My son and I had AJ Kotanjian represent us after we were involved in a car accident. We were not at fault and after not getting effective responses from our car insurance company, we were advised by multiple friends and colleagues to call AJ Kotanjian. We were 100% satisfied with his services. He went above and beyond! He communicated with me and was straight forward with what was to happen. I have referred him to family and friends and we ALWAYS will. He is the best! Thank you, AJ! -Brian

Daniel S.
I highly recommend hiring AJ Kotanjian and his office. While he was a straight up cool guy from the start, I could not be more impressed with the professionalism. Being in a traffic incident was stressful enough so I was beyond grateful for AJ’s help with my claim, coordinating between the insurance company, repair shop and doctor offices. I appreciated the lightning fast responses, highly effective communicating, constant updates, and especially Mr. Kotanjian’s stern posture when demanding compensation from the other party’s insurance company. 10/10 for a completely stress free experience and incredibly smooth process til the very end.
