Nisan L. Bangiev, Esq
Founding Partner
New York made me who I am.
I grew up in Flushing, Queens — in a neighborhood where people worked hard, minded their business, and learned early that nobody was coming to hand them anything. For years, I rode the E and F train from Union Turnpike into Manhattan and Brooklyn alongside the people who truly keep this city alive: construction workers, nurses, delivery drivers, office employees, small business owners, immigrants chasing opportunity, and parents doing everything they could for their families.
Those train rides taught me more about people than any classroom ever could.
New Yorkers carry a lot. Pressure. Stress. Responsibility. Most keep moving no matter what life throws at them. But after a serious accident, everything can change overnight. Suddenly, the bills pile up, work stops, insurance companies start playing games, and people realize very quickly that the system is not built to protect them.
That’s where I come in.
I attended New York University’s Stern School of Business before earning my law degree from Brooklyn Law School. But my real education came from growing up in this city — seeing how hard people fight for what they have and how devastating it is when someone’s life gets disrupted because of another person’s negligence.
That perspective is the foundation of Gotham Law.
I built this firm for everyday New Yorkers — the commuters catching early trains, the workers putting in overtime, the entrepreneurs building businesses, the parents trying to stay ahead, and the families doing everything they can to make it in one of the toughest cities in the world.
When insurance companies delay, deny, or undervalue a legitimate claim, they are not fighting a file.
They are hurting a real person.
At Gotham Law, clients are never treated like numbers or passed around to assistants and call centers. When people hire me, they get me. I believe in being accessible, responsive, strategic, and aggressive when the situation demands it.
Because after an accident, people do not just need a lawyer.
They need someone willing to stand up for them when they feel overwhelmed, vulnerable, and ignored.
New York has always been a city of fighters.
This city raised me.
Now I fight for the people who live here.
