Your Clients Deserve a Courtroom. We Take Them There.
If your firm settles cases well but doesn't try them, you already know the problem: defendants read your file, see no trial history, and low-ball every offer. The Paris Law Group serves as trial counsel and co-counsel for plaintiff attorneys across New York who need a partner with genuine courtroom experience behind the demand.
What We Bring to a Co-Counsel Relationship
Jason Paris has been trying personal injury cases for more than 30 years. That means depositions taken with verdict in mind, expert witnesses retained for courtroom performance — not just report quality — and a defense bar that knows we will try a case when the number isn't right.
We handle the full trial-counsel function so your firm can do what it does best: intake, investigation, and client relationships. We step in when the case needs a lawyer who has stood in front of a jury.

- Multiple attorneys and two to three paralegals assigned to every file
- Deep medical-specialist referral network to build damages records that hold up at trial
- Honest case assessment from day one — we take cases we believe we can win

The Cases We Try as Trial Counsel
We accept referrals and co-counsel arrangements across the full range of serious personal injury matters, with particular depth in the case types that generate the highest verdicts in New York.
Construction Site Injuries — Labor Law §240 and §241(6)
Scaffold Law cases are among the most valuable and most contested in New York personal injury litigation. We know the statutory framework, the common defenses, and how to present elevation-related injury claims to a Queens or New York City jury.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian cases — including no-fault coverage disputes and serious injury threshold arguments under Insurance Law §5102(d). We handle the full spectrum of motor vehicle litigation.
MTA, Transit Bus, and Subway Accidents
Municipal and public authority cases require a Notice of Claim filed within 90 days of the incident. If your client came to you close to that window, we move fast. We are experienced with MTA and NYC Transit litigation and the procedural requirements that govern it.
Premises Liability
Slip, trip, and fall cases — stores, sidewalks, residential buildings, and construction sites. We build the notice record and try the liability dispute when defendants refuse to settle at value.
Wrongful Death
These cases require both courtroom experience and the ability to present a family's loss with clarity and dignity. We have tried wrongful death matters and understand what it takes to reach a just result for surviving families.
How We Build Cases That Produce These Numbers
A large verdict or settlement doesn't happen because a lawyer filed the right paperwork. It happens because the case was built — from the first call — as if it were going to trial. That preparation is what we bring to every file.
Immediate Evidence Preservation
Construction sites get cleaned up. Surveillance footage gets overwritten. Witnesses move on. We move fast to preserve what exists before it disappears — including emergency site inspections, spoliation letters to defendants, and FOIL requests for government records.
Medical Coordination from Day One
We connect clients with orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and other specialists who understand how to document injuries in a way that holds up in court. The quality of medical documentation is often the difference between a fair recovery and a lowball offer.
Expert Development
We retain accident reconstruction engineers, vocational experts, and life-care planners as the case develops. By the time we're at the negotiating table or in front of a jury, the full picture of what this injury cost our client — now and in the future — is documented and defensible.
Trial-Ready Posture Throughout
Insurance companies know which firms will settle for anything and which ones will actually try a case. Because Jason Paris has 30+ years of trial experience and our team prepares every case for the courtroom, we negotiate from a position of credibility. That posture drives better settlements — and when a defendant won't pay what the case is worth, we go to trial.
A Note on Case Results and What They Mean for You
Every personal injury case turns on its own facts — the severity of the injury, the strength of the liability evidence, the defendant's insurance coverage, and dozens of other variables. We share these results not to promise a number, but to show you how we think about cases and what's possible when a case is handled properly.
What we will always give you is an honest assessment. We don't inflate expectations to sign you up. If we take your case, it's because we believe we can win it — and we'll tell you plainly what we think it's worth and why.
Frequently Asked Questions From Referring Attorneys
Do you accept referrals from firms outside New York City?
Yes. We serve clients and accept co-counsel referrals across Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Staten Island, Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk Counties. If the case involves a New York venue, we can discuss it.
Can you step in on a case that is already in litigation?
Yes. We regularly enter cases after discovery is underway or when a trial date has been set. The earlier we are involved the better, but we can assess any case at any stage.
What case types do you focus on for trial counsel work?
Construction accidents — particularly Labor Law §240 and §241(6) claims — are our highest-value referral category. We also try motor vehicle, premises liability, MTA and transit, and wrongful death cases.
How are referral fees structured?
Fee-sharing arrangements are governed by New York Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 1.5(g). We discuss the structure directly with referring counsel before any agreement is signed and ensure all required client disclosures are made.
What makes The Paris Law Group different from other trial counsel options?
Jason Paris has been trying cases for more than 30 years, not managing a settlement volume. When defense counsel sees our name on a case, they know there is a real trial risk behind the demand. That changes how cases resolve. In fact, we are often advised that future cases settle even before we are involved, by nature of defense counsel knowing that if they don’t settle they will have our firm involved at a later date.

Jason Paris founded The Paris Law Group on the conviction that injured New Yorkers deserve lawyers who will take their case to trial when the offer falls short. With more than three decades of plaintiff-side trial experience, membership on the NYSTLA Executive Board, and a team that puts multiple attorneys and paralegals on every file, we are built for the cases other firms need a courtroom partner to handle. If you have a matter that belongs in front of a jury, we want to hear about it.
