This established practice, which has been serving clients in the Bronx, New York, and other boroughs since 2009, offers a rare combination of strong, verifiable earnings and a defensible niche market position. The firm focuses on representing individuals in false arrest and related civil rights matters, operating in a high need borough with elevated rates of wrongful arrests and systemic policing issues—factors that support a steady flow of new cases and sustained demand for its services.
Financial performance is a key strength. From 2022–2024, the practice generated a three-year average gross revenue of approximately $2.74 million, with a three-year average Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) of roughly $1.96 million, reflecting exceptional cash flow and substantial owner benefit. Including 2025 year-to-date results, the four-year average gross revenue is approximately $2.65 million, with average annual growth in the 31–33% range. Overhead has averaged about 35% of gross revenue since 2022, closely tracking industry norms and indicating an efficient, scalable cost structure.
The firm’s location is a major competitive advantage. The office sits at street level directly across from the Bronx Criminal/Family Courts and Bronx Central Booking, placing the practice at the physical center of its target market. Every arrest in the borough flows through Central Booking, which naturally channels qualified walk- in clients to the firm at the moment they most need representation. This prime positioning has allowed the business to grow without any formal marketing budget, relying instead on visibility, word of mouth, referrals, and free media coverage generated by high profile cases.
Beyond its location, the practice benefits from a well established client database of approximately 2,000 contacts. Based on industry lead values, this database alone represents an estimated $40,000 in lead asset value and provides a strong foundation for reactivation, referral, and review campaigns under new ownership. Online reviews are excellent, with perfect ratings on major platforms, underscoring the firm’s reputation for effective advocacy and client service.
Operations are lean and highly turnkey. The current team consists of the owner attorney, one paralegal, and one receptionist, a structure that supports low overhead while maintaining client accessibility and efficient case handling. The owner is willing to remain actively involved for approximately 12–18 months after closing, ensuring continuity of relationships, transfer of know-how, and a smooth transition for the buyer. The firm currently lacks extensive written policies and procedures, which presents an opportunity for a growth-minded purchaser to install or integrate their own systems in intake, marketing, sales, and production to further enhance profitability and reduce owner dependence.
For a buyer, the upside is clear: this is a high-margin, niche civil rights practice with strong historical SDE, organic case flow generated without paid advertising, a strategic courthouse adjacent location, and meaningful opportunities to drive further growth through modern marketing, additional staffing, and process optimization. Whether acquired by an individual litigator seeking a powerful earnings engine, a larger firm looking to add a focused false arrest vertical, or an investor seeking an income producing legal asset, this practice represents a compelling platform with both immediate cash flow and significant long term growth potential.
