Los Angeles, CA — June 16, 2025 — Farahi Law Firm, APC, also known through its outreach platform Justin for Justice, is issuing a firm public statement:
“Undocumented immigrants have rights—and we protect them.” - Justin Farahi, Founder and Principal Attorney of Farahi Law Firm
As national headlines stir fear over ICE raids in Los Angeles in 2025, ongoing immigration reform efforts, and uncertainty surrounding DACA updates in California, Farahi Law Firm is reinforcing a powerful truth:
In California, your right to seek justice after a personal injury is protected—no matter your immigration status.
“As a personal injury lawyer serving the underserved communities, I want every personal injury victim to know this—your legal status cannot and should not block your right to compensation...We’ve always been at the forefront of protecting our clients’ privacy and status.”
Justin Farahi, Founder and Principal Attorney of Farahi Law Firm
Farahi Law Firm encourages personal injury victims in California from all backgrounds to seek the help they deserve without fear. Whether it’s a car accident, slip-and-fall, or workplace injury, the firm continues to provide compassionate, aggressive representation grounded in justice, not judgment.
Attorney-Client Privilege Protects Immigration Status in California
According to California Evidence Code Section 954, immigration status is fully protected under attorney-client privilege. This means any undocumented or asylum-seeking individual can speak to their lawyer without fear of deportation, ICE reporting, or discrimination during a lawsuit.In a personal injury claim or lawsuit, immigration status is not admissible and cannot be used against you. Insurance companies and defense attorneys are not permitted to ask whether you are documented or undocumented—it simply does not factor into your right to pursue compensation.
Understanding the Difference: Local vs. Federal Enforcement
Farahi Law Firm emphasizes a key legal distinction: California law enforcement agencies, such as the LAPD, follow state regulations and do not enforce federal immigration law. This means that routine matters—like a car accident—do not involve immigration checks.
However, federal agents operate under different rules, and interactions with them may carry immigration consequences. That’s why undocumented individuals need to know that their immigration status is not relevant to a personal injury claim, and they are protected by attorney-client privilege under California Evidence Code Section 954.
Legal representation in personal injury cases focuses solely on the harm done and the compensation you deserve, not your legal status in the country.
That’s why Farahi Law Firm works aggressively to separate personal injury claims from immigration concerns—keeping the focus on the harm done, not your background.
