Mark is compassionate and sensitive to the needs of clientd and ensures they receive the communication and support they require in their times of need, being a navigator and guide for clients in their uncharted and unfamiliar situations in dealing with their loss.

Seymone Javaherian

Known affectionately as “Sy” to friends and colleagues, Seymone “Sy” Javaherian is the son of Iranian immigrants who fled the Iranian Revolution in pursuit of freedom and opportunity in the United States. As the eldest of three siblings, Sy naturally stepped into the role of advocate early in life, always analyzing situations, determining what was right, and fighting for it.

That instinct to lead and protect followed him through his education. While earning his undergraduate degree at the University of Southern California (USC), Sy was elected Student Senator, deepening his commitment to justice and civic engagement. Inspired by both his personal history and academic experience, he chose to pursue law as a way to advocate for those who need it most.

Sy earned his J.D. and was admitted to the California Bar in 2004. On the very day he was sworn in by the Honorable Richard Stone, he opened his first law office. He went on to co-found Javaherian & Ruszecki, initially based in Beverly Hills and now operating out of Culver City. Known for his tenacity, strategic thinking, and unwavering client dedication, Sy brings an aggressive yet principled approach to every case he takes on.

Outside the courtroom, Sy is a passionate collector of classic '80s cars and a competitive chess player. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and children.

Cody Crosier

Cody grew up with a deep respect for fairness and accountability — values that shaped her path into law and continue to define her practice today. For nearly a decade, she has built her career litigating complex civil cases throughout Arizona, handling matters involving catastrophic injury, wrongful death, and medical and professional negligence, including claims against healthcare providers and other professionals whose failures in judgment or care caused harm.
Earlier in her career, Cody defended corporations, insurance companies, and public entities in high-stakes litigation. While defending these complex cases, Cody saw firsthand the injustice individuals injured by these entities often face. Understanding that Plaintiffs are navigating great loss within a system often stacked against them, Cody was inspired to begin representing Plaintiffs. Cody is a strong advocate for Plaintiffs and utilizes her inside knowledge of defense strategy to advocate for real people rather than corporate interests.
Cody approaches every case with compassion, strategy, and persistence. She believes that strong advocacy comes from both preparation and heart. Known as a determined and strategic advocate, Cody digs into every record, anticipates every argument, and stands firm as the voice of her clients. Her blend of toughness and empathy has earned the trust of clients and colleagues alike, as she handles each case with the same commitment and care she would provide for her own family.
Cody earned her Juris Doctor from Arizona State University, Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law, and is admitted to practice in all Arizona State and Federal courts. Outside the office, she enjoys traveling and spending time outdoors with her family.
