Kamelia Jalilvand is the lead trial attorney at Jalilvand Law Corporation, a boutique law firm that she founded in 2009. It was at a very young age that Ms. Jalilvand knew she wanted to pursue a career in law and that she would one day represent those in need of justice. As a female born in Tehran, Iran in the 1980’s, Ms. Jalilvand was exposed to a culture where women had minimal or no rights. At a young age, she immigrated to the United States and embraced American culture. She was inspired to learn about the law to empower herself with the vision to help people who are in need of legal representation.
Today, Ms. Jalilvand utilizes her education and skills to represent injured persons having suffered serious and catastrophic injuries arising from automobile, trucking, motorcycle, and slip and fall accidents. Over the past decade, JLC has expanded from a solo practice to a well-respected and reputable firm serving the multicultural needs of the Los Angeles community.
From the beginning, she has shown no fear in litigating; successfully taking on big companies on behalf of her clients and helping the disadvantaged and underprivileged populations protect their rights and interests. She has dedicated most of her life to finding justice for those who have been wronged and always looks forward to making the impossible possible for her clients.
Kamelia Jalilvand and her team do everything within their power to provide the best results for their clients.
