Kousha Berokim

Kousha Berokim A good lawyer is not one who knows the answer; a good lawyer is one who knows how to find the answer. Kousha Berokim has litigated over 200 civil cases, mostly in usury, finance, real estate, employment, or commercial disputes. Throughout it all, Berokim has come to appreciate that every case presents a different and new set of facts, laws, and ultimately litigation strategy.

Litigation is a skill-set compromised of the ability to examine every small factual and legal detail while keeping the focus on the ‘big picture’ perspective.

Alongside Jasmine Duel, Berokim understands that experience is not a substitute for preparation; rather, our combined litigation experience helps better prepare.

Kousha Berokim received a bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and received his Juris Doctorate degree from the Southwestern University of Law in Los Angeles. Prior to forming Berokim & Duel, P.C., Berokim worked for and with capable and seasoned trial attorneys, William G. Moore, Gregory Byberg, and Thomas Hanrahan.
