We have no qualms about taking your case the distance and are prepared to do so in each and every case.. I graduated law school in 2002.

Next, my legal knowledge and everyday experience allowed me to share my legal acumen as an adjunct professor of legal studies for an American Bar Association certified legal program. Here, I relished in providing young minds the fundamentals of various legal fields and civil procedure framework. I truly believe the best way to master and sharpen any professional expertise is to do so through the art of teaching others.. Over the past years, I have met and worked for some great attorneys and law firms. Having mentors that you can learn a degree of skill from is essential in the practice of law. Under the tutelage of these fine attorneys, I learned the art of litigation including real estate, family, employment, criminal, personal injury (products liability and environmental tort), taxation and bankruptcy (debt) law. Honing my legal skills in these areas of practice would provide me the ability to provide my clients with the best representation from advocacy, skills of negotiation, litigation and all the way through trial team work..

For more than 28 years, attorney John Ciccarelli has served Los Angeles, Pasadena, and surrounding communities as a dedicated champion of the rights of personal injury clients who fall victim to powerful corporations and unscrupulous individuals.. As the grandson of an immigrant, John saw from an early age the ways in which people with power, money, and influence can trample on the rights of those less fortunate—and get away with it—even in a country as great as America.. As a result of these experiences and in deference to his innate sense of justice, John has become a tireless advocate for the “common man.” While John is known for achieving significant financial rewards for his clients, to him, it’s just as important that to hold rule-breakers fully accountable for the damage they cause. He believes this is his way of protecting his neighbors and making our community a safer place for us all.. He has earned a reputation as a tenacious attorney who frequently sees cases through jury trial rather than accept a settlement he believes is less than his client deserves.. John has always been a multitasker—he worked full-time through law school and still managed to graduate first in his class. Now, he juggles his thriving legal practice with hobbies like martial arts, flying, ballroom dance, and SCUBA diving. John is a devoted husband to his wife of 34 years and father to their three grown children.
During my 13 year tenure at the Los Angeles County Public Defender’s Office I represented over 5,000 individuals who were charged with various misdemeanor and felony offenses. I represented individuals charged with Driving under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs, as well as those charged with Homicide, and everything in between.. I continue to fight for those accused of crimes as well as helping my community stand up to insurance companies, deep-pocketed corporations, and other adversaries after tragic accidents.. It’s important to have a lawyer on your side who is dedicated to helping people. Other attorneys might say the same thing, but few attorneys can say that they committed the vast majority of their career representing indigent citizens charged with criminal offenses. Even fewer attorneys can say that they have a track record of trying over 50 jury trials, and prevailed in most of them. When searching for legal representation, ask prospective attorneys how many jury trial they have actually conducted. I pride myself on the fact that I have an extensive background in conducting jury trials, including trying a Murder in the first degree case.

At Arthur & Associates Law Offices, one gets the “best of all worlds:” quality results, superb professionalism, and unrivaled client service.. ABOUT ARTHUR:. The firm’s founder and managing attorney, Mr. Arthur Ilangesyan is an American success story who relentlessly strives every day for the success of each client. The only child of a widowed young mother, Arthur entered the United States when he was only 15 years old. With just a little cash, and not knowing a word in English, Arthur quickly became a “man” in an unfamiliar environment.. Arthur mercilessly challenged himself to learn English quickly and study well in High School. He simultaneously worked multiple odd jobs to help himself and his mother survive while she was volunteering at a hospital in hopes of securing a job. Soon, not only Arthur excelled and finished High School early, but he also entered a university, where he earned a scholarship, graduated in the top 1% of the university and the 1st in his Major department, and won the Undergraduate Academic Excellence Award. In the process, Arthur also managed to establish and operate a successful business to support his education and family.. Being hungry for further challenges and heights, Arthur soon got admitted into the prominent Loyola Law School. While in law school, Arthur again excelled, achieving a ranking in the top 5% of his class. He earned a scholarship, externed for the former Chief Judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court, and not too long after was hired by one of the world’s largest and most powerful law firms, Sidley Austin, to become one of the firm’s fine attorneys after graduation – the same firm where Barack and Michelle Obama started their legal careers, and where a former California governor was a partner. Arthur graduated, got married to his beautiful soulmate, and joined the firm immediately after returning from honeymoon.. Working at the firm and participating in the representations of global Fortune companies was very satisfying for Arthur as far as a challenge is concerned. Arthur gradually realized, however, that defending big corporations and enjoying prestige of being among the most affluent, is not what he worked so hard for. His heart and soul were among the commoners, the have-nots, and the humble segments of society of which he was always part and grew up with. Arthur ultimately left his beloved mega firm, and went onto his own to uphold and defend the rights of the less privileged.. In 2005, Arthur established the Arthur & Associates Law Office, and succeeded yet again. Being the intelligent, hardworking, passionate, disciplined, responsible and honest lawyer he was, Arthur quickly gained popularity, and his firm soon became a local household name.. Although his firm’s client base keeps on growing every day due to the unique manner in which the firm handles matters for clients, Arthur never loses sight of the most important thing in his life. Between long hours of practicing law on daily basis, Arthur always finds a way to spend most of his weekends with his wonderful wife and two beautiful children, whom he considers as God’s most precious gift to him and his accomplished ultimate American Dream.. Arthur is who he is, and he does in every sphere of life what the best are known for doing.. Arthur is admitted to practice law in all Courts of the State of California, the United States District Court, Central District of California, and United States Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit. He is also a member of the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles.
