Levon Shant Yepremian represents employees in labor and employment disputes involving wage-and-hour violations, workplace discrimination, harassment, retaliation, class actions, and PAGA matters. His practice focuses heavily on employment cases that require both individual advocacy and the ability to navigate broader workplace issues affecting large groups of employees. Levon approaches employment litigation with a strong belief that effective representation begins with communication. Many of his clients are navigating a legal dispute for the first time, often after experiencing abrupt changes to their financial stability, professional identity and daily lives. He emphasizes keeping clients informed throughout every stage of the process, helping them understand the legal strategy behind a case and what to realistically expect as litigation progresses. Clients consistently value his responsiveness, direct communication style, and honest assessment surrounding their cases. His practice includes both individual employment disputes and complex representative actions involving large numbers of employees. Levon understands that wage-and-hour and PAGA litigation frequently involves more than a single workplace disagreement. These cases often require investigating company-wide practices, analyzing extensive records and advocating for hundreds or even thousands of workers whose claims could potentially go unheard. One matter that reflects his approach involved negotiating a settlement on behalf of an employee against a former employer who later failed to pay the agreed-upon amount. Rather than allowing the matter to stall, Levon and the firm returned to court, secured a judgment against the employer and the employer’s assets, and pursued a bank levy to recover the client’s settlement funds. For Levon, the case reflects his belief that representation does not end once an agreement is reached if the client has still not received the owed results. Levon earned his undergraduate degree from the University of California, Irvine before attending Loyola Law School in downtown Los Angeles. He is licensed to practice law in the State of California and before the United States District Court for the Central District of California.

Vaché Thomassian is a founding partner of KJT Law Group, LLP, responsible for the firm’s overall direction and operations. He represents individuals and families in personal injury and employment matters, including car and truck accidents, premises liability, wrongful death, and wage and hour violations. He focuses on cases where people are forced to take on institutions with far greater resources and is driven by the challenge of facing and fighting what can seem like uphill battles. Across his practice, Vaché approaches cases with a simple premise: what looks straightforward rarely is. In serious accident matters, early assumptions often leave critical facts and responsible parties unexamined. In one case, what appeared to be a standard vehicle collision led to the identification of a separate third party whose role significantly changed the outcome. Central to his approach is questioning the obvious, investigating thoroughly and pursuing every available path to recovery. From the first conversation, Vaché is direct while listening carefully to understand both what happened and what the client needs. He moves quickly to preserve evidence, document injuries, and identify all potential defendants while keeping clients informed at every meaningful stage. He does not believe in sugarcoating a case. Clients are given a clear understanding of where things stand, why decisions are being made, and what they can expect moving forward. Clients value that combination of honesty and genuine care. Many come to him during some of the most difficult moments of their lives, such as after a serious injury, a loss, or a workplace that treated them as disposable. Vaché sees his role as making sure nothing else goes wrong on his watch, and that however complex, the legal process remains grounded in clarity and purpose. His path to the law was shaped by a longstanding commitment to social justice. He views personal injury and employment law as tools to correct imbalance, whether that means holding companies accountable for unsafe conditions or ensuring workers receive what they are rightfully owed. Vaché earned his Juris Doctor from Loyola Law School, Los Angeles, and holds a master’s degree from Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs and a bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Berkeley. He is licensed in California and in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

Through years of practicing criminal law in Southern California, Michael has built relationships with prosecutors and judicial officers based on his ability to identify strong legal and factual defenses for his clients.

He also has successfully worked with expert witnesses on DUIs, DNA, gangs, accident reconstruction, mental health, and other issues to develop defenses and prepare the best arguments for pre-trial and trial phases. Michael graduated from Southwestern University School of Law in 2005.

Mr. Novak is the founding partner of our firm. He was born on the great Canadian prairies in the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba. After a distinguished educational career at the University of Manitoba, he attended the University of North Dakota School of Law. He was named on the academic dean’s list for his entire six semesters of law school and was awarded the degree of Juris Doctor With Distinction. Following graduation from law school, he hung up his hockey skates and moved to the gentler climate of California. Since 1998 Mr. Novak has based his practice of law in the Southern California area. However, he has actively litigated cases throughout the State of California, and the United States. Mr. Novak has established himself as a well-respected trial attorney in the region. In particular, he is renowned for his keen legal mind and aggressive litigation approach. His commitment to fighting for clients’ rights has led to the recovery of in excess of $130,000,000.00 in verdicts or settlements for clients within the past twenty-two years of his practice. Before concentrating his practice on protecting the rights of individuals, Mr. Novak worked for several years as a defense attorney handling primarily large-loss cases on behalf of numerous entertainment production companies, large corporations, and insurance companies. During this time period, he successfully protected clients from exposure to multi-million dollar claims for damages.

Caspar Jivalagian is a founding partner of KJT Law Group, LLP, a Los Angeles personal injury and complex litigation firm. He concentrates his practice on difficult liability cases, catastrophic injury claims and premises liability matters. These are cases that require not just legal knowledge, but creative strategy, disciplined investigation and the strength to stay in a fight longer than the other side expects. Caspar built his career at prominent Los Angeles law firms before co-founding KJT, developing deep experience across workers’ compensation, serious personal injury and complex civil litigation. He also clerked for a Superior Court judge, drafting legal opinions and working closely on intricate matters. This experience sharpened his understanding of how cases are ultimately decided and what it takes to win. What further distinguishes Caspar is his approach to cases where liability is genuinely contested. He knows that insurance companies are accustomed to run-of-the-mill claims that resolve quickly. He instead focuses on matters that don’t, the kinds of cases that require painstaking evidence gathering, a well-constructed narrative and the patience to make the other side understand the seriousness of what they’re facing. In one class-action wage theft matter against a national retailer, Caspar made the deliberate decision to walk away from early settlement discussions and litigated the case for several additional years until the defense’s posture changed. This ultimately secured a substantially better outcome. Clients consistently value his calm under pressure and his commitment to setting realistic expectations. He believes every person who engages the firm is trusting him with something important, and that trust shapes everything from how he communicates to how he prepares. He gives clients a clear view of the whole process up front, breaks it into digestible pieces and keeps them focused on the result rather than any potential bump along the way. Beyond his practice, Caspar maintains a longstanding commitment to human rights advocacy. He holds leadership positions in local and international organizations and traveling regularly to Armenia, Artsakh, Washington D.C., and Sacramento to engage with diplomats and legislators on issues of justice and human rights. Caspar is licensed to practice law in the State of California and the United States District Court, Central District of California.

Mr. Movagar co-founded M&Y Personal Injury Lawyers with the goal of championing and defending the interests of individuals who have been physically injured or killed as a result of the negligence of another party. M&Y Personal Injury Lawyers elected to practice within this area of the law because personal injury victims are often the most vulnerable people who need legal representation the most. These victims have just undergone a serious injury and are not in a position to bring a personal injury claim and/or pursue a lawsuit. Also, because most people are unfamiliar with their rights in connection with a personal injury claim, the other side may take advantage of them by either denying their claim or offering to pay them much less than their claim is worth. This is where M&Y Personal Injury Lawyers steps into the case to ensure all of their clients’ rights are protected and that all clients get just and full compensation. Mr. Movagar presently represents wrongful death heirs and Plaintiff’s throughout the state of California that have been injured in every conceivable type of accident involving the negligence of another party. These include, but are not limited to, car accidents, motorcycle accidents, boating accidents, trucking accidents, premises liability cases, and animal attacks. Mr. Movagar works tirelessly to ensure each and every client gets just compensation and all necessary medical treatment so that they are made whole from the losses they sustained as result of the accident. Mr. Movagar has proudly recovered tens of millions of dollars for his clients and has been recognized by numerous publications, such as National Trial Lawyers, Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, Super Lawyers magazine and the Los Angeles Magazine, for the results he has obtained on behalf of his clients. On five separate years, Mr. Movagar has been selected as a “Rising Star” on the Southern California Super Lawyers list – an award given to less than 2.5% of practicing attorneys. In 2016, Mr. Movagar was recognized as a Super Lawyer by the California Super Lawyers Magazine. Mr. Movagar has also been recognized by the National Trial Lawyers Magazine as a top 100 trial lawyer in the country, and is also a proud member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum (which is a distinction for attorneys who have recovered $2 million or more on a single case). Prior to co-founding M&Y Personal Injury Lawyers, Mr. Movagar worked at an elite law firm in west Los Angeles. While there, Mr. Movagar represented Hilton Hotels Worldwide, Inc. (the world’s largest hotel company), Apartment Investment and Management Company (one of the nation’s largest owners and operators of apartment communities), Anschutz Entertainment Group (one of the leading sports and entertainment presenters in the world and the owner of the Staples Center), and Union Carbide Corporation (a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company). Mr. Movagar received his Juris Doctorate from Loyola Law School in downtown Los Angeles in 2004 and graduated Cum Laude with Order of the Coif Honors. While at Loyola Law School, Mr. Movagar was an Editor on the Entertainment Law Review and volunteered at the Disability Rights Legal Center, an organization that champions the civil rights of people with disabilities through advocacy, education and litigation. While in law school, Mr. Movagar also served as an extern at the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. In 2004, Mr. Movagar received the Commercial Law Student of the Year Award from the Los Angeles County Bar Association.
