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 underscores the firm's commitment to personal injury and employment law and is based on an independent peer-review process conducted annually.
Caspar Jivalagian, founding partner, and Aaron Turchin, a trial attorney with over two decades of experience, were both selected to the Super Lawyers list in the personal injury plaintiff practice area. This is Jivalagian's first selection, while Turchin has now been recognized three times. Jivalagian focuses on workers' compensation, catastrophic injury, and premises liability, while Turchin handles personal injury and workers' comp cases.
Tro Semerjian, from the litigation department, and Levon S. Yepremian, who represents employees in discrimination, retaliation, and wage disputes, were named to the Rising Stars list. Semerjian received his first selection, and Yepremian has now been honored five times.
The Super Lawyers selection process involves peer nominations, independent research across 12 indicators of professional achievement, and peer review by practice area. Attorneys enter the candidate pool through nominations or the organization's research, and finalists are rated by a panel of peers. The final list represents the top 5% of attorneys in each state. Rising Stars follows a similar process but is limited to attorneys 40 years old or younger or those with 10 years or less of practice, and represents the top 2.5%.
Selection cannot be purchased, and attorneys are not required to buy any products. Before publication, Super Lawyers verifies each candidate's standing with local licensing authorities and confirms no disciplinary actions. For KJT Law Group, this recognition provides independent validation of their attorneys' reputations, which can influence prospective clients' decisions.
For HR vendors and professionals, this news is significant because it highlights the importance of legal expertise in employment law. As workplace regulations evolve, having attorneys who are recognized for their skill in discrimination, retaliation, and wage disputes is crucial for both employers and employees. The recognition of these attorneys may signal a growing need for specialized legal counsel in employment matters, which could impact how HR vendors develop compliance tools and services.
