About
Kian Tamaddoni has been an attorney with Benedon & Serlin LLP since 2020 and focuses his practice on Appellate Practice and Commercial Litigation. Based in Woodland Hills, California, Kian has built his career around civil appeals and complex litigation matters. His professional connection to the firm began during his college years, when he worked as a law clerk during summer breaks, an experience that helped shape his long-term commitment to appellate advocacy.
After graduating from the University of California, Berkeley School of Law, Kian joined a major international law firm, where he worked on multi-district litigation involving marketing and sales practices, as well as product liability claims.
