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 highlights the firm's longstanding commitment to personal injury and employment law, as determined by an independent, peer-review process conducted annually on a state-by-state basis.
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 2027 Southern California Super Lawyers list in the personal injury, plaintiff practice area. This is Jivalagian's first selection to the Super Lawyers list, while Turchin has now been selected three times.
Additionally, Tro Semerjian, an attorney in the firm's litigation department who represents clients in habitability and personal injury matters, and Levon S. Yepremian, who represents employees in discrimination, retaliation, and wage and hour disputes, were named to the 2027 Southern California Rising Stars list. Semerjian was selected for the first time, and Yepremian has now been selected five times.
The Super Lawyers designation follows an evaluation process that combines peer nominations, independent research across 12 indicators of professional achievement, and a peer review by practice area. Attorneys enter the candidate pool through formal nominations from other lawyers or through the organization's own research process. Finalists in each practice area are then rated by a panel of their peers before a final list is set based on point totals within each firm-size category.
The nomination and selection process is strictly regulated, and the resulting Super Lawyers list represents the top 5% of attorneys in a given state. Rising Stars candidates undergo the same nomination and research process, but eligibility is limited to attorneys who are 40 years old or younger or who have practiced law for 10 years or less. The Rising Stars list represents the top 2.5% of attorneys in the state, a narrower group than the Super Lawyers list.
Selection cannot be purchased, and attorneys are not required to buy any product to be included on either list. Before a list is published, 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' standing among their peers, a distinction that can factor into how prospective clients evaluate legal representation.
The firm, headquartered at 230 N Maryland Ave, Suite 306 in Glendale, California, practices in areas including personal injury, workers' compensation, employment law, and habitability matters. It represents clients throughout California in cases involving motor vehicle and pedestrian accidents, workplace injuries, employment disputes, and tenant rights claims.
