KJT Law Group, a Glendale-based law firm, has announced that four of its attorneys have been named to the 2027 Southern California Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists. The recognition highlights the firm's dedication to personal injury and employment law, as determined by an independent, peer-review selection process.
Caspar Jivalagian, a founding partner who focuses on 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 Super Lawyers list in the personal injury, plaintiff practice area. This marks Jivalagian's first appearance on the Super Lawyers list, while Turchin has now been selected three times.
Tro Semerjian, an attorney in the firm's litigation department representing clients in habitability and personal injury matters, and Levon S. Yepremian, who handles employment disputes including discrimination, retaliation, and wage and hour issues, were named to the Rising Stars list. Semerjian was selected for the first time, and Yepremian has now been recognized five times.
The Super Lawyers selection process involves 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. The resulting list represents the top 5% of attorneys in a given state.
Rising Stars candidates undergo a similar 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 distinction.
It is important to note that 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. This independent validation serves as a testament to the attorneys' professional standing and can be a significant factor for prospective clients when choosing legal representation.
