The disputes he mediates.
Personal Injury
Auto, premises, catastrophic injury, and wrongful death. Mr. Avrahamy has tried these cases to verdict and negotiated them against every posture an insurer can take — from early lowball offers to eve-of-trial capitulation.
What that means in the room: both sides get a damages read grounded in real verdict history — including a $2 million traumatic-brain-injury recovery and a $1.75 million construction-site injury — not a settlement chart.

Disputes involving public entities and their employees — civil rights, First Amendment retaliation, and employment claims. Mr. Avrahamy’s defining work: verdicts and settlements in cases against the City of Los Angeles, the County of Los Angeles, the State of California, school districts, and public agencies.
What that means in the room: he knows how public entities evaluate exposure, how their approval processes work, and what it takes for both sides to get a resolution signed off.

Rampart global settlement · approved by the L.A. City CouncilFederal jury verdict for three officers v. City of L.A.Employment
Harassment, discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, and failure to accommodate. Argued for employees to multi-million-dollar verdicts — and defended for employers as long-standing corporate counsel.
What that means in the room: he knows both playbooks cold — what a jury will actually award, and how the defense actually prices exposure. Both sides hear the same forecast.

Breach-of-habitability disputes, from individual tenant claims to portfolio-scale litigation. For two decades, Mr. Avrahamy has defended a residential landlord that owns more than 5,000 units across greater Los Angeles.
What that means in the room: few neutrals have actually litigated habitability at portfolio scale. He knows how these cases are built, how they’re defended, and where they settle.

Standard-of-care and causation disputes, assessed with the discipline of a trial lawyer who has carried — and answered — that burden of proof since the first years of his practice.
What that means in the room: a clear-eyed read on causation fights and damages caps, delivered candidly to both sides before positions harden.
