Michael Alder
Owner/Senior Trial Attorney
Attorney
Arman Petrosian is a licensed California personal injury attorney at Alder Law, P.C., where he has handled a significant volume of complex litigation matters and successfully settled millions of dollars on behalf of his clients. Arman earned his Juris Doctorate from the University of West Los Angeles School of Law in 2024, graduating with honors, Cum Laude. He is a member of the Beverly Hills Bar Association and the Armenian Bar Association.
His practice spans a wide range of personal injury cases, including trucking accidents, wrongful death, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, auto v. pedestrian, auto v. motorcycle, rideshare liability against Uber and Lyft, slip and fall, trip and fall, dog bite, and first-party bad faith claims. He has taken cases through arbitration and has several trials currently on the horizon.
What sets Arman apart from other personal injury attorneys is more than a decade of firsthand experience in the trucking industry before he ever stepped into a courtroom. He owned and operated multiple trucking companies running dry vans, reefers, and power-only tractors on interstate routes nationwide. He owned a licensed freight brokerage with offices in Southern California and Yerevan, Armenia, and operated warehouses across the country providing third-party logistics services. That background gives him an insider’s command of federal trucking regulations, broker liability, shipper and manufacturer responsibility, and the industry’s operational realities from the ground up. In trucking cases, Arman pursues accountability from every responsible party, not just the carrier’s insurer, and knows precisely where to look.
Arman is as committed to client service as he is to results. Every client has his direct personal cell number and can reach him with any question at any time. That accessibility is a value he carried over from the trucking world, where relationships and responsiveness are everything.
Outside the office, Arman is a family man who cherishes time with his wife and children. A car enthusiast since childhood, he has had a lifelong passion for automobiles. He is an avid golfer and an enthusiastic traveler who enjoys exploring the world with his wife, immersing himself in new cultures and destinations. He is also a passionate home cook who approaches the kitchen with the same precision and creativity he brings to his cases. He sees cars, golf, cooking, and travel the way he sees the law: they reward focus, curiosity, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
