In the heart of Utica, New York, stands a law firm whose name has become synonymous with trust, resilience, and relentless advocacy for the people — Brindisi, Murad & Brindisi Pearlman.

 

Founded in 1960 by Louis T. Brindisi, a newly minted graduate of Albany Law School, the firm began with a simple yet powerful mission: to fight for everyday people when they need it most. Back then, Utica and the greater Oneida County region were bustling with factories, small businesses, and tight-knit neighborhoods. Hardworking families built this region — and when they were injured or wronged, they needed a champion who spoke their language, understood their struggles, and would stand toe-to-toe with powerful insurance companies and corporate interests.

 

Louis Brindisi was that champion. In an era when personal injury law was still evolving, he carved out a reputation as one of the most skilled trial lawyers in Upstate New York. He earned respect not just for his courtroom victories, but for the compassion he showed every client who walked through his door. Each case was never just a file — it was a story, a family, a life turned upside down.

 

As the years passed, Louis welcomed like-minded lawyers into the fold — attorneys who shared his work ethic, his sense of fairness, and his unwavering belief that justice should never be out of reach for the working man or woman. This is how Brindisi, Murad & Brindisi Pearlman grew — not through flashy billboards or promises it couldn’t keep, but through word of mouth, referrals from grateful clients, and a reputation-built trial by trial, verdict by verdict.

 

While other firms have come and gone — some boasting big city offices in Albany or Buffalo — Brindisi, Murad & Brindisi Pearlman remained firmly rooted in Central New York. The lawyers here try cases in the Northern District of New York and courts throughout the state, bringing big-city firepower to local communities. They have practiced law for decades in local courts, and, as such, they know the terrain — and, most importantly, they know their clients.

 

Today, over 65 years since its founding, the firm stands tall as one of the oldest and most respected personal injury law firms in the region. It has been named by U.S. News & World Report as one of the Best Law Firms in America, with each partner also recognized as among the Best Lawyers in America. These honors reflect not just legal skill, but a deep commitment to doing right by the people who entrust them with their most serious battles.

 

Brindisi, Murad & Brindisi Pearlman remains true to its roots as “The People’s Lawyers.” It is a title worn with pride — a promise that whether you are a construction worker hurt on the job, a family devastated by a drunk driver, or an elderly neighbor mistreated by a careless caregiver, you will find fierce advocates ready to fight for you.

 

And the legacy continues. New generations of lawyers now work alongside Louis Brindisi, who after more than six decades at the bar, still brings his wealth of knowledge and tenacity to every case. This is more than a law firm — it is a family of professionals dedicated to the simple but powerful idea that everyone deserves a fair shot at justice.

 

In a world where bigger firms advertise from afar, Brindisi, Murad & Brindisi Pearlman stands where it always has — right here in Utica, ready to stand up for you, your family, and your future. That is the promise they made in 1960, and it is the promise they keep today.
