What Our Clients Are Saying
Hands down they are the BEST! I reached out to other law firms regarding my employer and was turned away, but Haig took my case and won me a large sum! He has an excellent team that guided me through the entire process so I knew what to expect every step of the way. I highly recommend them!
Former Client
Kevin Crough went above and beyond. I requested a free consultation for an employment issue. While he and his firm were not able to take my case at this time. He spent countless hours doing research and providing me with other options in order to get my cases resolved with the best possible out comes. He also provided me with Links and information on how I should proceed. After speaking with him a few times I was able to follow through on getting my situation handled and I felt confident in my next steps. Thank you so much Kevin for all your help and advice!!!
Jeanne M.
I hired Haig a couple years ago for a personal injury case and he got my a settlement that was higher than I expected. From day one, Haig was understanding, caring and very responsive to all my questions and concerns. During my initial consultation he listened to every detail of what happened and instantly had a game plan for my case. That first meeting really put me at ease and I knew I picked the right attorney to represent me. When something unexpected happens to you, you need to make sure you have someone on your side to fight for what you deserve. I always felt comfortable dealing with Haig and his team.Recently, I had issues with a car I had leased and as soon as I realized something was wrong, I called Haig. He did not hesitate to give me the advice and guidance. Again, he put me at ease and went over all of my options. His staff was very helpful and quick to address all my concerns. He worked with me directly to get a settlement that I was comfortable with. I cannot say how appreciative I am of Haig's attention to my case.Haig has handled two different cases for me and I couldn't be happier with the results. I recommend him to anyone that needs a good attorney.
Harout B.
Haig and Raffi helped me out with a terrible landlord situation and won the case and I am incredibly appreciative of them and all of their hard work, i can not recommend them enough!
Mark E.
I called and spoke with Kevin about some habitability issues in LA, wanting to explore legal options as a tenant. Not only was he incredibly honest and just generally nice but he gave me all the time I needed, completely focused on my situation, and never once pushed me into pursuing a lawsuit or something that would benefit him - quite the opposite, his straightforwardness about my options and possible outcomes eventually led me to hold off on legal recourse for the present.All from a free consultation, and it’s because of this I will 100% be calling Kevin when I really do need some help - as well as referring friends and family to him as well. Thank you so much for your time and expertise, absolutely priceless!
Abraham H.
Haig is a great attorney. He has helped me with a few cases over the past couple years. A friend of mine highly recommended him to me and I am glad he did. I have also highly recommended him to many of my friends and family. He is honest and great at keeping steady communication. He is still the only attorney I can confidently say I trust.
Tomas C.
I am so grateful for Raffi and his team and all their hard work.
Antoinette W.
First off I'm very satisfied with this Lawfirm! if you want to make some real money and want somebody to really fight for you I definitely recommend this Lawfirm. They have done their thing with my case! They should be called the box lawyer because they sure did fight like they were in a boxing match and got me a significant amount back in my pocket. They deserve more than a five star. Highly recommend and I know exactly where to come back if needed

Attorney Haig kazandjian.is the best attorney I have ever met. He always answered my question. And he was very helpful. Thank you so much for all your hard work Haig. I highly recommend this attorney to anyone. Specially my family and friends.
Deanna A.
Haig will take care of you with whatever you need help with and he will always make sure you get the highest settlement possible for you. His assistant Ashley is nothing short on the other hand either. When you call the office and she picks up and knows who you are, she will tell you the details of your case without even reviewing your file and it’s always accurate, which tells you that they’ve been working on your case for a comfortable amount of time to know the details at the top of their head. Haig never ignores calls and always welcomes clients whether they come to the office with appointments or not. This was truly a great experience for me and it was an honor to be represented by such a chill and friendly attorney.
Artin M.
This was the best attorney we could have asked for. We could not have asked for more.
Jake
I highly recommend this firm. The staff is professional, friendly, knowledgeable & caring. Knowing I had Haig & Kevin on my side was a huge comfort every step of the way during a stressful process. I am satisfied with the outcome & I wouldn't hesitate to contact them if I need help in the future. From the moment I walked through the door I knew they would help me, and they far exceeded my expectations. Thank you!
Janice V.
When I left my last job almost a year ago, my previous employer still hadn’t paid me but I felt scared and confused on how to get the rest of my unpaid wages. That’s when one of my really good friends referred me to Haig. I scheduled a free consultation and went into his office to speak with the attorney. It was so simple, after that I just signed a couple papers and voila Haig was able to secure the money they owed me back!! Also... every time I called in, Liza and Ashley were so sweet and helpful in updating me about my case. Have since recommended to 3 of my previous coworkers who left the same employer. Best decision I ever made.
Mona A.
When my spouse filed for divorce, I was hit by surprise. Suddenly my world was falling apart and my children were being turn against me. Morris & Adams helped me regain control of my life and salvage my relationship with my kids.
Jake B.
I had an amazing experience with this firm. They made it easy from beginning to end and kept communication the entire time. Highly recommended!
Bruce C.
I don’t usually write yelp reviews, but I felt like I needed to share my amazing experience with Haig. He has been very attentive, helpful and went over my case detail by detail. I had a million and one questions but he was able to answer them all, making me feel comfortable and I had I knew I had made the right choice. His customer service through the duration of my case was above and beyond what I had expected. He is a great negotiator and fought on my behalf, which ultimately resulted in a fair settlement that I will forever be grateful! I highly recommend if you’re searching for a lawyer that will fight for you, keep you in the loop, and deliver much more than you can hope for. Haig is knowledgeable and knows exactly how to get you what you deserve during what can be a difficult and stressful time.
Aleen A.
Kevin Crough is an extremely knowledgeable and helpful attorney. He takes the time to assess your situation and offers a great consultation which leaves you feeling very confident in his ability to help you and your case. The front office also grants very short turn around times to reach your desired request. The front office is also very approachable and they seem to come from good nature. The overall experience with this group was nothing short of delightful. They're a great set that will definitely help you feel more at ease with your legal issues and leave you satisfied with your decision in choosing them. I would recommend Kevin and this group to anyone who needs their amazing skill set.

This review has been long coming but here it is! I searched for an employment attorney in Glendale and Haig B Kazandjian came up, so I chose him. After meeting with him and discussing my side of the story, he knew how strongly I felt about the case/situation and decided to take on the fight. After a while I began to doubt him and thought he didn’t take my case as seriously as I’d imagined. However, that whole time he had been going back and forth, over and over again trying to get me a settlement I would be happy with. Well in the end, I got more than I expected all thanks to Haig! He is a kind and sincere person and will listen to all the details of your story to make sure you get what you deserve! Choose him for your case!!
Naymarba
I came across Haig while researching law firms, lawyers, and possibly retaining legal counsel. I'm not easily swayed by 100% positive reviews but he had a great site and as previously mentioned stellar reviews. I sent an email to him as well of a handful of potential firms to assist me with an extremely stressful tenant/landlord situation in hopes of some advice and options for getting things done.Haig was the first to call me and offered me an empathetic ear as well as solid advice as to my rights being the tenant. I retained him and his firm to help move the needle on issues that had been sitting stagnant for more than 3 years and with zero help from the city it was nice to see things finally budge. I was able to work with another individual inside his form who took my intake report as well as reception on a few occasions who were all great and extremely helpful.In the end we found a solution that worked for all and life moves on happily. Thanks again to Haig and his great staff at Kazandjian law!
