About

Your complex commercial dispute is best handled by a lawyer focused on getting to a favorable and final judgment.

I founded the Law Office of Ihsan Dogramaci to put that approach in the service of my clients.

In 2013, after trying cases with some of the best lawyers in New York, I chose to practice law as a solo. In the Law Office of Ihsan Dogramaci’s first six years, I took three cases to trial while resolving many others by motion practice or settlement. From 2019-2023, I put my solo practice on pause while I represented my clients as a partner in an international boutique. In 2023, I revived my PLLC, the vehicle for my solo practice, convinced that often clients with complex disputes should hire a sophisticated solo litigator. Handling complex commercial litigation in firms both large and small as well as in my own PLLC, I found that many clients receive the best representation here, in this vehicle, my own PLLC.

Unwieldy firms that overstaff their matters would like you to think there is a tradeoff to hiring a solo lawyer, that the advantages must be balanced against perceived disadvantages. But generally it isn't so. For example, document discovery -- the wellspring of billable hours for many litigators -- is often handled better by me than by a 100-lawyer firm. Hiring and closely supervising teams of document reviewers through expedited discovery schedules, I have succeeded in getting large document productions done within deadline and with care (and at a lower cost than at other firms). Likewise when court papers need to be prepared quickly: For clients who needed a rogue adversary restrained on an urgent basis, I have quickly established command of byzantine deal terms and intricate facts in order to obtain temporary restraining orders and other provisional relief.

Ultimately, your lawyer needs to do two things. First, your lawyer must shepherd your case through pretrial procedures, to the point where the case will be delivered to the jury or judge. Second, once you've arrived at that point, your lawyer must present your case coherently, no matter how complicated it is, and must convey your story empathically (because “the law comes second”). As the great mathematician David Hilbert wrote, "what is clear and easily comprehended attracts, the complicated repels us"; and no theory, however complicated, has been worked out until "you have made it so clear that you can explain it to the first man whom you meet on the street." Here, in the Law Office of Ihsan Dogramaci PLLC, I have demonstrated my skill at achieving both of the things you need. Here, I have efficiently shepherded cases from inception through trials that, at their most complex, involved novel issues of law, a dozen fact witnesses from three continents, and a half-dozen expert witnesses. And here I digest complex cases in order to present them in the simple way that courts want without sacrificing accuracy.

Most importantly, here you receive the kind of attention that establishes the foundation of every successful attorney-client relationship: trust.
