LOS ANGELES, Oct. 18, 2026 — Arias Sanguinetti announced that the 2026 Consumer Attorney Visionaries feature, published in the Los Angeles Times, recognizes Mike Arias, the firm’s managing partner. Business by LA Times Studios presents the feature, which highlights Southern California plaintiff attorneys and their professional accomplishments.
Mr. Arias has over four decades of experience in litigation. He represents plaintiffs in cases involving class actions, large-scale litigation, employment disputes, catastrophic injuries and sexual abuse. He has represented individuals bringing claims against large corporations, public entities and universities for harm caused by misconduct or negligence.
“People come to us when their lives have been upended, and they need someone willing to take on a difficult fight,” said Mr. Arias. “This recognition is very meaningful to me. I’m grateful for the confidence our clients have in us, and for the work our team does every day on their behalf.”
Most recently, Mr. Arias helped achieve an $828 million settlement for 414 survivors of sexual abuse in Los Angeles County’s juvenile detention and foster care systems. As co-liaison counsel in the legal action concerning the University of Southern California and former gynecologist Dr. George Tyndall, he also notably helped secure an $852 million settlement for more than 700 women.
