Mory Ahmadi

I’m Morvarid “Mory” Ahmadi, a senior trial attorney based in the Los Angeles office of The Barnes Firm. Before joining the firm, I spent a decade running my own practice, during which I represented thousands of clients in personal injury matters—ranging from auto and motorcycle accidents to dog bites and slip-and-falls.

What truly sets my practice apart is my deep roots in Southern California and my commitment to a client-first approach. I take the time to understand each client’s unique needs and build a tailored strategy to pursue the best possible outcome—whether that means resolving the case through settlement or advocating fiercely in court. My background of solo practice combined with the significant resources of The Barnes Firm allows me to blend personalized attention with powerful representation.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?

In California, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the accident. If you don’t file within that time, you may lose your right to seek compensation. There are some exceptions—like claims against a government entity—which have much shorter deadlines. That’s why it’s important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible so we can protect your rights and make sure your case is filed on time.

How long will my personal injury case take?

It depends on the details. Some cases settle in just a few months, while others may take longer if they involve complex injuries, disputes over liability, or trial. My focus is on making sure we don’t rush a settlement but instead secure the compensation you need for both your current and future recovery.

What types of accident cases do you handle?

I represent clients in a wide range of personal injury matters, including car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, slip-and-falls, dog bites, and wrongful death claims. No matter the case, my approach is the same: to give each client the personalized attention they deserve while pursuing the maximum recovery possible.

What does it cost to hire you as my attorney?

At The Barnes Firm, there are no upfront fees. I work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay anything unless we win your case. This allows you to focus on healing while we fight for the best possible outcome.

What should I do if I’m injured in a hit-and-run in Los Angeles?

Hit-and-runs are a serious issue in LA. If you’re the victim of one, call 911 right away, get medical help, and try to note as many details as possible about the vehicle or driver. Even if the driver is never found, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured motorist coverage. I help clients pursue all available options to make sure they aren’t left paying the price for someone else’s negligence.

One of the most challenging parts of personal injury law in Los Angeles is the complexity and variety of cases we see. With so much traffic, so many drivers, and such a large population, accidents often involve multiple parties, serious injuries, and insurance companies that fight hard to limit what they pay out. It can also be difficult for clients who are trying to focus on their recovery while dealing with mounting medical bills and uncertainty about the future.

What keeps me motivated through those challenges is knowing that I can take that burden off my clients’ shoulders. At The Barnes Firm, we have the resources and experience to stand up to big insurance companies, and I take pride in fighting for the justice and compensation that help people move forward after some of the hardest moments in their lives.

What I’d like clients to know is that they don’t have to go through this process alone. After an accident, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, but at The Barnes Firm, we’re here to take on the legal fight so clients can focus on healing. Having run my own practice before joining the firm, I know how important it is to combine personal attention with the resources of a large, experienced team.

At the end of the day, my greatest reward is helping people get the justice and support they deserve so they can move forward with their lives. That’s the commitment I bring to every client I represent.
