Boris Grushko

Boris Grushko is a trial lawyer based in Brooklyn, New York, where he represents injured clients in personal injury matters at Karasik Law Group, P.C. A former professional soccer player and United States Marine, he brings the discipline, perseverance, and attention to detail of both pursuits to his legal practice.

Boris Grushko’s path to the law began far from any courtroom. He grew up in Ukraine, where he was a talented soccer player and competed at the professional level until a meniscus injury ended his athletic career at the age of seventeen. That same year he moved to the United States, arriving with little command of English and learning the language over months of daily effort while working weekend shifts as a busboy and attending community college.

Seeking discipline and direction, Grushko enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, where he served for nearly four years. The experience shaped him profoundly, instilling the perseverance, organization, and leadership that would later define his approach to legal work. He credits his military service with teaching him to prepare methodically, to stay composed under pressure, and to keep going in the face of setbacks.

Grushko was drawn to the law in large part by his sister, an accomplished tax attorney who served as a mentor and role model after he settled in the United States. After preparing for the LSAT and completing law school, he explored several areas of practice, including internships in criminal prosecution and criminal defense. He found his footing in personal injury law while working for Robert Marcus, a veteran solo practitioner who became an important mentor and from whom he learned the fundamentals of plaintiff-side injury work.

He went on to gain further experience at a personal injury firm in Queens while preparing for the bar examination, and he now practices at Karasik Law Group, P.C., a Brooklyn, New York firm that represents injured clients across the five boroughs of New York City and New Jersey. Grushko passed the New York State bar examination and is awaiting admission to the New York bar. His early courtroom appearances, including matters in small claims court, taught him to adapt his strategy to the realities of each proceeding and to learn as much from difficult outcomes as from favorable ones.

As a New York trial lawyer, Grushko approaches his practice with an emphasis on care, diligence, and genuine connection with the people he represents. He describes an ability to find common ground with almost anyone, whether a client, a colleague, or a judge, and he attributes much of his professional discipline to the habits he formed in the Marine Corps. Having built a life in the United States from an uncertain start, he brings to his work a deep appreciation for the opportunities his adopted country afforded him and a commitment to advocating diligently on behalf of those who have been injured.
