Four attorneys from KJT Law Group have been named to the 2027 Southern California Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists, an independent recognition that highlights their professional achievements and the firm's standing in personal injury and employment law.
Caspar Jivalagian, a founding partner who focuses on workers' compensation, catastrophic injury, and premises liability cases, and Aaron Turchin, an attorney with over two decades of trial experience in personal injury and workers' comp matters, were both named to the 2027 Southern California Super Lawyers list in the personal injury, plaintiff practice area. This marks Jivalagian's first selection to the Super Lawyers list, while Turchin has now been selected three times.
Tro Semerjian, who represents clients in habitability and personal injury matters, and Levon S. Yepremian, who handles employment disputes including discrimination, retaliation, and wage and hour claims, were named to the 2027 Southern California Rising Stars list. Semerjian was selected for the first time, and Yepremian has now been honored five times.
The Super Lawyers selection process is rigorous and independent. It begins with peer nominations and independent research across 12 indicators of professional achievement, followed by a peer review by practice area. Attorneys are evaluated by a panel of their peers, and the final list is determined based on point totals within each firm-size category. The process ensures that the Super Lawyers list represents the top 5% of attorneys in the state, while the Rising Stars list, which is limited to attorneys who are 40 years old or younger or have practiced for 10 years or less, represents the top 2.5%.
Notably, selection cannot be purchased, and attorneys are not required to buy any products or services to be included. Before the lists are published, Super Lawyers verifies each candidate's standing with their local licensing authority and confirms there are no outstanding disciplinary matters. This independent validation is significant for both the attorneys and the firm, as it provides third-party confirmation of their professional reputation among peers, which can be a crucial factor for prospective clients evaluating legal representation.
The recognition of four attorneys from KJT Law Group underscores the firm's dedication to its practice areas. With offices in Glendale, California, KJT Law Group handles a range of cases, including motor vehicle accidents, pedestrian injuries, workplace injuries, employment disputes, and tenant rights claims. The firm's commitment to these areas is reflected in the diverse expertise of its recognized attorneys, from trial advocacy in personal injury to litigation in employment law.
For the legal industry, such recognitions serve as a benchmark for quality and can influence client decisions when seeking legal counsel. For KJT Law Group, this acknowledgment reinforces its position as a trusted firm in Southern California, capable of handling complex cases with skill and dedication. As the legal landscape continues to evolve, recognitions like these help maintain high standards and provide assurance to clients that their legal matters are in capable hands.
