Asatrian Law Group, founded by Top Lawyer Martin Asatrian, is a boutique firm specializing in employment, personal injury and immigration law. With over 20 years of legal practice, Martin takes pride in giving voice to the voiceless. Martin brings passion to every case, practicing with zealous advocacy while always protecting and pursuing his client’s best interests within the boundaries of the law.
With a critical eye, Martin gauges the needs and resilience of his clients to determine the best way to structure each case either through conventional and non-conventional methodologies. He combines highly analytical solutions, both in settlement and litigation, tempered with logic and a down-to-earth, pragmatic approach to advance justice and human rights. When Martin made the important decision to open up his own firm, he did so with a clear and well-defined vision. Always in pursuit to advance and protect his clients, Martin has looked to the wave of the future by developing a model to hire independent attorneys allowing him to modulate professionals according to the firm’s current needs and caseload. Aligning himself with a stand-out team, productivity levels are at an all-time high. Additionally, the flexibility creates an atmosphere of fierce loyalty and true collaboration. “My focus remains on cultivating a people-centered environment that is inclusive and grounded in trust and appreciation,” says Martin. “Adapting to changes in the market has been an integral part of my success in providing high quality legal services.”
Martin earned a Juris Doctor degree from New York Law School, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and Philosophy from New York University and an International Law Certificate from Magdalen College, University of Oxford. He also studied comparative politics at the University of London and participated in the International Law Institute at the University of Oxford. He credits many of his law professors, practicing lawyers, for demonstrating how to be a lawyer through real world experience versus simply book knowledge. Equally important to Martin lies in sharing his insights and knowledge and fostering a culture of learning and diversity in the classroom. He served as an adjunct professor of law and political science, and was recently invited by New York Law School to critique and judge the moot court competitions.
Martin is also a prolific and acclaimed author of three books. His first book, Only In America, shares the story of his upbringing as the son of Armenian immigrants focusing on immigration and human rights. The 10 Laws of Power, a self-help book of sorts, was written to support and advise graduating law students with high ideals and an optimistic outlook about how to navigate and survive the challenges of the modern workplace. Martin’s latest book, published in 2021, Insights of a Trial Attorney: A Practical Guide For Attorneys, Jurists, & People In Need Of Legal Representation is an honest account of his experience and observations as a professor of law and politics and the life lessons of a trial and litigation attorney. In thinking about his next book, Martin explains, ”I am cautious in moving forward until I find a topic that deeply resonates with me and where I believe I can have a positive effect on others in the profession. To me, the law is a subject where philosophy and law are interwoven. I like to touch on the human side of the profession.”
