At Markarian Law Firm, diversity isn’t merely a term—it’s the bedrock. Attorney Jon O. Markarian, our founder, holds the belief that a lawyer’s strength lies in a rich tapestry of personal and professional experiences. This breadth, according to him, serves as a wellspring for empathy, understanding, and ultimately, legal excellence. It’s a philosophy that has propelled Markarian Law Firm to its current pinnacle of success. Beyond the courtroom, Mr. Markarian’s credentials are a testament to his capabilities. A graduate of the University of California & Thomas Jefferson Law, he holds highly coveted certifications in International & Comparative Law.

As a prominent attorney, Mr. Markarian has been invited and asked to speak in front of sovereign nations governing bodies. However, his legal expertise is just one facet of his illustrious career and background. With over a quarter of a century of experience in a wide array of industries, Mr. Markarian has navigated diverse domains—leading businesses, serving non-profits, and delving into the realm of politics as an elected civil servant. This varied experience, coupled with leadership roles on numerous boards, fuels his ability to connect with clients and devise effective strategies on their behalf.

Currently licensed and practicing in both California and Washington D.C., Mr. Markarian applies his expertise across various fields: motor vehicle accidents, trucking accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall/trip and fall, UBER & Lyft accidents, premises liability, employment cases, wrongful or discriminatory terminations, wage & hour law, insurance litigation, government claims, and a variety of other civil matters. Whether securing justice for those wronged or injured or guiding entrepreneurs through intricate legal landscapes, his dedication remains unwavering.

His commitment also transcends the courtroom. Mr. Markarian serves as a boardmember at the Consumer Attorneys of California (CAOC), where he tirelessly advocates for the rights of millions of Californians, ensuring those who have been treated unfairly have a formidable voice. Mr. Markarian is a fighter, and one of his preeminent fights is for the fundamental pillar of our justice system: The right of an aggrieved party to have a jury trial.

Yet, Attorney Markarian is more than just a lawyer. When not championing clients’ rights, he can be found on the hiking trails of the Santa Monica and Santa Susana Mountains, conquering peaks on his mountain bike. Most importantly, he cherishes moments with his wife, their four children, and their family black lab, Simba.
