OUR HELP
Whatever your immediate or long term goals and needs may be, we are here to help. At Ardalan Trial College, we offer personalized legal training exclusively to plaintiff personal injury attorneys and their staff who wish to excel in their field. Work on your skills as you work up your cases. We not only work with you, but also your clients to help you be better prepared to handle all aspects of pre-litigation, litigation and trial. No more large group seminars, preset topics, generic lectures where you are left to process and apply the vast information on your own. Through your own customized one on one or small group trainings you can choose what areas or skills you want to work on. You can also learn skills as we act as your personal trial consultant on specific cases where we deal with your client, their families, and you to prepare you all for whatever stage of litigation or trial you are dealing with. Since the work is specific for individual cases similar to hiring a jury consultant, the costs paid for the blocks purchased can be recouped as a cost advanced for trial consulting services on the specific cases that benefited from the program. Through the expertise and experience of our top notch personal trainers, we will help you overcome obstacles in yourself and your cases to obtain the results you and your clients deserve. Your results are our successes.
My name is Chris Ardalan and I have been a trial lawyer in Southern California since 2000. I am the owner of Ardalan & Associates, PLC, a highly respected and recognized Plaintiff’s personal injury trial law firm that serves Southern California. After graduating Cum Laude and Order of the Coif from Loyola Law School where I was part of a nationally recognized top 10 trial advocacy program and competed and won numerous regional and national trial advocacy championships, I went directly into private practice. Having worked in personal injury law firms since I was 16 years old I was extremely knowledgeable about the process and procedures of running a practice and was well equipped to run my own practice right out of school. Over the span of my career, I have consistently represented injured parties in personal injury matters obtaining record setting verdicts and settlements and was nominated by CAALA for Trial Lawyer of the Year in 2010. I am also a graduate of the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College, a CAALA Board Member, an advocate level member of ABOTA, designated SuperLawyer, named Top 100 Trial Lawyer by The National Trial Lawyers, and an inductee into the Million and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forums. I have personally first chaired countless jury trials in my practice and have obtained over 70 seven-figure settlements or verdicts.
Over the span of my career I have learned that litigating and trying cases is more of an art than just a science. Having participated in various trial colleges and training programs, attended countless seminars, read countless books, watched colleagues in trials and reviewed their transcripts, I realized that no single book, training, or seminar truly prepares lawyers to be able to attain all the knowledge, skills and creativity they need to succeed in a world of litigation that is constantly evolving. As such, lawyers today, just like boxers and others athletes have to train in their art to learn the proper techniques and grow the mental muscle memory they need to succeed. In an effort to further our profession for the benefit of my fellow colleagues and their clients, I have carved out a limited number of days each year to offer customized personal training on virtually every aspect of the practice of personal injury from the inception of a case through trial. Together we can evaluate what you may need to work on, which cases can benefit from the program, and how we can best serve you.
I offer a 3-day customized training experience at the Ardalan Ranch, an exclusive 5 acre ranch in Murrieta fully equipped with a customized courtroom, technology, and luxury dorm room facilities that can sleep up to 10 students. Lodging and meals will be provided at the Ranch. I also offer full single day trainings in your office, at the Ardalan Ranch, or my Camarillo Tuscan Estate or at any other agreed location.

“What was unique about this experience was that we got to practice critical parts of our case in the courtroom, including our opening statement, voir dire, and cross-examination. The lessons we learned paid off, as we were extremely well prepared for trial. I would highly recommend consulting with Chris on your next trial!”
