Our Story
In 2009, Reed Aljian and Justin Daily founded their firm with an explicit rejection of the big-firm model they had both worked in. Reed had spent years in the trial departments of international law firms in Los Angeles and Orange County. Justin had gone from a boutique litigation firm in San Diego to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office before opening his own practice in Newport Beach. They had both seen how large firms operated, and they wanted to build something different.
The idea was straightforward: take fewer cases, do better work, charge fair rates. No compromises on quality, no padding caseloads to drive revenue. Clients would get senior attorney attention on their matters, not hand-offs to junior associates. That standard was the foundation of Daily Aljian in 2009, and it remains the standard today.
How We Work
At Daily Aljian, clients are partners, not case numbers. From the first consultation through resolution, the firm’s attorneys make themselves accessible, keep clients informed, and welcome input as matters develop. When your situation changes, the strategy adapts with it.
The firm’s approach is direct and aggressive when it needs to be. As trial lawyers, Daily Aljian attorneys believe that genuine readiness to go to court, and a reputation for doing so, often produces the best outcomes, whether inside the courtroom or before you ever get there. At the same time, the firm is clear-eyed about cost. The goal is always an effective resolution, not unnecessary litigation.
What clients consistently find is a firm that is honest about their options, transparent about the process, and focused entirely on results that serve the client’s interests, not the firm’s billable hours.
Serving All of California
Daily Aljian is based in Orange County and represents clients across the state, including in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Bernardino, Riverside, Sacramento, and Northern California, as well as across the country in state and federal court.
California’s legal landscape varies significantly by county and court, and after more than 15 years of practice, the firm knows it well.
