Biography

Bobby Saadian, Esq., a renowned attorney and nationally recognized law firm business operator, is the Founder of Wilshire Law Firm, one of California's largest and most successful plaintiff law firms. A distinguished graduate of Pepperdine University, he earned both his Juris Doctor and Master of Business Administration degrees and was subsequently honored as the Law School’s Young Alumnus of the Year for his outstanding professional achievement and social advocacy.

In 2007, Bobby founded Wilshire Law Firm with a clear mission: to protect the rights of people who have been harmed by others. What began as a single-attorney practice has grown into one of California's most respected and well-known law firms for victims of personal injury, employee rights violations, and corporate misconduct. As of 2026, the firm has grown to over 100 attorneys and 500 team members, having recovered in excess of $3 billion for its clients.

Wilshire Law Firm’s outstanding results have consistently been recognized by numerous organizations and publications. In 2024, Wilshire Law Firm earned more placements on Top Verdict's "Top 100 Personal Injury Settlements in California" list than any other firm in the state. Among the firm's notable results is a $28.7 million settlement on behalf of an 11-year-old student catastrophically injured while walking home from school — recognized by TopVerdict.com as the #1 highest Pedestrian Accident Settlement, and one of the highest Personal Injury Settlements in California, in the year 2019.

Bobby's professional achievements have been consistently recognized by the legal industry's most respected authorities. He has been named to Best Lawyers® and Super Lawyers® every year since 2019, holds the AV Preeminent® Rating from Martindale-Hubbell, which is the highest possible rating for ethical standards and legal ability, and carries a perfect 10.0 "Superb" rating on Avvo. Wilshire Law Firm has been ranked among the nation's "Best Law Firms" by U.S. News & World Report/Best Lawyers® for seven consecutive years (2020–2026).

A committed leader in the legal community, Bobby serves on the Dean's Council at Pepperdine University Caruso School of Law and on the Boards of the Consumer Attorneys of California (CAOC) and the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles (CAALA). He is a lifetime member of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, The National Trial Lawyers: Top 100, and the National Association of Distinguished Counsel, and previously served as President of the National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40 (2017) and is also a Past President of the National Trial Lawyers Top 25 Motor Vehicle Trial Lawyers (2019). Additionally, he has been named a Finalist for Consumer Attorney of the Year by CAOC. Bobby Saadian was also a recipient of the Daily Journal CLAY (California Lawyer Attorney of the Year) Award in 2024. Among Bobby’s many accolades, he was recognized among the Most Influential Minority Lawyers of 2016 by the Los Angeles Business Journal.

In addition to working hard for his success, Bobby is deeply committed to giving back, both to the legal community and society at large. Mr. Saadian serves as a Board Member Emeritus of Los Angeles Trial Lawyer Charities to which he has donated substantially and volunteered over the years countless times from mentoring and tutoring children to feeding homeless and providing food, clothing, shelter and comfort items to the less fortunate members of his local community and abroad. His philanthropic work extends to countless organizations including but not limited to Ambulances for Israel through Magen David Adom, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the Epilepsy Foundation, the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, the Wounded Warriors Project, the Magbit Foundation, Friends of the IDF, AIPAC, multiple educational facilities including Wilshire Blvd Synagogue and Brawerman Elementary, and last but not least, his very near and dear Pepperdine University School of Law, among many others. In 2017, Bobby also launched Wilshire Law Firm's Academic Scholarship Program, committed to helping the next generation of lawyers succeed at various institutions including Pepperdine University.
