Boris Treyzon is one of the founding partners of ACTS LAW and serves as the firm’s lead trial attorney. He is widely recognized as one of the top trial lawyers in the nation, as he regularly obtains significant verdicts and settlements in some of the most complex cases ranging from catastrophic personal injury to business litigation to product liability.
His accomplishments and skills as a trial lawyer are routinely recognized by legal publications and peer organizations. Most recently, Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles (CAALA) honored him with their 2021 Trial Lawyer of the Year award and this year he was once again recognized as a Southern California Super Lawyer.
Mr. Treyzon’s numerous multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements over the past several years include:
Mr. Treyzon received his Juris Doctor in 1997 from University of La Verne School of Law and is admitted to practice in State Courts of the State of California, as well as US District Court. He is an active member of CAALA, Consumer Attorneys of California (CAOC), and American Association for Justice (AAJ). He also serves on the board of the Brain Society of California, a collaborative group of legal and medical professionals devoted to improving treatments and advocacy for traumatic brain injury patients. He has presented at past Society events, sharing his expertise in cross-discipline seminars.
Working for ACTS LAW is a very different experience for Boris compared to working with other firms. He sees ACTS LAW as a fully integrated business, where lawyers support each other and work together to win cases and help clients. He sees the firm as more flexible and with less procedural restraint, in the common objective of getting things done for clients.
Boris is heavily involved throughout the litigation process, handling motions and various hearings. He prides himself on working and advocating vigorously for all his clients. He understands his job as a trial lawyer is to motivate juries and guide them towards a common decision. In the past, Boris has been asked to serve as a temporary judge. He believes that despite the verdict, in favor of his client or not, the jury always gets it right.
Speaking of what he does for his clients, Boris said, “I try to actually, honestly portray them for who they are, why they’re here, where they’re going to be 10 years from now, and what they need. We answer the one most important question the jury never asks: what is the money for?”
At ACTS LAW, our skilled and knowledgeable attorneys represent victims in a broad array of case types. We are trial tested and zealous advocates for the rights of our clients. See how we’ve helped others, and how we can help you.
Boris is dedicated to CAALA, CAOC, and AAJ as they serve plaintiffs-only attorneys and not larger entities like corporations or governments. The personal impact of the work with individual clients gives him greater professional satisfaction. Boris also appreciates the opportunity to engage and share his experiences with younger lawyers, while they offer novel solutions to legal dilemmas not considered previously. He also has helped other lawyers use the firm’s facilities and resources to help clients. He believes this is part of “universal karma,” the firm’s responsibility to the legal community, and the common pursuit of justice.
“We defend human beings. We defend individuals. That’s the best part about it. When you represent human beings, you affect their lives and it’s a little bit more difficult but way more rewarding.”
