The Law Offices of Jason Goldman is a boutique New York City firm devoted exclusively to federal and state criminal defense. Founded by Jason Goldman, a former Brooklyn prosecutor who has tried more than 25 cases to verdict, the firm represents individuals facing prosecution at every stage, from pre-indictment investigation through trial, sentencing, and appeal.

The firm's practice spans federal criminal defense in the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, including grand jury subpoenas, target letters, proffer sessions, wire fraud, drug conspiracy, RICO, and federal sentencing mitigation, as well as state felony defense covering homicide, sex offenses, domestic violence, and assault.

What distinguishes the firm is its combination of trial-tested advocacy and strategic narrative control. Goldman's background as a prosecutor informs an approach built on meticulous preparation, a trusted network of private investigators and forensic experts, and relationships with journalists and public relations executives that let the firm manage public perception while keeping clients out of the spotlight during sensitive investigations. Results include below-guidelines federal sentences, grand jury dismissals, and coverage by outlets such as CNN, the New York Post, and Business Insider.

Orlando Accident Attorneys is a boutique personal injury law firm based in Orlando, Florida, dedicated exclusively to representing accident and wrongful death victims. Rather than operating as a high-volume firm that treats cases like numbers, the firm limits its focus to personal injury law and gives each client direct access to an attorney rather than a case manager.

The firm's practice covers car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, bicycle, pedestrian, scooter, and rideshare accidents involving Uber and Lyft, construction accidents, premises liability cases such as slip and fall and trip and fall claims, catastrophic injuries including traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, burns, and amputation, and wrongful death claims arising from negligence. Clients are served throughout Orlando and the surrounding counties of Orange, Seminole, and Osceola, including Winter Park, Lake Nona, Baldwin Park, College Park, Audubon Park, Winter Garden, Celebration, Oviedo, and Winter Springs.

Every client who works with Orlando Accident Attorneys receives hands-on attention from the first free consultation through final resolution. Attorneys investigate each accident by gathering police reports, medical records, and witness statements, negotiate directly with insurance companies, and prepare every case as though it will proceed to trial. The firm pursues full compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs, and represents clients on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients pay nothing unless compensation is recovered.

What differentiates the firm from larger, high-volume practices is its boutique structure combined with courtroom readiness. Attorneys bring local knowledge of courts across Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties, along with the resources and trial experience needed to take on large insurance companies and corporate defendants, while still delivering the personal, white-glove service that sets a boutique firm apart.

Mark David Shirian P.C. is a New York City litigation firm founded in 2016 by attorney Mark D. Shirian, joined by Shawn D. Shirian as Senior Associate. The firm was established to represent individuals against parties with more resources and more incentive to delay, and that mission still defines how it selects and handles cases.

The firm provides personal injury, employment discrimination, and entertainment law representation. Personal injury matters include car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, construction injuries, premises liability, medical malpractice, product liability, dog bites, nursing home negligence, and wrongful death claims.

Clients work directly with an attorney rather than a case manager, from intake through resolution. The firm investigates claims early to preserve evidence, identifies every responsible party in a case, and builds damages using bills, wage documentation, and expert projections rather than estimates. Every case is prepared as though it will go to trial, since insurers respond to real trial risk rather than an assumption that a claimant will settle for less.

Representation is offered on a contingency fee basis, meaning there is no fee unless a recovery is obtained, and case evaluations are confidential and free. The firm has recovered millions of dollars for clients and combines the experience of a large firm with the attentive service of a boutique practice.

The firm serves clients across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, with cases filed in New York County, Kings County, Queens County, Bronx County, and Richmond County Supreme Court. Its reach extends into Nassau County and Westchester County. The office is located at 228 East 45th Street, Suite 1700B, in Manhattan.

Attorney Mark D. Shirian has been featured in national media outlets including the New York Times, Newsweek, and Fox News. The firm describes its approach as assertive, dependable, creative, and honest.
