As a lawyer, my truth is that injustice is a violation of every human right. My character pairs well with representing personal injury cases, because my identity has long been anchored in the responsibility I feel towards my community.”

Nalbandian was prestigiously recognized by the National Academy of Personal Injury Attorneys for being within the top 10 of personal injury attorneys in the State of California, accomplishing career highs under the age of forty. And though Ani maintains a disciplined regimen of case analyzation, she dedicates her life to being a present mother to her children, constantly crafting a thoughtful work-life balance. ,“ I strongly believe that the foundation to any success story is underpinned by the support system in place, breathing life over the revolution.

I wholeheartedly aim to instill that within the students I mentor. Greatness is a destination, and the journey there is full of obstacles that you must conquer as your own.”
