ACTS Law is proud to announce that Boris Treyzon, one of our founding partners, was honored with Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles’ 2021 Trial Lawyer of the Year award.

This award honors outstanding trial lawyers for their work over the past year and recognizes their successes.

As a founding partner at ACTS Law, Boris has worked tirelessly for his clients in various practice areas, including complex litigation matters, catastrophic personal injury cases, and insurance bad faith.

ACTS Law Managing Partner Danny Abir authored an article titled “Four ways to prevent the Great Resignation from ravaging your firm.” The article gives helpful tips on ways to adjust to the current labor market.

ACTS Law Managing Partner Danny Abir authored an article for the Daily Journal titled “4 Trends Driving the ‘Great Resignation.'” In it, Mr. Abir examines how the great resignation has impacted law firms and the four major trends of this mass exodus of employees:

• Employees close to retirement are taking the leap early
• Americans’ emerging “work-to-live’ mindset
• New job opportunities abound thanks to fewer geographical limitations
• Employers returning to “business as usual” while ignoring societal changes

Four attorneys at ACTS Law were selected as 2022 Super Lawyers California Rising Stars: David Bederman, Joseph Finnerty, Farid Golshani, and Michael Harutunian.

This is the fourth consecutive year Mr. Finnerty and Mr. Harutunian have been named Rising Stars, the third year in a row for Mr. Bederman, and the first time Mr. Golshani has been recognized with this honor.

“We have a fine crop of young attorneys who are making a significant contribution to our firm and our clients,” said ACTS Law Managing Partner Danny Abir. “These four lawyers are some of the best at our firm, as well as in the legal community as a whole.”

David Bederman is an associate with the firm who handles business litigation, insurance bad faith, intellectual property, civil rights, and catastrophic personal injury cases. He was part of the team of attorneys that obtained a $7 million settlement in a construction defect case in 2021.

Joseph Finnerty is an associate with the firm whose practice focuses on catastrophic personal injury, toxic tort, wrongful death, and civil rights. Mr. Finnerty has successfully represented clients against individuals, government entities and multi-billion-dollar companies. His practice is motivated by his desire to serve the community and protect consumers against injustice. Mr. Finnerty was part of the team that obtained a $5.75 million settlement in a traumatic brain injury case in 2021.

Farid Golshani is an associate with the firm, and his practice focuses on assisting property owners with recovering what is rightfully owed to them under their insurance policies. Mr. Golshani worked full time with the firm while attending Southwestern Law School’s part-time evening program. Thanks to his years of experience in the field, Mr. Golshani has amassed substantial experience in policy interpretation and coverage. He was a member of the team that obtained a $1.6 million settlement in an insurance bad faith case, as well as part of the team that obtained a $1.4 million settlement in a separate bad faith matter, both in 2021.

Michael Harutunian is an associate with the firm where he zealously fights on behalf of his clients to receive the maximum compensation available to them. Mr. Harutunian passionately advocates for his clients’ rights from the inception of the claim and continuing through litigation. He was also a member of the team that obtained a $7 million settlement in a construction defect case.

ACTS Law partners Danny Abir, Alexander Cohen, Boris Treyzon, Robert Finnerty and Terry Bailey were named 2022 Super Lawyers.

This is the largest number of attorneys recognized as Super Lawyers in the firm’s history, capping an amazing 12-month period where the firm obtained more than $70 million in verdicts, settlements, and awards on behalf of its clients.

Danny Abir is one of the founding partners of ACTS Law and currently serves as its managing partner.  He is responsible for running the day-to-day operations of the firm. Equally important, Danny leads the strategic planning of clients’ cases in the areas of property damage claims, insurance bad faith, catastrophic personal injuries, and products liability. Mr. Abir had a prolific 2021 as Managing Partner for ACTS Law. He’s been extremely outspoken in his opposition to the movement that would allow nonlawyers to practice law and have ownership of law firms. He authored several articles highlighting the efforts of Bigtech and corporate America to subvert the legal system by allowing “para-professionals” to practice law.  Mr. Abir was recognized by the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles with their 2021 Presidential Award for his efforts. 

Alexander Cohen is a founding partner of ACTS Law, where he represents individuals, business and commercial property owners in residential and commercial property damage losses throughout the United States. In 2021, Mr. Cohen obtained numerous seven-figure settlements in insurance bad faith cases. He properly navigates the claims and recovers insurance benefits for his clients, particularly when claims have been underpaid or denied. Mr. Cohen has developed a reputation among insurance companies and defense counsels as an expert in insurance law and coverage. He is a longtime consumer advocate and has specialized in the representation of policyholders in insurance bad faith and insurance coverage matters since 1999. 

Boris Treyzon is a founding partner of ACTS Law and serves as the firm’s lead trial attorney. He represents individuals and businesses in complex litigation matters, catastrophic personal injury cases, and insurance bad faith. He was named the 2021 Trial Lawyer of the Year by the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles (CAALA). He obtained several impressive results for his clients in 2021, including a $5.9 million verdict in an insurance bad faith trial, an $8.2 million verdict in a catastrophic personal injury trial, a $5.75 million settlement in a traumatic brain injury case, and a $3 million settlement in a product liability matter.

During his career, Robert Finnerty has earned a reputation among judges and fellow attorneys as a skilled and tenacious trial lawyer. He is a member of two invitation-only trial organizations that aim to recognize the highest achievements in trial advocacy, professionalism, and civility. As an advocate of the American Board of Trial Advocates, he has tried over 75 trials to verdict, and as a member of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, he has been recognized by his peers domestically and internationally for his trial skills.  In 2021, Mr. Finnerty obtained a  seven million dollar settlement in a corporate malfeasance matter.

In addition to obtaining results like a $7 million settlement in a construction defect case, Terry Bailey was hard at work fighting for justice on behalf of his clients. Growing up in a family that worked in the construction industry, Terry spent much of his early years in and around construction sites, then worked in the business as a teenager and into his adulthood. It was at those building sites where Terry learned the family mottos and built his work ethic: Be early. Work hard. Do the right thing. Given his background, Terry understands the rigors of construction work, the importance of precision and attention to detail in the building industry and is tuned in to the fact that people’s needs outweigh any business plan or profit margin.
