Born and raised in Northern Virginia, Arash Zarei’s path to the law was driven by a fundamental desire to serve as a voice for those overlooked by the system. He witnessed early on how a single moment of negligence could derail a family’s future, leaving them to navigate a complex legal landscape alone. This sparked a lifelong commitment to advocacy, not just as a career, but as a calling to level the playing field against powerful insurance companies and corporations.
Arash built the foundation of his legal career at George Mason University, earning a Bachelor of Arts with a focus on dispute resolution. While completing his undergraduate studies, he interned for three summers at a world-renowned anti-dumping and countervailing law firm. Working directly under partner Bruce Aitken, he gained critical early experience assisting large corporate clients such as Colgate. He then accelerated his legal education, earning his Juris Doctorate from Cooley Law School at just 25 years old and graduating as the youngest member of his class.
Mr. Zarei’s practice is built on a single, unwavering commitment: personal injury and nothing else. With a case success rate exceeding 95% and tens of millions of dollars recovered on behalf of his clients, his results speak with authority. He built his firm on the belief that serious injury demands serious representation, that when an individual goes up against an insurance company or a corporate defendant, the quality of their advocacy should not be the deciding factor. In the courtroom, Mr. Zarei is relentless. In counsel, he is exacting and thorough. For his clients, he is both.

James M. Ray II is an accomplished trial attorney specializing in catastrophic injury, medical malpractice, and complex civil litigation. With a career defined by high-stakes courtroom experience, Mr. Ray has served as lead counsel in over 50 jury trials across Maryland’s district and state courts, recovering millions for victims of negligence and corporate misconduct.
Mr. Ray earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law. He began honing his skills as a law clerk, building a foundation to litigate even the most technical medical and employment cases. His peers have consistently recognized his talent, naming him a “Rising Star” by Super Lawyers in both Maryland and the District of Columbia.
Beyond the courtroom, James is a fierce advocate for injured workers before the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission. Whether he is representing whistleblowers or victims of catastrophic accidents, his focus remains the same: leveling the playing field against powerful entities to secure the justice and financial recovery they deserve.

We are fully committed to your case because our success is measured by one thing: the financial recovery we secure for you. If we do not win, you owe us nothing.
