Leona Krasner - Experienced Lawyer in New York

My Legal and Educational JourneyI come from Brooklyn and pursued studies in Politics and Psychology at the College of Arts and Sciences at New York University, where I graduated with honors. I then obtained my Juris Doctorate from Washington Lee University School of Law, followed by a Master’s of Business Administration from the Stern School of Business at New York University.My Experience in the Legal FieldMy legal career has been primarily focused on litigation. I previously served as an Assistant Attorney General of New York, representing the state and its employees, including those from the New York State Department of Corrections and New York State Park Police. Following that role, I worked as a Litigation Consultant for various international law firms, contributing to pre-trial teams in preparing complex cases in international finance, securities regulation, antitrust, and regulatory matters for trial or settlement.Establishing My Family Law PracticeI made the decision to establish my own family law firm to provide personalized assistance to clients and truly impact their lives. I firmly believe that family is paramount. Handling tasks such as preparing prenuptial agreements, managing divorces, addressing child-related issues like custody, visitation, child support, and paternity, as well as handling restraining order matters through litigation or settlement, brings me immense fulfillment each day.Professional AffiliationsI currently hold the position of Chair of Communications for the Women In Law Section of the New York State Bar Association. Additionally, I am a member of the Executive Committee of the Young Lawyer’s Section of the New York State Bar Association and contribute to the Events Committee of the New York Women’s Bar Association. I am also an active member of both the New York City Bar Association and the New Jersey State Bar Association.Personal PursuitsWhen I am not engaged in legal practice or guiding my exceptional team, I dedicate my time to tutoring students through my tutoring company, Krasner Review, LLC. Furthermore, I organize concerts for children via my nonprofit organization, Tunes for Tots & Teens, and derive great joy from this endeavor.
