Edwin Aiwazian is a chief executive officer based in Glendale, CA. The practice focuses on Employment and Personal Injury. Edwin has over 22 years of legal experience. Currently practicing at Lawyers for Justice.
With over 15 years of experience, I’ve dedicated my career to standing up for individuals, consumers, and victims whose voices deserve to be heard. As the CEO of Lawyers for Justice, P.C.®, I lead a team that fights every day to hold powerful corporations accountable for wage theft, discrimination, consumer fraud, and catastrophic injury.
Since launching the firm, I’ve litigated more than 1,000 class and complex cases and helped recover millions of dollars for tens of thousands of people. I’ve also been appointed as Class Counsel in over 85 cases, a responsibility that reflects both the trust of the courts and the impact of our work.
In 2026, I was honored to be recognized among The Top 50 Lawyers in America, an award that reflects not only my dedication but the incredible team that stands beside me.
I believe in practicing law with purpose — in using our collective experience to make a difference, build a culture rooted in integrity and teamwork, and pursue justice relentlessly for the people we represent.
