In a state where labor laws are as strong as the workers they protect, the Law Offices of Eric A. Boyajian (LOEAB, pronounced “LOW AB”) has built a reputation as both a fierce advocate for employees and a strategic partner for employers. Based in Glendale’s Historic Downtown and serving clients throughout California, the firm combines aggressive litigation with forward-thinking compliance strategies and has earned a 98% success rate, along with recognition as a trusted ally for wronged workers and a powerful deterrent to corporate misconduct.
At its core, LOEAB is driven by a mission to restore dignity to individuals impacted by workplace injustice while equipping businesses with the knowledge and tools to build legally sound, respectful work environments. The firm’s approach is rooted in the belief that fairness in the workplace strengthens not only individual lives but entire communities.
“Our work isn’t about billable hours. It’s about righting wrongs and creating lasting impact,” says Founder Eric A. Boyajian. “I’ve seen too many hardworking people, especially immigrants and first-generation Americans like my own parents, get taken advantage of by powerful corporations who think the rules don’t apply to them. That’s why we fight with heart, strategy, and an unyielding commitment to doing good. Whether it’s securing life-changing compensation for an employee or helping a small business avoid a devastating lawsuit, every action we take is fueled by the belief that fair workplaces lift us all.”
Boyajian began his legal career in 2005 on the defense side, later serving as in-house counsel before launching LOEAB in 2012. That dual perspective, understanding how employers defend claims while advocating for employees who have been harmed, has become one of the firm’s defining strengths. Drawing from his Southern California roots and his family’s immigrant story, Boyajian built a practice grounded in empathy, precision, and results. Under his leadership, the firm has recovered millions of dollars for California workers and prevented substantial financial losses for businesses through proactive legal counsel.
LOEAB’s online platform, www.loeab.com, serves as a valuable educational resource for Californians. The site features timely blog posts addressing developments such as wage theft settlements and evolving minimum wage requirements, which in 2026 range from $16.90 statewide to over $20 in certain high-cost cities. Visitors can access compliance checklists, explore detailed explanations of their rights and responsibilities, and request free consultations, reflecting the firm’s commitment to education as a form of empowerment.
The firm places a strong emphasis on accessibility and community engagement. With bilingual capabilities and deep ties to diverse communities, including the Armenian diaspora, LOEAB ensures clients feel understood, supported, and represented at every stage of the legal process.
Comprehensive Representation for Employers and Employees
LOEAB provides tailored employment law services designed to address California’s complex and evolving regulatory landscape, including AB 5, the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), the California Labor Code, and DLSE guidelines. For employers, particularly small to mid-sized businesses across industries such as retail, technology, hospitality, healthcare, and startups, the firm offers preventive legal counsel aimed at minimizing risk before disputes escalate. Through flat-fee prevention strategies, policy drafting, workplace investigations, and compliance consulting, the firm helps businesses make informed decisions that protect employee rights while safeguarding the organization from costly litigation. Their philosophy is simple. One proactive call can stop most lawsuits before they start.
For employees, LOEAB offers contingency-based representation under its No Fee Guarantee, ensuring clients pay nothing unless the firm secures a recovery. The firm handles wrongful termination, retaliation, wage and hour disputes, discrimination claims involving race, age, gender, or disability, whistleblower protections, and other employment-related matters. By conducting meticulous investigations and uncovering damages others might overlook, including lost wages, emotional distress, punitive damages, and employer-paid attorney’s fees, the firm maximizes financial recoveries and ensures workers have meaningful access to justice, especially during moments of professional and personal vulnerability.
Notable Case Results
In Ramirez v. World Oil (Case No. 20STCV22351), LOEAB secured a $5.9 million jury verdict on behalf of a long-term employee who alleged wrongful termination and disability discrimination. After sustaining work-related injuries requiring elbow surgery, the employee was placed on indefinite leave rather than being reasonably accommodated. Following an 11-day trial in Los Angeles Superior Court, the jury awarded substantial economic and non-economic damages, along with $3 million in punitive damages after finding clear and convincing evidence of malice and oppression. The verdict sent a strong message regarding employer obligations under California’s disability accommodation laws.
In a class action against a pest control company (Case No. 21STCV45445), LOEAB overcame aggressive litigation tactics, including threats made against the lead plaintiff and attempts to enforce an invalid arbitration agreement. After filing a writ to challenge an incorrect trial court ruling, the firm ultimately secured a $315,000 settlement. Class members received an average of $11,250 each, significantly more than the nominal payments the employer initially attempted to distribute in exchange for broad claim releases.
In Vartanian v. FMI Inc. (Case No. 20STCV28138), LOEAB achieved a $3.5 million class action settlement against an aerospace defense contractor accused of violating California labor laws and failing to implement adequate workplace safety protections during the COVID-19 pandemic. The lawsuit alleged meal break violations, improper timekeeping practices, and concealment of workplace exposures. The settlement not only compensated affected employees but also reinforced accountability standards for employers operating during public health emergencies.
A Distinctive Approach to Employment Law
LOEAB’s unique value lies in its dual-sided expertise. Having represented both employers and employees, the firm understands the strategies companies use to defend against claims and applies that knowledge to build stronger cases for workers while helping businesses implement legally sound policies. This insider perspective allows the firm to draft comprehensive procedures, conduct thorough investigations into complaints of harassment or discrimination, and create workplace systems designed to withstand scrutiny.
The firm’s 98% success rate reflects a disciplined, research-driven approach to every case. Attorneys invest the time necessary to uncover critical details, navigate procedural complexities, and craft strategic arguments tailored to each client’s circumstances. This attention to detail often leads to faster resolutions and stronger outcomes.
LOEAB remains steadfast in its belief that no company is untouchable and no worker should feel powerless. By combining contingency-based advocacy for employees with flat-fee preventive solutions for employers, the firm bridges two worlds often seen as adversarial and demonstrates that strong compliance and strong advocacy ultimately serve the same goal, which is fair, lawful, and respectful workplaces across California.
Through free consultations, accessible client communication, and a 24/7 contact line, LOEAB continues to position itself as a results-oriented, client-centered leader in California employment law, protecting businesses from avoidable risk while delivering justice to workers who need it most.
