About PLG
An Encino firm built around one attorney who still works the file.
Pehlevanian Law Group, APC was founded by Zaven A. Pehlevanian to give California clients direct access to counsel on family, injury, property, business, and related civil matters.
Attorney profile
Zaven A. Pehlevanian
Zaven A. Pehlevanian founded the firm to give clients a lawyer who knows the file, appears prepared, and explains the next step in plain language. Hearings are worked up. Deadlines are watched. You are not handed off to someone who just opened the folder.
As an attorney, Mr. Pehlevanian has successfully handled divorce litigation and Requests for Orders involving custody of children, child support, spousal support, property division, and domestic violence restraining orders. He also represents clients in personal injury, real estate, business, bankruptcy, and selected criminal defense matters, including DUI.
The firm is not a “one size fits all” office. Each matter is analyzed on its own facts, with a plan designed to reach a practical result and to avoid unnecessary litigation and expense when that is possible. When a case must be tried, the office prepares it that way from the start.
Credentials
Education, licensure, and related experience
Law school
J.D., University of West Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California.
Bar admission
Admitted to the State Bar of California. Attorney No. 330750. License status: Active.
Languages
English and Armenian — by the attorney, not only by staff. That matters in Encino, the San Fernando Valley, and throughout Los Angeles County.
Real estate
Licensed California real estate broker, with more than a decade of experience as an agent and broker. That background informs every purchase, sale, default, short sale, and foreclosure matter the firm handles.
Aviation
FAA-licensed aircraft mechanic as well as an attorney. Clients with aviation issues get counsel who already understands the industry, not a generalist reading the FAR for the first time.
