"I was involved in a highly challenging legal matter as the respondent in a Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) case. Unable to represent myself effectively, the DVRO was unjustly granted, which had a devastating impact on my life and career. The petitioner continued to harass me afterward, filing seven baseless contempt charges that carried serious criminal consequences. Despite reaching out to many attorneys, no one was willing to help someone with a DVRO against them—except Levon and his partner at LA DEFENSE TEAM They took the time to listen, understand the complexity of my case, and truly advocate for me. Levon’s deep legal knowledge, strategic thinking, and unwavering support from start to finish changed the course of my case. In court, Levon was bold, assertive, and precise. He asked the tough, intuitive questions that exposed the petitioner’s malicious intent. The petitioner—motivated by jealousy—admitted on record that I had never been physically or verbally abusive, despite being a significantly smaller woman. Still, he used his wealth, acting skills, and expensive legal connections to secure the original order. Levon dismantled this narrative with expert cross-examination. In one key moment, he questioned why the petitioner never mentioned harassment in two prior sworn declarations. The petitioner faltered, contradicting himself and the inconsistency was undeniable. In another moment, when the petitioner began fake crying and claimed I ruined his career, Levon simply asked, “What do you do for a living?” The answer—“I’m a professional actor”—spoke for itself. That single answer—considering the circumstances—spoke volumes. The judge saw through the performance immediately. Without needing closing arguments. It was ruled I am innocent until proven guilty, and the petitioner failed to meet the burden of proof—despite having an expensive legal team. Levon is not only skilled and strategic, but he also listens, believes in his clients, and delivers results in the courtroom.If you're facing a complex or emotionally charged legal battle, I cannot recommend LA DEFENSE TEAM Levon highly enough. He is not only a brilliant strategist but also a tireless advocate who fights for justice when others won't even listen."

"I recently had the chance to speak with Levon from the La Défense team, and I’m beyond grateful for the time and advice he gave me. Even though it was just a conversation, he treated me with genuine respect, kindness, and professionalism. His attitude was amazing—calm, reassuring, and incredibly helpful. Levon didn’t just give me legal advice; he listened, explained things clearly, and made sure I felt understood and supported. You can tell he’s not only a great attorney but also a truly good person. If this is how La Défense treats people just seeking guidance, I can only imagine how excellent their full representation must be. I highly recommend Levon and his team to anyone who needs honest, knowledgeable, and compassionate legal help."
