Upon graduation from law school, Aslin joined a firm specializing in medical malpractice defense.   After practicing on the defense side for 2 years, Aslin knew she belonged on the other side, representing the injured and fighting for those who can’t fight alone.  Aslin prides herself on representing her clients with passion and integrity, holding her clients’ hands through some of their darkest days. Her colleagues call her “tiger girl” and her clients call her their friend.  She loves  nothing more than standing up for the “little guy” and making sure their voices are heard, both in and out of the courtroom.  Currently, Aslin represents many individuals and their families in significant personal injury and wrongful death cases.  As a native of Porter Ranch, Aslin represented hundreds of individuals affected by the Porter Ranch Gas Leak.  The matter resoled in 2022 for  $1.8 billion.  She and her firm also successfully resolved the Exide toxic tort case, recovering over $14 million to date as one of the lead attorneys for 675 plaintiffs.

Born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, Aslin is multilingual, speaking English, Armenian, and Turkish. Her greatest and most proud accomplishment is being Mom to her two children. Outside of the courtroom, you will find Ms. Tutuyan in a gym, on a running track or teaching indoor cycling classes.  She is a loyal “Pelotoner” and loves riding with her fellow Law Mamas.  Aslin has recently also become a fur mommy to Teddy, who she describes as the littlest love of her life.
