Joe Naz Fights for Victims with Empathy and Innovation and is Here to Help You Heal

"We are a firm focused on helping people heal, not only in the courtroom or over a negotiating table, but also in their daily lives, both physically and emotionally,” says Joe Nazarian, ‘Joe Naz,’ Founder and Managing Attorney of Joe Naz Accident Lawyers.

His personal injury firm, founded in 2015, employs four attorneys and a full-time staff of seven. They typically work on vehicle accidents involving cars, motorcycles, or trucks, with a specialization in Uber/Lyft Cases, brain injury, and wrongful death matters.

Joe says that bullying early in his life pointed the path to representing others who are suffering from injuries and being taken advantage of by others. “This is something I have been passionate about since childhood, and I have always loved working with others to solve their problems, to stand up for those who need help, and to fight for justice,” he says.

He takes a holistic approach to helping his clients heal, which is enhanced by traumatic personal experiences. Joe has been in five car accidents. Because of that personal experience, he fully understands what it’s like to go through the treatment process and what chronic pain and the emotional stress that accompany dealing with serious injuries are like.

“My car accident was a nightmare, but I am SO happy I met Joe Naz and his team. Their service and good vibes were amazing. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you again for everything, Joe, Spencer, and Siri!”

Most personal injury attorneys have little to no experience with the actual treatments and processes that a victim experiences. They’ve just been attorneys handling these cases as a lawyer and don’t know what it’s like to be an injured victim who has been through the system and had to deal with daily pain and recovery through our messed-up medical system.

Joe and his team’s holistic approach focuses on three areas of recovery: physical injuries, emotional stresses, and healing the whole person for long-term solutions that treat the root issues.

The physical aspects are obvious, but too many attorneys lack focus on the emotional and long-term side of recovery. Many clients face PTSD, stress, and depression from these injuries. Joe’s approach is to assist clients in seeking therapy and making sure they’re getting the treatment they need. His attorneys and staff want to make sure each client receives all of the treatment they need, from chiropractic to imaging to physical therapy and even Eastern modalities, which include treatments like massage, gua sha, cupping or acupuncture. 

“We don’t lean on pain meds, which are simply masking the symptoms and not addressing the root issue. We explore all avenues to find the best and most holistic healing, such as PRP injections, or stem cells, which are much more natural options, instead of immediately turning to surgery or painkillers. We know the importance of letting the body heal itself before going to more extreme options,” Joe says.

Joe maintains direct relationships with many of the best doctors in California to ensure his clients get the best treatment possible. “When clients work with me, they get access to a Rolodex of hundreds of business professionals and doctors due to my relationships in multiple networking groups I have been a part of for a decade. I help my firm’s friends, family, and clients with many problems, which don’t just include law, and I am proud to be a problem solver for whoever comes my way.” Furthermore, he started his own networking group of personal injury attorneys called the Justice Society, where the best doctors in the state educate them every month to stay up to date on the best current medical treatments!



He Said/ She Said, She Won

A friend contacted Joe and connected him with his sister, who was represented by another attorney following a bad accident. The attorney had been working on her case for a couple of months. The case was a he-said/she-said situation. Each driver said the other driver ran the red light and was responsible for the accident. The sister was in the hospital suffering from serious injuries. The attorney she hired couldn’t prove the other person was at fault and gave up on her and fired her because the police report was not in her favor. 

Joe agreed to help them and try to figure out a way to win the case. He drove to the location of the accident and studied the scene. He found a nearby business with a security camera pointed at the streetlights. Going the famous “extra mile,” he made friends with the manager, and after chatting with her for an hour, she permitted him to record what the camera caught on his cell phone. With that evidence in hand, he was able to show a real-time video of the other driver running the red light to the insurance company, which eventually resulted in the sister getting a policy limits settlement. This is just one example of Joe and his team going the extra mile.

“We’ve had a lot of great results and worked on many difficult cases, but three of them are good examples of how we ‘crush’ big cases for our clients,” Nazarian says. One is a $6 million settlement where a work truck crashed into a motorcycle. The client suffered multiple compound fractures in his leg, a torn triceps tendon, scarring all over, and required five surgeries to recover as best as he could. 

The firm also co-counseled an $11 million settlement for four plaintiffs in a wrongful death case in Texas. A mother and her children were hit head-on by a drunk driver, resulting in their deaths. Nazarian represented the brother and father of the deceased person, and by working with Brian Panish of Panish, Shea, Boyle & Ravipudi, they obtained a $5,500,000.00 settlement. 

In another large case, he represented the family of a deceased elderly mother against an HOA in Orange County. The elderly mother fell to the ground and hit her head, which led to her death due to a negligently repaired handrail in her community. The case was settled for $4 million.

Nazarian says, “I love working on a contingency because most people cannot afford $300 an hour or more for an attorney. Working on a contingency resonates with my soul because it is fair to the client, and they don’t have to pay a penny until we win the case. Also, I love that most of our clients never pay a dollar for legal representation or medical treatment up front, and then we get to hand them a big check. It’s a very fulfilling profession because we help our clients heal in many ways and compensate them for their suffering. I love everything about it!”

The firm handles cases that some would consider small, and they have also resolved several seven-figure settlements. The commitment is to serve injured accident victims in any way they can. Joe Naz works with many firms and gives outstanding referral fees to their partners. Most of their business comes through word of mouth and other attorneys because of the firm’s track record of serving their clients and the clients of referring attorneys. “Furthermore, when your clients work with me, they get access to hundreds of business professionals due to my relationships in the multiple networking groups I have been a part of for a decade. I help my firm’s clients with many problems, which don’t just include law, and I am proud to be a problem solver for whoever comes my way,” he says.

Embracing Technology and Change

One of Nazarian’s core values is a commitment to staying on the competitive edge of the advantages to the clients and the firm by embracing the latest technology. Joe Naz Accident Lawyers is an entirely remote organization. He and his employees go to a standard office to meet as a team or with clients, whenever necessary, but otherwise everyone works from a home base. The time-consuming hassles of going to and from an office are eliminated, and that time is devoted exclusively to working on our clients’ cases. Unlike many other firms, this commitment to technology and change began well before COVID forced the issue on the legal community.

They integrate as much AI, technology, and systems as possible into their processes to ensure the client experience is as easy as possible. “We are a great example of the new modern age law firm and what the future looks like” Joe says.

A Well-Rounded Life

Joe describes himself as an empathic, extroverted, passionate, and emotionally intelligent personality who tries to treat people as kindly as possible while giving them his full presence. “I am someone who has always done things my way, even when many people told me I couldn’t or shouldn’t do it. In the end, it has all worked out. I am not a typical attorney because I have a good work/life balance. I work very hard, but also play hard. I am fully focused on my clients’ needs and wants because I am fully remote and can do that anywhere worldwide, as long as I have my laptop.”

Joe follows his own advice in developing the whole person by living a balanced life. He is active in the legal community, the community at large, and with his family. The firm participates in local charities such as the Veterans Legal Institute and offers their time to local charities in the OC area.

Personally, Joe has been active in BNI Business Network International for eight years and was president multiple times in his chapter. He has also been involved with another professional networking group called Provisors for the past eight years. He is also the president and founder of the Justice Society, a personal injury attorney networking group with over 100 members that meets monthly to learn from the best doctors and lawyers in the country. 

Networking with those and other groups is a passion. “Socializing is one of my favorite things. I love making new friends, whether through business or for fun.” He enjoys traveling the world and usually takes several trips throughout the year. He has enjoyed soccer since he was four and still plays on Wednesdays & Sundays in an adult league. He attends music festivals and has a lot of friends in the music industry, which has led to friendships with many talented professionals in that field. He calls himself a “big nerd” who loves Anime and The Lord of the Rings. 

One of his greatest passions is his podcast, where he talks to a wide range of guests who have experienced all walks of life. Each guest is unique, and the podcast covers topics such as personal development, health optimization, law, personal passions, medicine, biohacking, philosophy, and many more. “The podcast has taught me the meaning of true presence and has given me the greatest education I didn’t know I needed,” he says.

his parents, and his younger brother and sister grew up in Mission Viejo in Orange County. “I have lived all over southern California, in OC, Los Angeles, and San Diego, but I am now back in OC, and I love it here. I will always live in southern California because it is the best place in the world.”
