Eran Lagstein: Los Angeles Personal Injury Attorney Fighting for Clients Across California and Nevada

Eran Lagstein is a Los Angeles-based personal injury attorney and founder of Lagstein Law Firm, P.C., a Century City practice serving injured individuals and businesses across California and Nevada. A graduate of UCLA School of Law, Eran Lagstein has earned consecutive Super Lawyers recognition from 2019 through 2027 — placing him among the top five percent of attorneys in California — while building a plaintiff's trial practice that spans personal injury, employment litigation, and business disputes. His firm operates from the 24th floor of 1801 Century Park East, one of Los Angeles's most prestigious legal addresses, with a second office in Las Vegas, Nevada.

What Does a Los Angeles Personal Injury Attorney Do?

A personal injury attorney represents individuals harmed through the negligence or wrongful conduct of another party. In Los Angeles — where car accidents, rideshare collisions, slip-and-fall incidents, and workplace injuries generate some of the highest-stakes civil litigation in the country — the quality of legal representation can determine whether a claim is denied or resolved for a life-changing sum.

Eran Lagstein and Lagstein Law Firm, P.C. handle the full spectrum of these cases: automobile and motorcycle collisions, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, Uber and Lyft crashes, premises liability, dog bites, wrongful death, brain and spinal cord injuries, and medical malpractice. The firm also represents clients in employment disputes, business litigation, civil rights matters, and class actions — one of the broader plaintiff's platforms in the California market.

What distinguishes Lagstein's approach is a foundation as scientific as it is legal. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Psychobiology from UCLA in 1996, graduating magna cum laude with Phi Beta Kappa honors, before earning his J.D. from UCLA School of Law in 1999. That grounding in human biology informs the clinical precision with which he evaluates injury claims and argues medical causation before judges and juries alike.

Eran Lagstein's Academic Credentials and Early Legal Career

Before he ever walked into a courtroom as a lead attorney, Eran Lagstein was winning arguments at the highest levels of appellate advocacy. During his time at UCLA School of Law, he earned first place at the California Moot Court State Championship — including the distinction of First Place Oral Advocate — along with second place for the Bernard E. Witkin Award for Excellence in Appellate Advocacy and third place for Best Brief. He was also named a Distinguished Advocate in 1998 and served on the UCLA Moot Court State Team. These are not ceremonial honors; they signal the kind of legal reasoning and persuasion skills that translate directly to courtroom performance.

His early career brought him into contact with institutions that shaped his litigation sensibility: a law clerk position at the Federal Trade Commission, work at the appellate boutique Greines Martin Stein and Richland, and experience at a plaintiff's personal injury practice. By 2005, when he founded Lagstein Law Firm, P.C., he held active bar membership in both California and Nevada — clean records in both states that remain unblemished to this day, a baseline that matters in a practice built entirely on client trust.

A Published Appellate Win That Shaped California Employer Liability Law

Among the markers that distinguish a capable litigator from a truly consequential one, few carry more weight than a certified-for-publication appellate decision. Eran Lagstein is an attorney of record in Purton v. Marriott International, Inc., 218 Cal.App.4th 499 — a 2013 California Court of Appeal ruling that reversed a defense summary judgment on questions of employer liability and respondeat superior arising from a company-sponsored event. The decision is published, meaning California's judiciary deemed it sufficiently important to serve as binding precedent statewide. For clients evaluating whether their Los Angeles personal injury attorney has gone beyond settling cases to actually shaping California law, this decision answers that question directly.

The firm's documented case results, reported through Avvo's verified section, include settlements of one million dollars, six hundred fifty thousand dollars, and four hundred eighty-five thousand dollars, along with a four-hundred-three-thousand-dollar result in J.H. v. MTA. Prior results do not guarantee future outcomes. What they illustrate is a practice that has consistently delivered six- and seven-figure recoveries for injured clients across California and Nevada.

Recognition and Standing Among California's Top Personal Injury Attorneys

Super Lawyers is a peer-nomination and independent research process that designates no more than five percent of attorneys in a given state annually — a threshold designed to keep the recognition meaningful. Eran Lagstein has earned that designation every year from 2019 through 2027, a nine-year streak that places him in a select tier of Los Angeles personal injury lawyers recognized by their peers and by the editorial team at Super Lawyers for sustained excellence across personal injury, employment litigation, business litigation, class action, and entertainment matters.

On Avvo, Lagstein holds a 10.0 "Superb" rating — the platform's highest designation — alongside a 5.0 out of 5.0 client rating across 48 verified reviews. The Avvo Client's Choice Award followed in 2020, 2021, and 2022, an honor driven entirely by client feedback. In 2026, he was recognized by Best of L.A. Legal, an annual designation honoring standout legal practitioners in the Los Angeles market. Nine peer endorsements from fellow attorneys, including a prominent Texas plaintiff's trial lawyer, further affirm his standing within the national plaintiffs' bar. The recurring themes across those reviews and endorsements are results, responsiveness, and the sense that clients were treated as individuals rather than files.

Lagstein is a member of the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles, the Consumer Attorneys of California, the American Association for Justice, the Nevada Justice Association, the Los Angeles County Bar Association, the Beverly Hills Bar Association, and the Century City Bar Association. He speaks English and Hebrew fluently, and is conversant in Spanish — a meaningful asset in a Los Angeles practice where clients arrive from every corner of the world.

Why Clients in Los Angeles and Nevada Choose Lagstein Law Firm, P.C.

Choosing a personal injury attorney in Los Angeles is rarely a casual decision. It comes after something has gone wrong — a collision, a fall, a workplace injury that no one is owning. What clients need in that moment is someone who understands medicine well enough to argue causation, knows the law well enough to have shaped it, and will fight when the other side offers nothing.

Eran Lagstein brings all three to a practice rooted in Century City and extending across California and Nevada. His UCLA training, his moot court record, his published appellate win, and nearly two decades of plaintiff trial work form the portrait of an attorney who chose this side of the courtroom deliberately — and has spent his career proving that choice right. For those facing the aftermath of serious injury, Lagstein Law Firm, P.C. offers the focused, credentialed advocacy that complex cases demand.
