What Breit Biniazan does

Breit Biniazan is a plaintiff-side personal injury law firm founded in 1980 by Jeffrey Breit and now co-led with Kevin Biniazan as Managing Partner. The firm represents individuals who have suffered catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, medical malpractice, product liability, sexual abuse, and a broad range of negligence-based claims, with stated practice coverage across motor vehicle, truck, autonomous vehicle, maritime, aviation, construction, pharmaceutical, and premises liability matters. It operates four offices — Virginia Beach (headquarters), Richmond, Portsmouth, Phoenix — and a Washington D.C. presence, employing 12 or more attorneys.

The firm operates exclusively on a contingency fee basis, typically retaining 33-40% of any settlement or verdict, with no hourly billing and no client payment absent a win. It markets directly to consumers through a website, social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube), earned media coverage in outlets such as AP, BBC, CNN and ABC, and a free-consultation phone intake (855-659-4457). It also runs a co-counsel and referral channel that has produced approximately $55 million in referred settlements, partnering with firms including MLG Attorneys at Law and Fennemore Craig.

The firm has no proprietary technology platform, AI/ML capabilities, or software products. Its competitive position rests on accumulated case results (over $2 billion in cumulative verdicts and settlements, including a $360 million Cumberland Hospital verdict in 2023 and a $13.25 million Bell bike helmet verdict in 2026), trial experience, attorney reputation, and multi-state physical presence. The firm is privately held by its founding partners, with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or public-market listing.

Revenue model

1. Contingency Fee Legal Services: Personal injury law firm operates exclusively on a contingency fee basis. Attorneys do not charge by the hour and only receive payment when a case is won. If the client does not win, they owe the firm nothing. This model eliminates financial barriers for clients seeking catastrophic injury representation and aligns firm incentives with client outcomes.
