Meet Our Legal Team

Deeply committed to entertainment and the protection of creativity, Houtan focused his legal studies on issues related to intellectual property and entertainment law. He has served as a staff law clerk at Thomas Jefferson’s Arts and Entertainment Law Project at the Small Business Law Center, where he has acted as a legal advisor on intellectual property and business-related issues to low-income artists, actors, dancers, writers, musicians, filmmakers, and related non-profit organizations.

After becoming licensed, Houtan began practicing law in the fields of immigration and entertainment and later founded the Yaghmai Law Firm, APC in August 2015. The firm’s practice began with extraordinary ability immigrant visas for sports, professional athletes, entertainers, actors, actresses, musicians, artists, producers, directors, and other individuals with extraordinary ability who are at the very top of their field. 

Inspired by his developmentally disabled sister Hasti, Houtan has always been a fierce advocate for the rights of those without a voice who are vulnerable to abuse by government entities, insurance companies, and corporate interests.  With extensive litigation experience against large corporations, first-hand trial experience against the State of California, and a large network of fierce trial attorneys at his disposal, Houtan decided to expand the firm through the addition of the personal injury practice to represent injured victims in order to obtain full justice for their pain and suffering and monetary losses.
