Vaché Thomassian is a founding partner of KJT Law Group, LLP, responsible for the firm’s overall direction and operations. He represents individuals and families in personal injury and employment matters, including car and truck accidents, premises liability, wrongful death, and wage and hour violations. He focuses on cases where people are forced to take on institutions with far greater resources and is driven by the challenge of facing and fighting what can seem like uphill battles.
Across his practice, Vaché approaches cases with a simple premise: what looks straightforward rarely is. In serious accident matters, early assumptions often leave critical facts and responsible parties unexamined. In one case, what appeared to be a standard vehicle collision led to the identification of a separate third party whose role significantly changed the outcome. Central to his approach is questioning the obvious, investigating thoroughly and pursuing every available path to recovery.
From the first conversation, Vaché is direct while listening carefully to understand both what happened and what the client needs. He moves quickly to preserve evidence, document injuries, and identify all potential defendants while keeping clients informed at every meaningful stage. He does not believe in sugarcoating a case. Clients are given a clear understanding of where things stand, why decisions are being made, and what they can expect moving forward.
Clients value that combination of honesty and genuine care. Many come to him during some of the most difficult moments of their lives, such as after a serious injury, a loss, or a workplace that treated them as disposable. Vaché sees his role as making sure nothing else goes wrong on his watch, and that however complex, the legal process remains grounded in clarity and purpose.
His path to the law was shaped by a longstanding commitment to social justice. He views personal injury and employment law as tools to correct imbalance, whether that means holding companies accountable for unsafe conditions or ensuring workers receive what they are rightfully owed.
Vaché earned his Juris Doctor from Loyola Law School, Los Angeles, and holds a master’s degree from Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs and a bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Berkeley. He is licensed in California and in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.
