Mikayel Badalyan
Mikayel Badalyan (aka “Mike”) is the co-founder and managing partner of Badalyan Sinanyan, APC and The Lemonade Lawyer. Mike has loved two things ever since he can remember: fighting for what is right and everything cars. From a very young age, Mike knew that he wanted to either be a lawyer or a race car driver; and since race car driver wasn’t in the cards, lawyer would have to do. After graduating at the top of his class from Glendale High School, located in Glendale, CA, with a 4.17 GPA, Mike was accepted to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) on a full scholarship. At UCSD, he majored in Political Science/Public Law and minored in Ethnic Studies. In 2012, he graduated with high honors from UCSD and was accepted into Southwestern Law School, in the heart of Los Angeles, CA, that same year.
During his time in law school, Mike was admitted onto the Dean’s honor roll multiple times and earned a spot on the coveted Trial Advocacy Honors Program (or “TAHP”). In his second year on the TAHP trial team, he gained a position on the team’s Board of Directors. As a member of the TAHP trial team, he had the opportunity to prepare for and compete in various mock trial competitions against some of the greatest law schools in the country where he flourished and displayed his unique skills and natural trial talent. During these competitions, Mike also discovered that he enjoyed the thrill of advocating in a courtroom for his clients and getting them the justice that they have been denied.
In 2015, Mike graduated from law school with high honors. And in 2017, Mike decided it was time to combine his passion for law and his love for cars by founding Badalyan Sinanyan, APC, with his wife Aileen Sinanyan, and giving birth to The Lemonade Lawyer. In his spare time, Mike loves racing cars and hosting track events at race tracks all across California from Willow Springs Raceway down to Chuckwalla Valley Raceway and up to Buttonwillow and Laguna Seca Raceways. Since founding his own law firm, Mike has recovered tens of millions of dollars for his clients and is looking forward to recovering another hundred million more.
