KILLEDJIAN LAW CORPORATION:. I am a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney and the managing partner at Killedjian Law Corporation – a criminal defense law firm. My passion for law and justice began when an immediate family member was arrested and incarcerated when I was 20 years old.

This experience prompted me to attend law school with the sole purpose of practicing criminal defense.. In law school, I clerked for the federal public defender’s office which further fueled my love and passion for advocacy and the pursuit of equal justice. Since my 1999 admission to the State Bar of California, I practiced criminal defense law obtaining numerous defense verdicts. My strong strategic vision in criminal defense law provides my clients with formidable representation in California state and federal courts..
