Meet Daniel Setareh
Attorney Daniel Setareh received his Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology from UCLA prior to attending Southwestern School of Law where he received his Juris Doctorate degree. He was admitted to practice law before the California Supreme Court and other lower state courts, United States District Court-Central District, and United State Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in 2007.
During law school, he studied international business transactions and white-collar crime during a summer abroad program in Argentina and interned for the City Attorney’s office in Santa Monica. Prior to opening his own firm, Attorney Setareh worked for one of the top consumer firms in Los Angeles, Khorrami, Pollard & Abir, as an associate working on class action, mass torts and personal injury cases.
For approximately six years, Daniel Setareh worked as an associate under a skilled trial attorney, Law Offices of Armen M. Tashjian and handled all aspects of the firm’s cases, including litigation, trial and is a member of Consumer Attorneys of Los Angeles and the Beverly Hills Bar Association. He is married and is an avid Lakers fan.
Please describe a case(s) in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
I represented a single mother of a paraplegic 21 year old whose burglary claim was denied by Allstate Insurance. I could tell from my conversations with the client that she had lost hope and I was her last chance. I immediately stepped in and went after Allstate for its deliberate indifference in handling its insured’s claim in a lawful and reasonable manner. Not only was I able to recover the benefits owed under the claim, but I forced Allstate into compensating this deserving client for her emotional distress and pain and suffering. Although I have been involved in more substantial cases, this one hits home for me because I felt that I gave some hope to this person’s life who had endured much stress and grief.
How did you build a successful practice?
By building a strong relationship with your clients and keeping them informed at all times about their cases, no matter how big or small their case is. Too often unfortunately, professionals have a habit of not responding to their clients or simply not caring about their case. With me it’s different. Every one of my client’s cases is a priority for me and I strive on being responsive and keeping them informed at all stages.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
Obviously, track record and credentials are important but I do not think they should be the determining factor. I think the most important thing is for the client to find a lawyer who truly cares about them and their case and will do anything in their power to fight for them.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
Whether they have a viable case, the weakness in their position, the potential value of their case, advice on what to do and what to refrain from doing, etc.
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?
Ability, trust, reputation and results
What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
Helping clients who can’t find the battle on their own.
