Raffi Vartanian is a trial attorney committed to standing up for everyday people who have been harmed by companies that place profits over human safety. He believes institutions are often treated like citizens under the law—yet are rarely held to the same standards of decency and accountability. Raffi’s work focuses on restoring that balance through careful, relentless advocacy that treats every client as a person first.

Before joining Mandell Trial Lawyers, Raffi refined his skills on high-stakes trial teams known for their hands-on, individualized approach—focusing not on billboard-style volume but on cases that demand preparation, precision, and true courtroom presence. In just over three years of practice in Southern California, he has helped clients recover more than $11 million, earning a reputation for accuracy, empathy, and unwavering determination.

Raffi brings a modern edge to traditional trial work, combining courtroom experience with technology and cutting-edge litigation tools that make justice more accessible and transparent. He believes innovation should enhance compassion, not replace it—using data-driven insights to strengthen storytelling, outmaneuver the defense, and connect with juries on a human level.

He is a graduate of the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles Plaintiff’s Trial Academy, and in 2025 was recognized by The National Trial Lawyers among the Top 40 Under 40 Civil Plaintiff Trial Attorneys in California, the Top 25 Motor Vehicle Attorneys, and the Top 10 Probate and Trust Litigation Attorneys. In 2026, Raffi was also selected as a Super Lawyers Rising Star, an honor awarded to no more than 2.5% of attorneys in Southern California.

Outside the courtroom, Raffi mentors younger attorneys and continues to explore how technology can bridge the gap between people and the justice system. His client-first philosophy is grounded in preparation, compassion, and the willingness to fight when necessary.
