“Arash Homampour is one of, if not the best trial attorneys in California. I not only endorse this attorney, I send him cases and he always takes excellent care of the client and exceeds expectations.”
“Donnie” Donald W. Flaig, Esq.
“Ask ANYBODY who knows anything about who the best personal injury trial lawyers are in California and Arash will be on EVERYONE’S top 10 list. He is everything you want your attorney to be: passionate, compassionate, personable, charismatic, honest, articulate, smart as hell, technologically savvy, and most importantly, he cares and truly feels your pain. If you have a catastrophic injury claim, and want the best result possible, hire Arash. The insurance company involved or the corporate defendant who has caused you harm will hate you for it.”
Christopher Russell, Esq.
“The level of communication from your office to our office is nothing short of amazing; your copying us on virtually every relevant document, whether it be pleadings or letters between counsel, we are always kept on top of our cases in the Homampour office. Couple that with your policy of assuring that every staff member (including the guy whose name is on the door), returns our calls promptly and it is no wonder that our guys enthusiastically agree that referring a case to the Homampour group is a home run every time!”
David Grey, Esq.
