A Family Tradition… And a Firm Tradition
The story of Brindisi, Murad & Brindisi Pearlman is both a family story and a professional one.
Louis T. Brindisi began practicing law in 1960.
His daughter, Eva Brindisi Pearlman, followed him into the profession and became his law partner. She has developed her own extensive practice representing injured people, including work involving mass torts, pharmaceutical litigation, motor vehicle accidents and other significant personal injury matters.
Anthony Murad, Louis’s first cousin and longtime law partner, has worked alongside Louis for decades and has handled serious personal injury litigation, including construction and Labor Law cases, trucking matters and other complex cases.
Different lawyers. Different generations and experiences. One continuing commitment:
Represent the person—not merely the case.
That is what we mean when we call ourselves:
THE PEOPLE’S LAWYER
A serious injury case is about much more than an accident.
It may be about whether someone will ever work again. Whether a parent can care for a family. Whether a person will walk again. Whether someone suffering a traumatic brain injury will ever live independently. Whether a family that has lost a loved one will have financial security.
We understand what is at stake.
Over decades of practice, our attorneys have represented people suffering from catastrophic and life-changing injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Paralysis
- Quadriplegia and paraplegia
- Amputations
- Severe burns
- Spinal cord injuries
- Serious orthopedic injuries
- Permanent disabilities
- Wrongful death
When the Injury Is Serious, Experience Matters!
With more than 65 years of experience, we have handled complex personal injury cases involving:
- Construction accidents
- Trucking accidents
- Dangerous and defective products
- Serious motor vehicle collisions
- Medical negligence
- Mass tort and pharmaceutical litigation
These are not simply files in an office. They are people whose lives have changed.
That distinction has guided this firm for more than six decades.
RESULTS THAT MATTER

Car Accident Settlement

Construction Accident Settlement

Slip & Fall Accident Settlement
A case result is important. But behind every result is a person.
Over the firm’s history, our attorneys have handled cases involving substantial recoveries for people suffering catastrophic injuries and for families who have lost loved ones.
Catastrophic injuries can cause severe, permanent, or long-term impairment, fundamentally changing a person’s life and affecting their ability to work, live independently, and care for themselves. These cases may involve traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, amputations, severe burns, and other life-altering conditions. Click here for more information on catastrophic injuries.
Some cases were resolved through settlement. Others required extensive litigation. Some were resolved only after a trial had begun.
Every case is different, and past results cannot guarantee what will happen in another case.
What does remain constant is our commitment to preparing serious cases seriously.
Brindisi, Murad & Brindisi Pearlman has received professional recognition developed over decades of practice.

RECOGNIZED BY THE LEGAL PROFESSION
A Law Firm Built in the Courtroom
There is a difference between advertising that you are a trial lawyer and having spent a lifetime actually trying cases.
Louis T. Brindisi spent decades standing before judges and juries. He selected juries. He made opening statements. He cross-examined witnesses. He presented medical and scientific experts. He made closing arguments. He waited in courthouse hallways while juries deliberated. He stood with clients when verdicts were announced. He made post-trial motions when necessary and pursued appeals when the law and circumstances required them.
That courtroom experience became part of the culture of Brindisi, Murad & Brindisi Pearlman.
Today, the firm combines that traditional trial experience with modern litigation, technology, medical evidence, expert testimony and sophisticated case preparation.
Our goal has never been simply to have cases. Our goal is to represent people well.
OUR CLIENTS ARE OUR LIVES.
More Than 65 Years in the Law
Louis T. Brindisi’s career spans more than six decades. That milestone has been recognized by public officials and organizations at the state, federal and local levels.
Recognition of his career has included proclamations and honors from government officials and community institutions, including recognition from the State of New York, federal representatives, Oneida County, the City of Utica and the Oneida County Bar Association. Oneida County designated September 6 as Louis T. Brindisi Day, and he has also been recognized as an Honorary Deputy Sheriff. The Oneida County Bar Association has honored his career and arranged for its proclamation recognizing him to be displayed at the Bar Association.
These honors mean something to us not simply because they recognize one lawyer.
They represent a lifetime spent practicing law in the community we call home.
SERIOUS CASES. SERIOUS PREPARATION.
Our firm handles cases involving:
Car Accidents
Serious motor vehicle collisions can change a person’s life in seconds. We investigate the collision, the injuries, available insurance coverage, and every potential source of recovery.
Truck Accidents
Commercial trucking cases can involve multiple companies, complicated regulations, electronic evidence, maintenance records, and significant insurance coverage. Early investigation can be critical.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle crashes can result in serious injuries and long-term consequences, often leaving riders facing significant medical expenses and lost income. We investigate the cause of the crash, the available insurance coverage, and all potential sources of compensation.
Slip & Fall Accidents
Falls caused by dangerous or hazardous conditions can result in serious injuries, medical expenses, and lasting consequences. We investigate the property conditions, how the accident occurred, who may be responsible, and the insurance coverage available.
Construction Accidents
Construction workers face some of the most dangerous working conditions in New York. Our attorneys handle serious construction and New York Labor Law claims involving falls, unsafe work sites, falling objects, and other hazards.
Medical Malpractice & Nursing Home Negligence
Medical errors and negligent care can cause serious injury, worsening health conditions, or death. These cases require careful review of medical records, the care provided, applicable standards, and the actions of the healthcare professionals or facility involved.
Wrongful Death
No amount of money replaces a person who has died. The civil justice system can, however, provide accountability and financial protection for the family left behind.
Catastrophic Injuries
We have represented people suffering traumatic brain injuries, paralysis, amputations, burns, and other permanent and devastating injuries.
Product Liability
Manufacturers and others in the distribution chain may be responsible when defective or dangerously designed products cause serious injuries.
Mass Torts & Pharmaceutical Litigation
Our firm’s experience includes complex litigation involving pharmaceutical companies and other large corporate defendants.
YOU HAVE A CHOICE OF LAWYERS
People throughout Central New York see and hear advertisements for personal injury law firms every day.
Some firms are local. Some are located hours away. Some advertise statewide. Advertising alone does not tell you who will actually handle your case.
Before choosing a lawyer, ask questions:
- Who will be responsible for my case?
- Where is the lawyer located?
- What experience does the lawyer have with serious injury cases?
- Does the firm have courtroom experience?
- Will I be able to speak with the people handling my case?
We welcome those questions. We believe clients should know who is representing them.
if you already have a lawyer but are dissatisfied with the communication or handling of your case, you have the right to speak with another attorney about your options.

After an accident, an insurance representative may contact you quickly and ask for a statement.
Be careful.
The other driver’s insurance company represents its insured and its own interests.
You should consider obtaining legal advice before giving a recorded or detailed statement to another party’s insurance company.
Evidence can disappear. Memories can fade. Important deadlines may apply.
The sooner serious cases are properly investigated, the better opportunity your lawyers may have to preserve important evidence.
Before You Speak With an Insurance Company, Speak With a Lawyer
Our Promise Is Simple
We cannot promise the outcome of any case. No ethical lawyer should.
What we can promise is how we approach the people who come through our doors.
We will listen. We will tell you what we think. We will explain your options. We will prepare serious cases seriously.
And we will remember that behind every file is a person and a family.
That philosophy has guided this firm for more than 65 years.
It will continue to guide us.
