NYC Construction · Auto · Investor Rights

Plaintiff's representation in New York, built differently.

We pair federal-court legal training with developer-side operational
insight. That changes how we read your case — and what we recover
for you.

We represent people injured on New York construction sites, drivers and passengers harmed in motor vehicle accidents, pedestrians and cyclists struck on city streets, and — through our investor rights practice — people whose investment losses came from corporate misconduct.

AIf something happened to you that shouldn't have, we want to know about it.

Practice Areas

Three practices. One standard.

Construction Accidents

New York's Labor Law gives injured construction workers the strongest protections in the country — and most workers don't know they exist. We focus on §240, §241(6), and §200 cases, scaffold falls, falling objects, and the full range of construction-site injuries across the five boroughs.

Personal Injury & Auto Accidents

Rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, hit-and-runs, Uber and Lyft accidents, MTA bus and Citi Bike incidents, pedestrian and bicycle injuries. New York's no-fault system is more complicated than most drivers know. We pursue every layer of available coverage — not just the obvious one.

Investor Rights

Public-company investors who lose money to corporate fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, or merger misconduct have rights — and a path to recovery on a contingent fee basis with no out-of-pocket cost. Our investor rights practice operates nationally.


Two things make us different.

We use both on every case.

Cylinder 1

Federal-court training.

Most plaintiff's firms in New York compete on volume. We compete on training.

Our managing partner, Bob Amirian, clerked on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and practiced at Venable LLP before founding Amparo. That training is not the typical baseline in NYC plaintiff's work — and it shows up in everything we file. Cleaner papers. Tighter records. Cases prepared with the discipline of attorneys who learned to write for federal judges.

Cylinder 2

Developer-side operational insight.

Most plaintiff's firms read a construction case after the accident. We have a developer in the room before we file.

Our co-founder and COO, Jordan Sakni, runs an active NYC real estate development company. He has signed general contractor contracts, sat in OAC meetings, supervised subcontractors, read daily logs in real time, and watched safety budgets get negotiated under schedule pressure. That operational lens is the second pair of eyes on every construction file.


What happens after you call us

1

A real conversation, the same day

When you call or fill out the form, you reach a real person within hours, not days. We listen, we ask questions, we tell you honestly whether we think you have a case.

2

A free consultation, where you are

In our One World Trade Center office, by video, by phone, or at the hospital. There is no fee for the consultation, ever, regardless of whether you hire us.

3

A clear engagement, an immediate investigation

If we take the case, you sign a contingency agreement — pay nothing unless we recover. We send a preservation letter the same day. Evidence disappears fast. We move faster.

4

Communication you can count on

Our clients hear from their lawyer directly. Not through layers of paralegals. Not in fragments. We tell you what is happening, what to expect next, and when.
