Fred Yadegar, Attorney at Law

Fred Yadegar has been a California attorney since 2006. He earned his law degree at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles after completing his undergraduate degree at UCLA, and he has spent the years since in the trenches of everyday legal trouble: car crashes and the insurance fights that follow them, foreclosures and the money and evictions they leave behind, families sorting out a parent’s estate, and business deals that fell apart.

He practices under his given name, Farid Yadegar, on his State Bar license, and as Fred with the people he works for. Either name gets you to the same record: number 244184, active, no discipline on file.

How Fred works

The model is simple and increasingly rare. You call, Fred picks up or calls you back the same business day, and the attorney you speak to is the attorney who does the work. He reads the police report. He writes the demand letter. He calls the foreclosure trustee. He stands up in the courtroom in Santa Ana or downtown Los Angeles.

That has two effects clients notice right away. First, nothing gets lost between a case manager and a lawyer, because there is no gap. Second, you get honest answers early. If you do not have a case, Fred says so and explains why, usually on the first call. If you do, he tells you what it is worth pursuing and what it will cost, and on injury and surplus-funds matters that cost is nothing upfront. If you don’t get paid, we don’t get paid.

What other attorneys say

Fred’s peers on Avvo have put their names to their opinions. A business attorney who has known him since law school and worked with him on business, landlord-tenant, and traffic matters wrote that he “fights hard for his clients” and that he “won’t disappear after you pay him.” A fellow trial lawyer described him as “a trial lawyer who is not afraid to go all the way.” You can read both endorsements in full, along with client reviews from Yelp and Avvo, on the reviews page.

Practice areas

Fred’s work falls into five areas, and many clients need more than one of them at the same time.

• Injury Law: car, rideshare, and pedestrian accidents, slip and falls, serious injuries, and insurance company disputes. Contingency fee.
• Surplus Funds Recovery: recovering the money left over after a trustee’s sale for former owners and heirs. No upfront fee.
• Eviction Defense: unlawful detainer defense for tenants and for former owners after foreclosure.
• Wills & Trusts: estate plans, document reviews, and enforcing trusts and wills.
• Breach of Contract: pursuing and defending contract claims for individuals and small businesses.

Where Fred practices

Fred serves clients throughout Los Angeles County and Orange County. That means the Stanley Mosk Courthouse downtown and the regional courthouses in Van Nuys, Pasadena, Long Beach, Torrance, and Norwalk. In Orange County it means the Central Justice Center in Santa Ana, the Lamoreaux Justice Center in Orange, and the Harbor, North, and West Justice Centers. Most first conversations happen by phone or video. When an injury makes travel hard, Fred comes to you.
