Today we’d like to introduce you to Eliza Glants.
Hi Eliza, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I was born and raised in Armenia in a family deeply rooted in education and sports. My mother, an educator, instilled in me an immense love for reading and learning, while my father, an army veteran, and a well-known athlete, equipped me with discipline and perseverance.
From a young age, my life was enriched by the dual practices of professional martial arts and traditional Armenian dance. Guided by my father, my karate coach, I honed my skills in martial arts, taking in its principles of focus and self-discipline. Simultaneously, my beloved grandfather, my dance instructor, introduced me to the world of dance, cultivating a passion for movement, grace, and emotions. This unique blend of physical disciplines not only enriched my childhood but also instilled in me an appreciation for dedication, hard work and commitment required in both karate and dance.
My arrival in the United States marked a significant transition from my upbringing in Armenia. Being an 18-year-old immigrant in a foreign land can be a daunting experience. I faced a multitude of challenges, from the initial shock of adapting to an unfamiliar culture to the struggle of mastering a new language, building new friendships, and working towards a new future.
My pursuit of education led me to the University of California Berkeley, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. Consequently, I started and successfully graduated from Southwestern Law School, laying the groundwork for a thriving legal career.
During my studies at Southwestern Law School, I volunteered at the Immigration Law Clinic, helping the youth and abused women to achieve with their U-Visa and DACA filings. Additionally, I worked as a law clerk at one of the world’s largest Immigration Law Firms: Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen and Loewy, where I worked on various Business Immigration matters. While at Southwestern Law School, I also externed at the Los Angeles DA’s Office Hardcore Gang Unit.
Post-graduation, I worked at several other prestigious law firms all while holding the role of General Counsel within J’Adore Les Fleurs, the esteemed floral boutique chain that I co-founded with my family in 2015.
In 2023, I established the Law Offices of Eliza Glants practicing Personal Injury and have been helping immigrants and injured people since then.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The road has definitely not been smooth—but I wouldn’t trade the bumps for anything. Immigrating to the U.S. from Armenia at 18 was a life-altering transition. I had a lot of failures, minor and major – I fell a lot of times, but I always stood up again.
As an immigrant, I was often looked at with quiet doubt—whether it was in classrooms, internships, or professional spaces. There’s an unspoken assumption sometimes that people like me don’t rise too far or too fast. I can’t lie and say that it never made me doubt myself, or that it never discourage me.
Law school was another test of endurance. Like many first-generation professionals, I didn’t have a roadmap. Balancing school, internships, and community service while still adjusting to a new legal and social system came with its own set of pressures.
Every setback taught me something valuable—how to ask and accept help, how to persist, how to pivot, stand up after falling down, and most importantly, how to lead with purpose and integrity.
As you know, we’re big fans of Law Offices of Eliza Glants . For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
At the Law Offices of Eliza Glants, APC, we focus on immigration and personal injury law—but at the heart of what we do is advocacy rooted in compassion and integrity. My mission is to protect and empower individuals navigating some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives—whether they’re fighting for a better future in the U.S. or recovering from a life-altering injury.
As an immigrant myself, I understand firsthand how overwhelming and intimidating the legal process can feel. That perspective allows me to meet my clients with not just legal expertise, but empathy. We don’t treat cases like files—we treat them like stories that deserve to be heard, honored, and fought for.
What sets us apart is our commitment to personal connection. I make it an important aspect of my firm to be actively involved in every case, to work on the case myself, to maintain open communication and tailor our strategy to the unique circumstances of each client. Whether it’s helping families stay together, guiding someone through asylum, or securing just compensation after an accident, we lead with diligence, heart, and results.
Do you any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
My favorite childhood memory was going on road trips with my family. My father would always take us to road trips and we would always stop the car in the middle of nowhere, to pick flowers and spend some time in nature. Armenia has a beautiful nature and miles and miles of flower fields. The most memorable photo of my childhood is a photo on my parents’ wall, that I took of my mom, dad, my brother and sister in the middle of a red poppies field.
