Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani has named Elizabeth Thomasian Managing Partner of the firm’s Fresno office.
Thomasian handles a wide range of personal injury and property damage cases, including premises liability, construction defect, habitability, and fire loss cases. Located in the Central Valley, a large portion of her practice also consists of agriculturally-based litigation, including crop loss, tractor and equipment-related accidents, big rig accidents, and animal loss cases, such as people being harmed by horses or cattle.
“We could not be more excited to officially welcome Elizabeth to the role of Managing Partner of GRSM’s Fresno office,” said Northern California Managing Partner, Adam Sugarman. “She is a natural-born leader, dating back to her days as a Division I student-athlete at Fresno State, through today, where she has the utmost respect of our team and the Fresno legal community at large.”
After earning her law degree from San Joaquin College of Law near Fresno, Thomasian worked as a certified law clerk, gaining hands-on experience defending misdemeanor and felony cases. She further developed her legal skills at a boutique civil litigation firm in Fresno, where she managed personal injury and property damage cases. Her broad background in litigation and defense allows her to effectively represent clients in complex legal disputes.
“I am honored to step into the role of Managing Partner of our Fresno office and look forward to building on the strong foundation we’ve established,” said Thomasian. “I am excited to work with our talented team to provide exceptional legal services for clients across the Central Valley and beyond.”
