Los Angeles County is home to one of the largest and most diverse Arab American populations in the United States. The community spans the entire region, from the historic Lebanese neighborhoods of Downtown LA to the Egyptian cafes of Westwood to the thriving "Little Arabia" in Anaheim.
The Arab presence in Los Angeles dates back to the late 1800s, when Lebanese and Syrian immigrants settled in the downtown area. The community grew throughout the 20th century, with significant influxes of Palestinian refugees after 1948 and 1967, Lebanese escaping civil war in the 1970s-80s, and Iraqi refugees in the 1990s-2000s.
Today's LA Arab community is notably diverse and successful. Arab Americans work in entertainment, technology, medicine, and every other sector of the economy. The community includes both traditional immigrant families and second- and third-generation professionals fully integrated into American life.
Glendale hosts a significant Armenian population alongside Lebanese Christians who share cultural and historical connections. Westwood near UCLA has become a hub for Egyptian and Persian businesses. And Anaheim's "Little Arabia" district offers the most concentrated Arab commercial area in Southern California.

“My son got caught with pills at a party. Felony possession charge. Our lawyer got it reduced to a misdemeanor and my son did a diversion program instead of jail. His record was expunged after completion. He's back in college now.”

“Pulled over on Sunset Boulevard after leaving a birthday party. Blew 0.10. First offense in thirty years in this country. My lawyer challenged the field sobriety procedures and got it pled down to wet reckless. No jail, kept my nursing license, and it can be expunged after three years.”

“Got into a fight at a hookah lounge. Other guy started it but I got charged. Security camera proved I was defending myself. My lawyer got the footage entered as evidence and the case was dismissed before trial. Could have lost my green card over this.”
