Amir Bahreini

Amir Bahreini is a trial attorney in Kanner & Pintaluga’s Personal Injury Group with a rare and valuable asymmetry: before representing injured people, he defended insurance companies’ policyholders in general liability, trucking, and premises cases. That means he knows from the inside how a carrier values a file, how defense lawyers get assigned and budgeted, what a claims adjuster needs to see before settlement authority is released, and where a defense workup tends to be weakest. Injury victims comparing lawyers rarely find someone who has sat on the other side of the table and now uses that playbook against it.

His results as a plaintiff’s lawyer speak plainly. Acting as sole first-chair counsel, Bahreini won a jury verdict of $1,989,388.42 in a pedestrian motor vehicle case in Florida’s Tenth Judicial Circuit in Highlands County. He has personally run every phase of a civil jury trial — selecting the jury, delivering the opening, examining and crossing lay and expert witnesses, arguing the charge conference and jury instructions, and closing to the panel. His practice covers motor vehicle, trucking, motorcycle, premises liability, negligent security, catastrophic injury, and wrongful death matters in state and federal courts throughout Florida.

Bahreini is also unusually strong on modern evidence. He clerked with the United States Department of Justice’s Criminal Division, supporting litigation and electronic discovery in massive federal document matters, and he holds a Relativity e-discovery certification. In practice, that translates into rigorous handling of the digital proof that decides today’s injury cases: telematics and event-data-recorder downloads, surveillance and body-camera footage, and corporate records in trucking and premises disputes.

His formal training began with a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, followed by his J.D. from Cooley Law School, where his advocacy work earned Certificates of Merit (Book Awards) in Trial Skills, Pre-Trial Skills, Advocacy, and Contracts, a Leadership Achievement Award, leadership of the Moot Court Board in two national competitions and the Florida Robert Orseck Memorial Moot Court Competition, and a seat on the Mock Trial Board. He is admitted to The Florida Bar and the United States District Courts for the Northern, Middle, and Southern Districts of Florida, and he keeps an active continuing education practice in tort law, evidence, and trial advocacy — including close study of Florida’s 2023 tort reform amendments and how they shape proof of damages at trial.

Bahreini fits injury victims whose cases turn on hard evidence and insurer psychology: pedestrian and vehicle collisions, trucking wrecks where electronic data matters, negligent security claims, and catastrophic injury or wrongful death cases where the carrier is dug in.
