About Seni
Biography
Seni Popat is a personal injury attorney and founder of the Law Office of Seni Popat, P.C., with more than 15 years of experience fighting for injured New Yorkers in courtrooms across the state. A Queens native who has built his practice in the communities he grew up in, Seni has argued before judges at trial, at arbitrations, at settlement conferences, and in both state and federal court hearings — including the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York.
His results speak for themselves: over $30 million recovered for clients, including a $2.1 million verdict in a motor vehicle accident, $1.7 million in a commercial auto case, and $1.2 million for a rideshare accident victim. These outcomes reflect a trial-ready approach — every case is prepared as if it's going before a jury, which is what forces insurance companies to make serious offers rather than lowball ones.
Seni is known among clients and colleagues alike as a fierce advocate who is genuinely invested in the people he represents. He handles each case personally, from the first call through final resolution — no handoffs to paralegals, no losing track of who you are.
Selected to Super Lawyers every year from 2016 through 2025 and a lifetime member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, Seni brings peer-recognized excellence to every case he takes on.

Very Glad we found Senit Popat
Never in a million year, we ever thought to be in this legal situation. That debt collectors would pop up in our life and demand a HUGE debt payment by mail. After refreshing our memory, it was from an online game (work) earnings we got, back in 2010. Yes in the Middle of Pandemic ...
