Advancing Justice
Without Border 

Herischi Law is dedicated to achieving justice for victims of human rights abuses and state-sponsored terrorism. We represent individuals and families who have suffered torture, extrajudicial killings, drone and missile attacks, and other grave violations, securing landmark multi-million and multi-hundred-million-dollar judgments in U.S. courts under the FSIA terrorism exception, TVPA, ATS, ATA/JASTA, and related statutes. Our cases include representation of the victims of Ukrainian International Airlines Flight PS752, the families of the MT Sanchi oil tanker disaster, victims of Iranian missile and drone attacks in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, the family of former Iranian Deputy Prime Minister Abbas Amir-Entezam, the family of General Gholam-Ali Oveissi, prominent human rights lawyer Mehrangiz Kar, and activist Masih Alinejad. In addition to aggressive litigation and judgment enforcement, we provide strategic counsel on U.S. sanctions and OFAC compliance, represent whistleblowers in major reward programs, and advocate for asylum seekers. With deep expertise in Iranian affairs and a proven track record of delivering justice where it was previously denied, Herischi Law combines relentless advocacy with strategic excellence to amplify victims’ voices and drive systemic accountability.

Practice Areas

FSIA
Terrorism Exception and Judgment Enforcement

We leverage the FSIA terrorism exception, commercial activity exception, and expropriation exception to hold foreign states accountable and aggressively enforce large judgments against them. 

Torture Victim Protection Act (TVPA) and Alien Tort Statute (ATS)

We help victims of torture and extrajudicial killing bring civil claims under the TVPA and ATS against individuals acting under color of foreign law, seeking accountability and compensation for severe human rights abuses.

Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) / Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA)

We pursue treble damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs under the ATA and JASTA for U.S. nationals and their families injured by acts of international terrorism or those who knowingly aid and abet such acts.

Whistleblower Representation, FinCEN, DOJ, and Rewards for Justice Programs

We confidentially represent whistleblowers seeking substantial financial rewards through FinCEN, DOJ, and the State Department’s Rewards for Justice program for information on terrorism financing, sanctions evasion, and related national security violations.

Sanctions, OFAC Compliance, and Related Regulatory Matters

We provide expert guidance on U.S. economic sanctions, OFAC compliance, licensing applications, risk assessments, and strategies to locate and enforce judgments against blocked assets of sanctioned entities.

Human Rights Litigation

We represent victims and their families in claims for wrongful death, severe torture, arbitrary detention, enforced disappearance, and other grave human rights violations, using multiple federal statutes to secure justice and meaningful compensation.
