Human Rights Litigation

The office of Herischi & Associates is dedicated to human rights and the use of legal means to expand and protect its clients' human rights. Since its formation in 2010, Mr. Herischi and his associates have brought multiple actions in courts to defend their clients for domestic and international abuses. Our practices are formed around human rights; our labor and employment practice is focused on anti-discriminatory and civil rights issues in the work environment. We have the same approach in our immigration law practice; we represent clients claiming asylum on political and religious grounds and help clients in immigration courts; we fight for our clients to gain legal status, join their family, or prevent family separation. There is an element of human rights in everything we do, and we never side with those in whose cause we don't believe.

The law firm of Herischi & Associates currently represents family members of Ukrainian Airline PS752, Sanchi Oil Tanker. Also, it represents Mr. Abass Amirentezam's family, Mr. Siamak Porzand family, Ms. Masih Alinejad, and Mr. Akbar Lakestani for their claims against the Islamic Republic of Iran and IRGC under FSIA.
