What Pollack Pollack Isaac & DeCicco does

Pollack, Pollack, Isaac & DeCicco, LLP (PPID) is a New York-registered limited liability partnership founded in 1945 by Arthur Pollack, a Nuremberg Trials translator and WWII veteran, and now led by Managing Partner Conrad E. Pollack. The firm operates from two offices — a headquarters at 250 Broadway in Manhattan (strategically near 26 Federal Plaza and federal immigration courts) and a secondary location at 1045 Park Street in Peekskill — and represents individual, family, and employer clients across the New York metro and internationally on a remote basis. It is organized into four core practice areas: Immigration Law (the founding and primary practice, covering family-based immigration, employment-based visas and green cards including H-1B, O-1, L-1, E-1/E-2, TN, EB-1/2/3, deportation defense, citizenship and naturalization, F1/M1 student visas, DACA, VAWA, U-Visa, and Special Immigrant Juvenile Status), Personal Injury (car, construction, motorcycle, train, premises liability, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, wrongful death), Real Estate (commercial and residential transactions, leasing, landlord-tenant), and Litigation (trial and appellate representation across practice areas).

The firm runs on standard legal practice management and case management systems, with no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capabilities disclosed, and no patents or trademarks filed. Its only documented third-party integration is LawPay for payment processing (accessible at secure.lawpay.com/pages/ppid/operating). Marketing is driven by a multilingual owned-content engine (Spanish, Chinese, Bulgarian, Russian, Hindi, Punjabi, and more), five active social media profiles under the @ppidlaw handle, a regularly updated bilingual blog covering immigration policy and enforcement, and a referral network built on long-tenure client relationships dating back decades.

PPID's revenue model is professional-services based, combining flat-fee immigration representation (with initial consultation fees credited toward case cost when retained within 30 days), contingency-fee personal injury work (where Adam S. Handler's department has recovered over $170 million for clients since 2004), and transactional real estate and litigation engagements. Customer acquisition is primarily referral- and word-of-mouth-driven, supplemented by a December 2024 website refresh with a multi-step consultation request form enabling self-serve lead capture for individuals and small businesses. The firm explicitly maintains a limited case-load approach to provide direct personal attorney attention, with no external investment, private equity, or institutional backing identified in the source materials.
