Mason Rashtian is an accomplished trial attorney and the founder of The Mason Law Firm. After graduating from law school and passing the California Bar Exam in 1997, Mason began his career working for prestigious law firms across Los Angeles and Orange Counties, where he represented insurance companies and defendants as a litigation attorney.
This experience on the defense side gave him invaluable insight into how insurance companies approach and defend claims — knowledge he now uses to his clients’ advantage. In 2006, Mason opened his own practice dedicated exclusively to representing injured individuals and their families.
With decades of litigation experience, Mason brings a unique and strategic perspective to every case. He personally handles all aspects of personal injury matters, including catastrophic injuries, car accidents, truck accidents, bus accidents, motorcycle and bicycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, construction site injuries, slip and fall cases, dog bites, burn injuries, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, wrongful death claims, and train accidents.
Mason’s commitment to his clients is clear: he fights tirelessly to secure the compensation they deserve, guided by the belief that every injured person deserves experienced, compassionate, and aggressive representation.

- What the law says about dog attacks
- The Signal Newspaper
- Q. Can I demand compensation for injuries from a neighbor's dog attack in California?
- A: I am sorry to hear about your injuries. California is a strict liability state when it comes to animal attacks. This means that your neighbor is presumed to be at fault and responsible for any injuries caused by their dog.

- Q. Stabbed at shelter due to staff negligence; reported prior threats.
- A: The shelter has certain responsibilities and duties toward its guests, patrons, and visitors. Here, that would require keeping them safe from harm. Unfortunately, this incident involved a criminal act by a third party, not a member of the shelter facility. Therefore, it is necessary for the shelter to be aware of any prior criminal activity on its premises or to be notified that one of its guests, patrons, or visitors may pose a danger to others.
The best argument here is that the shelter was aware that someone on its premises was carrying a weapon, and threatening others with that weapon. If the shelter failed to take action, such as removing the individual and contacting law enforcement, ... Read More
