Thirty Years in the Courtroom. On Your Side
Jason Paris built this firm around a single conviction: injured people deserve a trial attorney who will actually take their case to verdict if that is what it takes. That conviction, and three decades of doing exactly that, is what distinguishes The Paris Law Group from settlement-volume operations that never see a courtroom.
Education, Credentials, and Courtroom Record
Jason earned his undergraduate degree from Brandeis University and his law degree from Fordham Law School. He has devoted his entire career to plaintiff-side personal injury litigation — representing injured workers, accident victims, and families who have lost someone — with verdicts taken in Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Staten Island, Westchester, Nassau, Suffolk, Dutchess, Rockland, Orange and Putnam Counties.
His recognition reflects a consistent record, not a single headline:
- Named a Super Lawyer in New York, a peer-reviewed designation earned by fewer than 5% of attorneys statewide
- Member of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association Executive Board — the organization that shapes plaintiff-side litigation standards in New York
- Featured in the New York Post for his work on behalf of injured clients
- 4.9-star average across 33 Google reviews from clients who came to us after difficult experiences
Jason takes cases he believes he can win. That selectivity is not a limitation — it is a commitment to the clients who hire him.
What Jason Paris Handles — and Why It Matters
Jason's practice centers on the cases that demand the most from a trial attorney: construction accidents governed by New York Labor Law §240 and §241(6), serious motor vehicle collisions, MTA and transit accidents requiring Notice of Claim filings, premises liability, and wrongful death. These are not routine cases. They involve contested liability, complex medical causation, and defendants represented by well-funded insurance carriers.
The difference between a settlement-mill attorney and a trial attorney becomes visible the moment a carrier decides to fight. Jason's record in courtrooms — and his willingness to take cases to verdict — changes how the other side calculates risk from the first filing.
Other plaintiff firms that lack in-house trial counsel regularly refer their most contested cases to Jason. That trust from attorneys who know the system is its own credential.
How Jason and the Team Work With You
Every file at The Paris Law Group is staffed with multiple attorneys and two to three paralegals. Jason is not a solo practitioner who delegates to an assistant. When you call, text, or email, you reach the team that is actively working your case.
Jason and the firm are available by phone, text, email, and video chat — including on weekends. If you are a union construction worker, an immigrant household navigating the system for the first time, or a family dealing with a wrongful-death claim, you will be met in plain English, Spanish, or Russian, and you will never be given an inflated case value to earn your business. You will get an honest conversation about what your case is worth and what it will take to pursue it.
Deadlines That Cannot Be Extended
New York's no-fault insurance system requires that you file for benefits within 30 days of your accident. Claims against the MTA, NYC Transit, or other public authorities require a Notice of Claim filed within 90 days. Missing either deadline can eliminate rights that cannot be restored.
If you are unsure where you stand, the right time to call is now.
Frequently Asked Questions About Jason Paris
