KJT Law Group, a Glendale-based law firm specializing in personal injury and employment law, has 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 providing exceptional legal representation to its clients.
Caspar Jivalagian, a founding partner who focuses on workers' compensation, catastrophic injury, and premises liability cases, has been selected for the first time to the Super Lawyers list in the personal injury, plaintiff practice area. Aaron Turchin, who brings over two decades of trial experience in personal injury and workers' compensation matters, has also been named to the Super Lawyers list, marking his third selection.
Tro Semerjian, an attorney in the firm's litigation department who handles habitability and personal injury cases, and Levon S. Yepremian, who represents employees in discrimination, retaliation, and wage and hour disputes, have been recognized on the Rising Stars list. Semerjian's selection is his first, while Yepremian has now been honored five times.
The Super Lawyers selection process involves a rigorous evaluation that includes peer nominations, independent research across 12 indicators of professional achievement, and a peer review by practice area. Attorneys are nominated by other lawyers or identified through the organization's research, and finalists are rated by a panel of peers before the final list is determined based on point totals within each firm-size category. Only the top 5% of attorneys in the state are included on the Super Lawyers list.
Rising Stars candidates undergo a similar process, but eligibility is limited to attorneys who are 40 years old or younger or who have practiced for 10 years or less. The Rising Stars list represents the top 2.5% of attorneys in the state, an even more selective group.
Selection 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.
For KJT Law Group, this recognition serves as independent, third-party validation of its attorneys' professional standing, which can be an important factor for prospective clients when choosing legal representation. The firm, headquartered at 230 N Maryland Ave, Suite 306 in Glendale, represents clients throughout California in cases involving motor vehicle and pedestrian accidents, workplace injuries, employment disputes, and tenant rights claims.
