Partner

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 as 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. This strategic planning includes creating and implementing the most effective legal strategies to maximize what the firm’s clients can recover from alleged wrongdoers.

Danny has a passion for helping those who cannot help themselves. His extensive law career has fulfilled that passion by allowing him to be an advocate for the underdog and the underserved. “I always rooted for David versus Goliath. Becoming a consumer attorney allows me to protect the legal rights of consumers and citizens against big corporations. I love helping people by protecting their legal rights. That is the best part about being an attorney.”

Work for Firm
After co-founding the firm in 2016, Danny has helped grow ACTS Law to more than 20 lawyers with an impressive record of over $500 million in recoveries for their clients. The legal team handles major cases in California and across the United States. Danny is a fierce leader and involved in all key aspects of the firm. He interacts with all of its staff members and is on a never-ending quest to find team members who fit the culture he helped create—a culture of fighting for justice and always working to serve clients’ needs. 

Even while handling many of the firm’s business needs, Danny has represented clients in some of the firm’s most important cases over the years: 

• Represented the family of a victim of an officer-involved wrongful death matter in Las Vegas with Boris Treyzon 
• Worked on several major mass tort cases involving pharmaceutical companies and defective small home appliances
• Represented victims of fraudulent transfers of assets and judgment enforcement leading to a verdict valued in the tens of millions of dollars.
• Represented vendors enforcing judgments against a celebrity entertainer that drew media attention

“Every case where we’ve had an impact on someone’s life has truly touched me. It is a constant reminder that what we’re doing here at ACTS Law can change our clients’ lives for the better.”

When the COVID-19 pandemic brought society to a halt, Danny’s preparation and vision helped the firm transition to virtual work with little disruption. Danny invested in keeping the collegial culture alive through virtual events and focused on continuing to do business with vendors who were willing to be flexible. Moving forward, he hopes more attorneys and law firms will strive to be better prepared for changing economic fortunes and other uncontrollable factors that may affect their business.

Partner

Boris Treyzon is a founding partner of Abir Cohen Treyzon Salo, LLP 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. Boris started his own firm, Treyzon and Blank, in 1998 after working outside the field of law, specializing in commercial real estate and international trade. Treyzon and Associates merged into ACTS Law in 2016. Boris’ experience in the business world has helped him in the courtroom, notably learning how to motivate people. That skill comes in handy when working with jurors, a group of people he doesn’t know and has to engage and convince for success in the case. 

Boris’ first venture into trial law came in an immigration case, representing an individual incarcerated in a federal facility. Since then, he has handled cases with zealous representation of his clients. He is a staunch believer in the solemn duties and importance of jury trials. Boris believes everyone has a story worth hearing, and when engaging the justice system, deserves an opportunity to pursue justice for their situation as they so desire. He believes the most fulfilling moment in his work is standing with his client as they await the verdict. 

Work for Firm
Working for ACTS Law is a very different experience for Boris compared to working with other firms. He sees ACTS Law as 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.

“As long as the mantra is, ‘The Client Always Comes First,’ everybody’s decisions are geared towards that outcome. No supervision, no permission, no overrides required. Do whatever you can do to make sure the client comes first.”

Boris has handled a variety of different cases for ACTS Law. Some of his more notable cases include:

• A cyclist permanently injured along a poorly maintained and neglected stretch of roadway
• A man injured in an assault by security staff at a bar
• Victims of police shootings in Los Angeles and Las Vegas
• Victims of defective small home appliances
• Unpaid subcontractors seeking monies owed by city government
• Victims of property damage against insurance companies and city government
• Victim of police assault
  

Boris handles much of the work for a client as the firm’s lead trial lawyer. He is involved throughout the 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, what do they need? We answer the one most important question the jury never asks: what is the money for?”
