Justin Blitz

Justin Blitz never set out to follow in his father’s footsteps — he arrived at law school fresh from the music business, convinced he’d negotiate record deals rather than jury verdicts. After a stint at Chris Blackwell’s label, he realized that “just contracts” couldn’t satisfy his gift for persuasion, so he sat for the bar exam and begged his dad for a shot at the family firm. Thrust into his first trial with nothing but a crummy closet office and three weeks to prepare, he faced down an owner in a negligent security case — and walked away with a $3.95 million verdict. That moment set him on a trajectory that today includes over 100 verdicts.

Frustrated by a partner’s betrayal and driven to protect his father’s legacy, Justin struck out on his own — launching Blitz Law Group with zero cases and no bankroll. He weathered years of grind, first cutting his teeth in Queens where he’d juggle three simultaneous trials under a merciless judge, then earning a referral check for $208 000 that he still recalls falling out of his chair to see. His perseverance paid off when, more than a decade later, he dusted off a long-dormant judgment and forced a $32 million landfill settlement—delayed justice, he notes, but justice nonetheless.
