“She prepares every case as though it will ultimately be presented to a jury.”
Liya Arushanyan is a founding partner of Asatryan Law and an accomplished trial attorney who has dedicated her career to representing individuals and families in complex litigation throughout California and Nevada. Her practice focuses on serious personal injury, premises liability, habitability, wrongful death, and insurance-related disputes.
For more than a decade, Ms. Arushanyan has fought on behalf of people whose lives have been impacted by negligence, unsafe property conditions, and wrongful conduct. She has successfully handled hundreds of cases from pre-litigation through settlement, arbitration, and jury trial, and she prepares every case as though it will ultimately be presented to a jury. Her reputation as a skilled litigator stems from meticulous preparation, strategic advocacy, and an unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for her clients.
Over the course of her career, Ms. Arushanyan has helped recover millions of dollars for injured individuals, families, and tenants. She has successfully represented clients in serious personal injury, premises liability, wrongful death, and habitability matters, obtaining significant recoveries while guiding clients through some of the most difficult periods of their lives. Her extensive litigation experience and commitment to client service have earned her the trust of countless clients and referral sources throughout California.
Ms. Arushanyan has a particular passion for premises liability litigation. She is highly experienced in cases involving dangerous property conditions, including unsafe stairways, trip-and-fall hazards, negligent maintenance, inadequate security, building code violations, and other conditions that place innocent people at risk. She enjoys uncovering the facts, identifying where property owners failed in their responsibilities, and holding negligent parties accountable. Her ability to investigate complex liability issues and present compelling cases has resulted in significant recoveries for clients who have suffered serious injuries due to unsafe conditions.
A substantial portion of Ms. Arushanyan's practice is also devoted to habitability and tenant-rights litigation. She represents tenants who have been forced to live in dangerous and substandard housing conditions, including mold contamination, water intrusion, plumbing failures, pest infestations, structural defects, and other health and safety hazards. She is passionate about protecting tenants' rights and helping families obtain justice when landlords place profits ahead of people's well-being.
Prior to representing injured individuals and tenants, Ms. Arushanyan began her legal career representing insurance companies and corporate defendants. That experience provided valuable insight into how insurance carriers evaluate claims, defend lawsuits, and attempt to minimize their exposure. She now uses that knowledge to anticipate defense strategies and advocate effectively for the individuals and families she represents.
What truly distinguishes Ms. Arushanyan is her commitment to her clients. She understands that every case represents a real person whose life has been disrupted by circumstances beyond their control. Clients consistently praise her compassion, responsiveness, communication, and dedication. She takes pride in building lasting relationships with her clients and guiding them through difficult times with honesty, empathy, and unwavering support. Many of her new clients come from referrals made by former clients who trust her and appreciate the personal attention she provides.
As a mother of two daughters, Ms. Arushanyan understands the importance of protecting families and advocating for those who may not have a voice. She brings that same sense of responsibility and compassion to every case she handles. Whether representing a family living in unsafe housing conditions or an individual who has suffered a life-changing injury, she approaches each case with determination, integrity, and a genuine desire to make a meaningful difference in her clients' lives.
Ms. Arushanyan is licensed to practice law in California and Nevada.
