Arash Homampour

As the founder of The Homampour Law Firm, he has established its reputation as one of California’s premier trial firms, focusing on outlier results by taking a limited number of cases at a time.

Arash’s story is one of the American Dream with unwavering commitment and hard work, going from handling minor traffic cases to becoming a titan in the field of catastrophic injury/death litigation.
