Rod N. Armande, Esq.
Rod Armande has been advocating for immigrant communities since 2015.
For more than a decade, Rod Armande has dedicated his career to fighting for justice—both in the courtroom and in the lives of his clients. Since entering the legal profession in 2015, Rod has helped more than 3,000 people navigate complex immigration and personal injury matters, earning a reputation as a relentless advocate for immigrant communities and injured clients alike.
Rod is the proud son of immigrants, a first-generation U.S. citizen, and the first in his immediate family to graduate from high school, attend university, earn a law degree, and become an attorney. His journey is deeply personal—shaped by his own family’s experience with the broken immigration system, years of painful family separation, and the long wait for loved ones to obtain legal status in the United States. These experiences fuel his unwavering commitment to helping immigrant families stay together and avoid the devastating consequences of separation.
A 2009 graduate of the University of Georgia (B.A. in World History) and a 2016 graduate of Western State College of Law (J.D.), Rod began his legal career focusing on immigration law, where he has helped hundreds of undocumented immigrants secure legal status and successfully fought to prevent the deportation of hundreds more. Over time, he expanded his practice to include personal injury law, bringing the same negotiation, advocacy, and trial skills to fight for injured clients against powerful insurance companies. His personal experience with the injustice of facing insurers without representation drives his mission to ensure others never have to go through it alone.
Rod represents clients in a wide range of personal injury cases, including automobile accidents, rideshare accidents, bus and truck accidents, pedestrian injuries, slip-and-fall incidents, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death claims. In every case, he is driven by a singular purpose: to secure the best possible outcome for those he serves.
His dedication and results have earned him multiple prestigious honors, including:
Selected Member, Super Lawyers, Southern California Rising Stars (2026)
Selected Member, The National Trial Lawyers, Top 40 Under 40 – Civil Plaintiff (2024 & 2025)
Selected Member, The National Trial Lawyers, Top 10 – Immigration Law (2024 & 2025)
Selected Member, Lawyers of Distinction – Immigration & Personal Injury Law (2024 & 2025)
For Rod Armande, law is not just a profession—it’s a calling rooted in his own life story. Whether fighting to keep families together or standing up to insurance companies on behalf of the injured, he brings unmatched passion, strategic skill, and a deep sense of purpose to every case. His clients know that when he takes on a fight, he gives it everything he has—because justice, for him, is personal.
