorney law firm in San Francisco that had never advertised prior to this, except in Martindale-Hubbel. We have been a traditional insurance defense firm, and wanted to subtly let people know that we also do select plaintiff's cases. In the last quarter of 2006, we were retained in three significant plaintiff's cases, two of which are high-profile media cases. I also placed an ad in the Super Lawyers section of San Francisco magazine, to reach non- lawyers. Now, people at the gym, the coffee shop, the drycleaners tell me they had no idea what I do, and they will come to me when they need a lawyer. So, the ad also worked to reach non-lawyers in the community as well."
