G. Julie Oktanyan

G. Julie Oktanyan is the principal and lead trial attorney at Oktanyan Law, APC in Pasadena, California, where she represents individuals who have suffered serious injuries in workplace accidents throughout Southern California. Her practice emphasizes complex workers’ compensation claims involving orthopedic damage, neurological trauma, psychological stress injuries and other life-altering conditions. With more than two decades of legal experience, she has built a reputation for determined advocacy and results-driven representation for those navigating difficult recoveries.

Ms. Oktanyan began her career after gaining experience in civil defense at prominent firms in Los Angeles and Woodland Hills, where she handled high-exposure cases for insurers involving premises liability, construction incidents, product claims and motor vehicle collisions. This defense background gives her valuable insight into how insurance carriers evaluate and contest claims, knowledge she now uses to strengthen her clients’ positions and pursue favorable outcomes.

In 2011, Ms. Oktanyan co-founded Oktanyan Der-Grigorian Law Group with her sister, helping grow the firm over a decade into a successful practice representing injured workers. During her leadership tenure, the firm achieved substantial recoveries totaling tens of millions of dollars on behalf of clients. She later launched her own firm in 2022 to focus more closely on catastrophic workplace injury cases and to provide individualized representation tailored to each client’s medical and financial circumstances.

Ms. Oktanyan remains actively involved in the California Applicants’ Attorneys Association, an organization dedicated to protecting the rights of injured workers statewide. Her commitment to advocacy is reflected not only in case results but also in the relationships she builds with those she represents. She approaches every matter with persistence, strategic preparation and compassion, guiding clients through the legal process while pursuing the medical care and financial recovery they need to move forward with confidence.
