West Coast Trial Lawyers

Harvard Law Leadership · Street-Smart Strategy

Who We Are

West Coast Trial Lawyers was founded in 2014 in Los Angeles, California, by renowned attorneys Neama Rahmani and Allen Patatanyan. We are a team of passionate, highly skilled attorneys dedicated to fighting for the rights of people facing injury or injustice in the workplace. Backed by more than 25 years of collective legal expertise, the firm has secured over $1.7 billion in settlements and verdicts for thousands of injured victims and mistreated employees across California, Nevada, Arizona, and Washington State.

Who We Are Not
We are not a faceless corporate law firm that treats clients like case numbers. We are not opportunists chasing quick settlements. We do not overpromise or mislead. We deliver results-driven legal representation backed by integrity, transparency, and unwavering commitment to clients — the go-to firm for individuals who need strong, compassionate representation when their health, safety, or livelihoods have been put at risk.

"You want someone who knows how prosecutors think — that's where the real strategy begins."
