J&Y Law Celebrates Three Attorneys Named to Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® 2026

We are thrilled to announce that three members of the J&Y Law family – Alexander Boris, Arthur Dermendjian, and Parham Nikfarjam – have been selected for the Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® list for 2026. 

What Is the ‘Ones to Watch’ Recognition?

The Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® award honors attorneys in private practice who have demonstrated outstanding professionalism and promise within the first decade of their careers. The selection process relies on Best Lawyers’ Purely Peer Review® methodology. Attorneys are nominated and reviewed by their peers, and recipients are vetted to ensure both exceptional legal skill and professional standing. 

Highlights from Our Honorees

Alexander Boris, Esq.

Senior Trial Attorney Alexander Boris displayed his creativity and tenacity in a farm ranch accident claim. After the insurer offered $250,000, he skillfully combined an auto policy with a premises liability policy. The result? A $2.54 million settlement that allowed our client to get married and buy a house. 

“It was actually Jason Javaheri, our CEO and Co-founder, who first saw the potential for a premises liability angle in that case,” says Boris. “His mentorship pushed me to think outside the box. It took a site inspection and dozens of depositions, but we were able to secure a life-changing result for our client. I’m incredibly grateful for that kind of leadership here at J&Y Law.” 

Arthur Dermendjian, Esq.

As Pre-Litigation Managing Attorney, Arthur Dermendjian led J&Y Law through a record-breaking 2025, with the firm welcoming more new clients and resolving more cases than at any point in our 15-year history. His leadership has redefined excellence in pre-litigation care. 

“This award is truly a reflection of the entire team,” says Dermendjian. “From our case managers who constantly show up in five-star reviews because they genuinely care, to our Intake Team that treats every caller with empathy. And I can’t forget about our Negotiations Team that goes toe-to-toe with adjusters to maximize every client’s recovery. Success here is never a solo act. I’m honored to share this recognition with the entire J&Y Law family. Thank you!” 

Parham Nikfarjam, Esq.

This is Senior Trial Attorney Parham Nikfarjam’s second time on the Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® list. His 2026 recognition follows a landmark victory in a high-stakes premises liability case. After a row of carts was pushed into our client’s ankle at a retail store, he developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and required multiple surgeries. Nikfarjam secured a $5 million settlement against the retailer. 

“Behind every win is a team that is just as relentless as they are compassionate,” says Nikfarjam. “I’m lucky to work alongside such talented people at our firm. Each of them brings top-tier skill and heart to every case. I’m proud to be a part of that.” 

Building a Strong Foundation for the Future

Alexander Boris, Arthur Dermendjian, and Parham Nikfarm represent a new generation of leadership – bold, innovative, and client-centered. We couldn’t be prouder of them being named among the best. Their accomplishments reflect the drive, compassion, and excellence that define J&Y Law.
