Jon StojanPersonal injury is a massive industry in the US, with 39.5 million personal injury cases annually. Los Angeles itself is one of the most densely populated areas of the country and, as such, has one of the highest accident rates. With such high rates of accidents in this county, one finds many personal injury attorneys. In this landscape of personal injury attorneys, a firm stands out for its legal abilities and commitment to empowering women in a traditionally male-dominated field. Omega Law Group, PC, founded by brothers Edwin and Robin Saghian alongside husband and wife Gabriella Naysan and Shahab Mossavar-Rahmani, has made it their mission to champion gender equality both inside and outside the courtroom.
The origins of this law firm can be traced back to the diverse backgrounds of its founders who have decades of experience. Edwin and Robin initially started their careers in 2009. They found common ground with Gabriella Naysan, a solo practitioner who specialized in personal injury cases, and her husband Shahab Mossavar-Rahmani. In 2016, they decided to merge their practices, pooling their resources and expertise to form Omega Law.
From its inception, the law firm set out to be more than just another law firm. It was built on the principle of inclusivity, with gender equality woven into its very DNA. Unlike many firms where women might struggle to break through the glass ceiling, Omega Law fosters an environment where female attorneys thrive and are strengthened to take on leadership roles.
One such trailblazer at Omega Law is Lourdes De Armas, Partner and Lead Trial Attorney. In a profession where female trial attorneys are a rarity, Lourdes stands out not just for her gender but for her exceptional skill in the courtroom. With a career dedicated to representing plaintiffs in high-stakes personal injury cases, Lourdes has earned recognition as one of the top trial attorneys in California. As she always says, “There are no women trial attorneys. We are trial attorneys who happen to be women.” This encapsulates her approach to breaking down gender barriers in the legal profession. Lourdes’ achievements speak for themselves, with numerous accolades that include being named Best Lawyer of America for Personal Injury Litigation and securing multiple Top 100 verdicts in the state of California also gaining accreditation as being listed in the top 50 women and top 100 lawyers from Super Lawyers California.
Beyond her courtroom victories, Lourdes is a driving force for change in the legal community. She is actively involved in organizations like the American Board of Trial Advocates and The League of Women Trial Attorneys, where she advocates for gender equality and mentors the next generation of female attorneys. She is also a vocal advocate for survivors of sexual assault and harassment to raise awareness and effect change.
Omega Law continues to make waves in the legal world, creating hope for ambitious female attorneys everywhere. And with trailblazers like Lourdes De Armas and Gabriella Naysan leading the charge, the future of female empowerment in the legal profession looks brighter than ever.
