Working with the firm

Results

This site does not publish case results. Here is why, and what past outcomes can and cannot tell you about your own matter.

Petrosyan Law Group does not publish case results, verdicts or settlement amounts. Every immigration, injury and workers' compensation matter turns on its own facts, evidence and law, so another client's outcome cannot predict yours. Under California's attorney advertising rules, any result a firm shares must be accurate and must not create an unjustified expectation. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Petrosyan Law Group does not publish case results: no verdicts, no settlement amounts and no lists of approved petitions. This page explains that choice, what past outcomes can and cannot tell you, and how you can get a clear view of your own matter instead.

Why does this site publish no case results?

This site publishes no case results because law firm case results, however impressive, tell you very little about your own case. A list of past wins leaves out too much. A settlement figure leaves out the injuries, the insurance limits and the evidence behind it. Likewise, an approved visa leaves out the history, the documents and the timing that made approval possible.

Client matters are also confidential. Publishing an outcome in useful detail would mean publishing facts that belong to the client. For that reason, the firm keeps those facts private.

What can past case results tell you?

Past results can show that a firm handles a certain kind of matter. However, they cannot show what your matter is worth, whether your petition will be approved, or how long it will take.

  • They can show Experience with a type of case, a court or an agency.
  • They cannot show The facts, evidence, insurance coverage, immigration history or law that will decide your matter.

Each practice line shows why. In an immigration case, the outcome turns on eligibility, evidence and the agency’s own review; the family immigration guide shows how many steps sit behind a single approval. For an injury claim, a figure depends on medical treatment, fault and the insurance available, as the guide to injury settlements explains. Workers’ compensation differs again, since the medical evidence drives the value and a judge must approve any settlement.

How can you judge your own matter instead of past case results?

The most reliable way to judge your own matter is to have an attorney review your facts. At a free first consultation, attorney Ani A. Petrosyan explains the options the law gives you, the steps involved and the risks. She bases that on your documents rather than on someone else’s outcome.

After that, the guide to how a matter moves from first call to close explains what happens next, and the fees and consultations page explains how each line is charged. You can also read what former clients say about working with the firm on the client reviews page.

Lawyers in California follow the State Bar’s Rules of Professional Conduct, which govern how a firm may describe its work. Under these attorney advertising rules, anything a firm says about past matters must be accurate and must not create an unjustified expectation about a new one.
