Attorneys with the knowledge you need

The Law Office of Bryman & Apelian is a top-of-the-line personal injury practice serving clients throughout southern California. Our attorneys have extensive experience producing stellar results for victims of serious accidents, catastrophic injuries and wrongful deaths. In fact, we have earned our clients hundreds of millions of dollars in judgments over the course of our careers, and some of our case outcomes have brought about the removal of unsafe products from the marketplace and have even lead to the passing of new California law.

Though Seven and Eight figure verdicts or settlements are not an uncommon result for BRYMAN & APELIAN clients, the list of some of our cases below represents some of the results we are most proud of since they all were cases where our clients had either been told by other lawyers they had contacted before us that they had “no case” or were cases where the insurance company representing the defendants offered Zero dollars.
