Four attorneys from KJT Law Group, a Glendale-based law firm, have been named to the 2027 Southern California Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists, an honor that recognizes outstanding legal professionals through a rigorous, peer-reviewed selection process.
Caspar Jivalagian, a founding partner who handles workers' compensation, catastrophic injury, and premises liability cases, and Aaron Turchin, a trial attorney with over two decades of experience in personal injury and workers' comp matters, were both named to the Super Lawyers list in the personal injury plaintiff practice area. This marks Jivalagian's first selection, while Turchin has now earned the honor three times.
In addition, Tro Semerjian, who represents clients in habitability and personal injury cases, and Levon S. Yepremian, who focuses on employment disputes such as discrimination, retaliation, and wage and hour claims, were named to the Rising Stars list. Semerjian was selected for the first time, while Yepremian has now been recognized five times.
The Super Lawyers designation is based on an independent evaluation process that includes peer nominations, research across 12 indicators of professional achievement, and peer review by practice area. Attorneys are entered into the candidate pool through nominations or the organization's own research, and finalists are rated by a panel of peers. The final list represents the top 5% of attorneys in the state. Rising Stars follows a similar process but is limited to attorneys who are 40 years old or younger or have practiced for 10 years or less, and it represents the top 2.5% of attorneys.
Selection cannot be purchased, and attorneys are not required to buy any product to be included. Before publication, Super Lawyers verifies each candidate's standing with their local licensing authority and confirms there are no outstanding disciplinary matters.
For KJT Law Group, this recognition provides independent, third-party validation of its attorneys' standing among their peers. It can also serve as a helpful guide for prospective clients seeking legal representation in complex personal injury and employment matters. The firm represents clients throughout California in cases involving motor vehicle and pedestrian accidents, workplace injuries, employment disputes, and tenant rights claims.
