Top best H Lawyers in Los Angeles | 1258 available

Prior to being a lawyer, I was a small business owner. I owned my own collection company and collected hundreds of thousands of dollars of judgment debts, ranging from small claims judgments against shady used car lots, to larger judgments against real estate tycoons and even a senatorial candidate. In yet another previous life, I was a professional poker player, and have seen my fair share of people, places and things.. As an attorney  I continue to dedicate my practice to judgment enforcement law, and to recovering money for those who have rightfully won it but who are still not getting paid.. As of 2017, my firm has satisfied well over $15 million in judgment debts.. I do my best to work on a I-dont-get-paid-till-you-get-paid basis and I actually pick up my phone if you call me and return your call if I miss you. Consultations are free.

Prior to becoming an attorney, I participated in hundreds of missions in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom as a U.S. Marine and while working on Department of Defense and Department of State contracts. Sometimes, conducting the proper prior planning leading up to those missions was just as exciting as the missions themselves.. During those times, I learned very quickly that survival depended on one’s ability to anticipate the actions of others, investigate credible threats, adapt to changing circumstances, work effectively with your team, and understand the strengths and weaknesses of the team but especially those of your enemies.. To me, the courtroom is not much different. The threats on the battlefield are clearly unique but my approach remains the same. Having already possessed these skills has given me a distinct advantage over many of my peers. In keeping with this warrior ethos, I approach the courtroom with the mentality of “No better friend, no worse enemy” while remaining polite and professional. These skills, along with my integrity, loyalty, and fighting spirit, set me apart from others.

I served at the SEC's Los Angeles Regional Office as a staff attorney for almost four years.

My clients didn’t do anything wrong. They worked hard and supported their families, but they’re punished for that by being afflicted with a terrible disease. Mesothelioma, asbestos cancers – these are horrific conditions. They did nothing to deserve this. Yet they suffer, because irresponsible corporations put profits first and people’s health last. I am very grateful to be able to help these victims start rebuilding their shattered lives.. Many Weitz & Luxenberg attorneys – like Aaron J. Sussman, an associate in our Mesothelioma and Asbestos Litigation group – come to us after very successful careers working for or as district attorneys. We find that former prosecutors have a special knack for obtaining justice from the types of wrongdoers so often in our crosshairs.. Mr. Sussman joined Weitz & Luxenberg in 2015 at the conclusion of his service to the County of Santa Barbara, California, in the role of deputy district attorney. As a prosecutor, he took felony cases to trial and built a reputation as a highly motivated crimebuster – just ask any of the white-collar lawbreakers he put away for fraud, theft and worse. So knowledgeable was he about the tricks defendants play in order to avoid facing up to the debts they owe society that he became a key resource to investigators, fellow prosecutors and concerned citizens interested in acquiring training and special insights about combating crime.. Before that, Mr. Sussman was an associate attorney with the Los Angeles law firm of Gordon, Edelstein, Krepack, Grant, Felton & Goldstein. Mr. Sussman’s contributions to his team resulted in substantial awards and settlements for the firm’s clients.. In particular, the firm found him indispensible as the writer of its memoranda and motions, the documents that judges rely on in court to help them reach decisions in the course of trial. Mr. Sussman also honed his writing skills – as well as his skills as a researcher of the laws – by serving as research assistant and writing partner to two nationally-renowned legal scholars: America’s most widely read and influential legal commentator Professor Jeffrey Rosen, who serves as President of the National Constitution Center, and frequent race-and-crime commentator Professor Paul Butler, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney who specialized in public corruption. He also completed a criminal case-management internship in the chambers of the Hon. Florence Y. Pan, who, at the time, was newly appointed to the federal bench in the District of Columbia. For Mr. Sussman, this followed a legal-research internship with the advocacy group Just Detention International, also in the District of Columbia.. Those internships occurred during Mr. Sussman’s years at The George Washington University Law School, from which he graduated in 2011 with a juris doctor degree. Ranked in the Top 10 Percent of his class, Mr. Sussman was a member of the George Washington Law Review and the school’s Moot Court and Mock Trial boards. He won the Justice Thurgood Marshall Civil Liberties Award and, in the Spring 2009 Mock Trial Competition, his moot-court team was declared best among those on the prosecution side. At the University of California, Irvine, where Mr. Sussman double-majored in theater and criminology, law, and society, he was a four-time Dean’s List honoree who completed the four-year academic program in three. He graduated in 2005.
