About Yazdi Law
A Midtown Manhattan law firm handling immigration, personal injury, matrimonial, and real estate matters for New Yorkers across the five boroughs.
The Firm
Who We Are
Yazdi Law, PLLC is a full-service New York City law firm located at 261 Madison Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, two blocks from Grand Central Terminal. The firm was founded by Amirali Oloomiyazdi, Esq. to provide accessible, substantive legal representation across four practice areas that frequently overlap in our clients' lives: immigration, personal injury, matrimonial and family law, and real estate and landlord-tenant matters.
We represent individuals, families, and small businesses in New York State Supreme Court, Family Court, and New York City Housing Court, and before federal agencies including U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services at 26 Federal Plaza. Our clients come from all five boroughs, from Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester counties, and from the broader Iranian-American community both nationally and internationally. Counsel is available in English and Farsi (Persian).
The firm is deliberately structured as a relationship-driven practice rather than a volume shop. Every client works directly with an attorney — not an intake coordinator or paralegal — from initial consultation through resolution. We take cases we believe we can handle well and decline matters that are outside our competence or beyond our capacity to serve properly.
Philosophy
Our Approach
Good legal work starts with listening. Every matter begins with a free consultation in which we take the time to understand the client's actual situation — the facts, the stakes, the timeline, and what the client needs to see happen. Only after we understand the problem do we discuss the legal options available, the realistic range of outcomes, and the honest assessment of whether and how we can help.
We write and speak plainly. Legal matters are stressful enough without clients having to decode what their lawyer is saying. We explain the relevant law, the procedure, the timeline, and the cost in language that makes sense, and we check to make sure our clients understand what we've said. When Farsi-language explanation is preferred, we conduct the entire conversation in Farsi.
We are honest about what we can and cannot accomplish. We will not promise outcomes we cannot verify or take cases we do not believe have a reasonable path forward. Some prospective clients hear assessments at our consultations that they did not want to hear — that a case has weaknesses that cannot be argued away, that a strategy carries risks that must be weighed, that a different approach would serve them better. This candor is what serves clients best over time.
We are responsive. Clients can reach the attorney handling their matter by phone and email. We return calls and emails the same day or the next business morning when possible. In urgent matters — approaching statutory deadlines, pending court dates, time-sensitive immigration issues — we adjust to meet what the case requires.
Leadership
The Managing Attorney
Amirali Oloomiyazdi, Esq. is the managing attorney and founder of Yazdi Law, PLLC. He handles matters across all four of the firm's practice areas, with a particular focus on complex immigration cases, matrimonial matters involving cross-cultural considerations, personal injury litigation, and real estate transactions for first-generation immigrant clients and international investors.
Mr. Oloomiyazdi is admitted to practice in New York State. He conducts matters in both English and Farsi (Persian), serving the Iranian-American community in New York with bilingual and culturally informed representation. His practice combines substantive New York legal work with an understanding of the particular legal needs — immigration complications stemming from U.S.–Iran relations, divorce matters involving Islamic marriage contracts, real estate investments requiring cultural as well as legal translation — that arise specifically in this community.
Beyond the managing attorney, the firm includes additional attorneys and support staff who work directly on client matters. Learn more about the firm's attorneys.

Why Yazdi Law
What Makes the Firm Different
Several things distinguish Yazdi Law from other New York City practices.
Direct attorney access
Every client works directly with the attorney handling their case. The attorney who takes your call on the consultation is the attorney who prepares your documents, responds to opposing counsel, and appears at court dates or interviews. This structural choice means clients get the benefit of continuous attorney attention to their matter — which in substantive legal work produces better outcomes than a volume-driven model where clients are handed off between staff.
Multilingual representation
The firm provides full legal representation in English and Farsi (Persian), serving New York's Iranian-American community with attorneys who understand both the legal system and the cultural context. For immigration, family law, real estate, and personal injury matters involving Iranian and other Farsi-speaking clients, language access and cultural understanding change how cases are prepared and received.
Cross-practice coordination
Clients' legal needs often cross practice area lines. A divorce affects an immigration case tied to marriage. A personal injury settlement intersects with a pending real estate purchase. An immigration status question arises during a tenant's eviction defense. Yazdi Law's four-practice-area structure allows us to address these interconnected issues with a single firm rather than referring each component to separate counsel.
Midtown Manhattan accessibility
The office is at 261 Madison Avenue, two blocks from Grand Central Terminal, steps from the 4/5/6 and 7 subway lines, and accessible from all five boroughs. For clients across NYC — and particularly for those coming from Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Westchester — the location makes in-person meetings practical when matters require them.
Transparent pricing
Fees are discussed openly at the initial consultation and set out in a written retainer agreement before any work begins. For personal injury matters, we work on contingency — no fee unless we recover. For other practice areas, we use flat fees for defined-scope matters (uncontested divorces, residential closings, I-130 petitions) and hourly billing for matters where scope is uncertain. Clients should not be surprised by costs mid-case.
