JUSTIN SHEGERIAN
Trial Attorney
Shegerian & Associates
Less than one year after passing the bar, Justin W. Shegerian stood before a Los Angeles jury as first chair trial counsel and returned the largest age discrimination verdict in United States history, a $103 million jury verdict in Slagel v. Liberty Mutual Insurance. It was his first trial as first chair. Previously, no attorney is known to have won a nine figure employment verdict in their first year of practice.
Shegerian developed the case narrative, delivering the opening statement and closing argument, conducting all key witness examinations, and introducing the documentary evidence that defined the liability theory. Shegerian has walked into courtrooms against seasoned defense firms and delivered outcomes that will shape how employers across the country assess the true cost of discrimination.
