KJT Law Group, a Glendale-based law firm, announced that four of its attorneys have been named to the 2027 Southern California Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists. The recognition, which is based on an independent peer-review process, underscores the firm's commitment to personal injury and employment law.
Caspar Jivalagian, a founding partner who handles 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 achieved this honor three times.
In addition, Tro Semerjian, who represents clients in habitability and personal injury matters, and Levon S. Yepremian, who handles employment disputes involving discrimination, retaliation, and wage and hour issues, were named to the 2027 Southern California Rising Stars list. Semerjian received this distinction for the first time, while Yepremian has been selected five times.
The Super Lawyers selection process involves a rigorous evaluation that includes peer nominations, independent research across 12 indicators of professional achievement, and peer review by practice area. Candidates are identified through formal nominations or the organization's own research, and finalists are then rated by a panel of peers before the final list is compiled based on point totals within each firm-size category. The process is strictly regulated, and the resulting Super Lawyers list represents the top 5% of attorneys in the state.
Rising Stars candidates go through the same nomination and research process, but eligibility is limited to attorneys who are 40 years old or younger or have practiced for 10 years or less. The Rising Stars list represents the top 2.5% of attorneys in the state, making it an even more exclusive group.
Importantly, selection to these lists cannot be purchased, and attorneys are not required to buy any products to be included. Before publication, Super Lawyers verifies each candidate's standing with their local licensing authority and confirms there are no outstanding disciplinary matters. This independent, third-party validation of the attorneys' standing among their peers can be a significant factor for prospective clients when evaluating legal representation.
For KJT Law Group, the recognition of its attorneys on these lists highlights the firm's dedication to providing high-quality legal services in personal injury, workers' compensation, employment law, and habitability matters. The firm represents clients throughout California in cases involving motor vehicle and pedestrian accidents, workplace injuries, employment disputes, and tenant rights claims.
