Attorney Information
Overview
Omid S. Irani is a criminal defense attorney who represents individuals facing serious charges in New Jersey and New York. He handles all phases of criminal matters from investigation and arrest through motion practice, trial, and appeal and is known for his strategic, detail-oriented approach to complex and high-stakes cases. Mr. Irani regularly appears in Municipal and Superior courts where he defends clients in matters involving sex offenses, drug charges, firearms and weapons offenses, assault and other violent crimes, as well as theft and property-related offenses. He also has extensive experience representing clients in domestic violence proceedings, including Final Restraining Order hearings, and in complex weapons forfeiture matters, where he has successfully secured favorable outcomes.
Prior to entering private practice, Mr. Irani served as a law clerk to the Honorable Sohail Mohammed, P.J.Cr., in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Passaic Vicinage. In that role, he gained valuable insight into criminal trial practice, judicial decision-making, and the inner workings of the Superior Court. That experience continues to inform his approach to defending clients in criminal cases throughout New Jersey.
Mr. Irani is deeply involved in the legal community. He is the Immediate Past President and Trustee of the Young Lawyers Division of the Bergen County Bar Association, where he co-chairs multiple committees and regularly presents continuing legal education programs. He also serves as Chairman of the Iranian American Bar Association Foundation, a national organization dedicated to advancing the professional development of attorneys and he previously served on the Executive Board of the Iranian American Bar Association.
Mr. Irani earned his Juris Doctor from Seton Hall University School of Law, where he was a published member of the Seton Hall Legislative Journal. He remains active with the law school as a member of its G.O.L.D. alumni committee, which fosters connections among recent graduates. He received his B.A. in Political Science, with a double minor in History and Middle Eastern Studies, from Seton Hall University, becoming the first student in the university’s history to graduate with that combination of studies.
In addition to his work as a New Jersey criminal defense attorney, Mr. Irani serves in an appointed capacity in local government and is actively involved in community service and outreach. He frequently appears in media interviews to provide legal and policy insight on issues of public importance involving national and international affairs. He is also committed to mentoring future advocates, volunteering annually as a judge for the New Jersey State Bar Foundation’s Vincent J. Apruzzese High School Mock Trial Competition, the Princeton University Moot Court Competition and the American Mock Trial Association.
Mr. Irani is fluent in Persian (Farsi).
