Serge Hovhanessian
Four years at the bar — the newest listing on this page — and the fullest register entry in the batch. Four sections, four practice areas and four languages are all on his Florida Bar record. His guide carries a named author and a revision date, which only one other page here does.
The bar record
We read Serge Hovhanessian in the Florida Bar’s member directory. Rows below the line are the ones the member fills in, not the Bar.
Florida publishes ten years, and only ten years. The line above reads 10-Year Discipline History: None. That is a statement about the last decade, not about a career. The Florida Bar is authoritative on what it covers — it publishes bar number, standing, eligibility, admission date and discipline, and it stands behind all of it — but it says nothing whatever about the years before the window opens.
On this page that matters enormously. Timothy David has been admitted forty-one years, so the register reaches under a quarter of his career. Four of the twelve lawyers here have been admitted long enough that most of their record sits outside it. Four others were admitted recently enough that the window covers everything.
And the lower half of the record is the lawyer’s own. Sections, practice areas, languages and firm size are filled in by the member, not verified by the Bar. Six of our twelve Orlando listings left practice areas blank entirely. Where it is filled in it is the only place a register on this site will say what a lawyer holds himself out to do — which is why one entry here reading “Criminal, Criminal Appellate” is worth stopping on.
What the record shows
His register entry is the most complete of the twelve: four sections, four practice areas including Personal Injury, a firm size, a federal court, a state court, and four languages — Arabic, Armenian, English and Spanish. Six of the twelve left practice areas blank; only three filled in languages at all.Verified
That matters more than it sounds. Florida’s practice-areas field is self-reported, but it is the only place a register on this site will tell you a lawyer holds himself out for injury work. His says Personal Injury; Kendell Ali’s says Criminal.Verified
Admitted 22 September 2021 — four years, the shortest record on this page. The ten-year window covers all of it. That is not a mark against him and the register says nothing about it either way.Verified
His guide names its author and carries an Updated March 2026 line. Only Wooten Kimbrough’s page in this batch does the same.Verified
What the firm says
He says he is of Armenian and Lebanese descent, is fluent in Arabic and conversational in Armenian, and was a longtime entrepreneur before law.Reported
He says he took his J.D. at Florida A&M University College of Law in 2021 — the register confirms the school and year — and is admitted to the Middle District of Florida.Reported
He says the firm keeps Lake Nona and Avalon Park offices by appointment in addition to the downtown Orlando office. The register carries only the downtown address.Reported
A second lawyer at the firm, Richard Arena, was described to us but no bar record was supplied for him, so he is not listed here.Reported
