Her success extends beyond the courtroom, as she has continuously received recognition for her legal and entrepreneurial accolades, including selection as one of Orange County’s top attorneys by Orange County Metro and Orange Coast magazines in 2014 and 2015.

Since 1999, Ms. Ghassemian has defended numerous National and California construction companies in a variety of lawsuits ranging from multi-million dollar complex litigation matters to much smaller cases. On the construction side, she represents architects, engineers, home builders, custom homeowners as well as companies involved in construction.
