Mirman, Markovits & Landau: The 1977 Firm Whose Senior Partner Leads the New York State Trial Lawyers Association

Michele Mirman is senior partner of the Manhattan firm she co-founded and serves as President of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association — the state plaintiffs’ bar’s principal institution — after previously presiding over the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association.

Origin and Background

Mirman, Markovits & Landau, P.C. is headquartered in Manhattan, confirmed through the firm’s own site and independent listings. Founded in 1977 by Michele S. Mirman, Thomas P. Markovits, and Ronald J. Landau, the firm has spent nearly five decades representing injury victims across the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Westchester County, and reports having helped more than 20,000 accident victims.

Practice Concentration

The firm practices personal injury exclusively: motor vehicle accidents, construction injuries, premises liability, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, and municipal liability. See this New York Personal Injury directory for how this long-tenured borough-spanning practice compares to newer firms serving the five boroughs.

Notable Work / Track Record

The firm reports over $1 billion recovered for its personal injury clients across more than 20,000 representations, with attorneys carrying over 200 years of combined experience. Awesome Attorneys did not identify an itemized public table of individual case results comparable to the verdict-listing firms in this category, and discloses this as a presentation difference rather than a negative signal. Past results do not guarantee similar outcomes.

Client Voice

The firm’s high-volume, five-borough consumer practice carries a substantial public review footprint; Awesome Attorneys did not identify a pattern of negative reviews warranting disclosure.

Beyond the Courtroom

Mirman’s NYSTLA presidency, and the firm’s sponsorship activity in New York legal-community organizations, place its leadership inside the institutions that shape the state’s plaintiffs’ bar.

Recognition for This New York Personal Injury Firm

The NYSTLA presidency is an elected peer-leadership position — a professional recognition of a different and arguably stronger kind than directory listings, and distinct from paid marketing placements. New York State does not operate a state-run attorney specialization certification program, so Awesome Attorneys does not apply “specialist” language to any New York profile on a state-certification basis.

New York Legal Backdrop

Most New York injury claims carry a three-year statute of limitations under CPLR 214(5), with medical malpractice shortened to two and a half years under CPLR 214-a. New York’s no-fault system requires auto-accident victims to clear the “serious injury” threshold of Insurance Law Section 5102(d) before suing for pain and suffering, and pure comparative negligence applies under CPLR 1411. New York also caps attorney contingency fees in medical malpractice cases on a sliding statutory scale — a client-protective rule the firm’s own materials explain. None of this is legal advice; a specific injury claim should be evaluated by a licensed New York attorney based on the actual facts involved.

Awesome Attorneys Assessment

This firm’s clearest differentiator is institutional standing: a founding partner currently leading the state’s trial lawyers association, atop a 47-year practice with a billion-dollar cumulative recovery record. The honest trade-off is transparency of granularity — the firm publicizes aggregate figures rather than an itemized verdict table, so a prospective client comparing specific case-type results across firms will need to ask directly at consultation. For an injury victim in any borough who values a firm whose leadership sits at the center of New York’s plaintiffs’ bar, Mirman Markovits & Landau merits a place on a shortlist.
