About Arsen V
Arsen V Baziyants trained first as a philosopher and later as a lawyer. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from the University of Nevada–Las Vegas, completing that degree in 2004. He went on to law school and received his J.D. in 2008 from the City University of New York - Queens College.
After law school, Baziyants established a small practice in Nevada. He has listed the Law Office of Arsen V Baziyants as his place of practice since 2008. That move put him directly into client work. He handled intake, filings and courtroom appearances, learning the practical contours of litigation and administrative advocacy in a way that only running a solo or small office can provide.
His membership in the American Immigration Lawyers Association, which he joined in 2009, signals one area of sustained professional interest. He has maintained that membership while practicing in Nevada. Through AILA he has had access to continuing education and a network of colleagues who practice immigration law across the country.
Colleagues describe Baziyants as someone who prefers to handle matters personally. He has kept his caseload at a scale that allows hands-on work on briefs, client consultations and hearings. That style suits the kind of practice he runs. It also means he is the primary point of contact for most clients who come to his office.
Baziyants’s background in philosophy surfaces in the way he approaches complex legal questions. He tends to parse statutory text carefully and to press for clarity in administrative procedures. That analytical bent has influenced the types of cases he takes and the arguments he advances in immigration-related matters.
He practices in Nevada and continues to operate the Law Office of Arsen V Baziyants. His current work concentrates on immigration matters, including asylum applications, family-based petitions and relief in removal proceedings.
