About Alec
Alec Borenstein earned a B.A. in English from Columbia University in 2002 and a J.D. from Loyola Law School, Los Angeles in 2007. He built his academic foundation in two different cities and carried that breadth into his legal career. Those degrees sit at the start of a steady professional path that led him into private practice in the Northeast.
Borenstein is admitted to practice in New York and New Jersey. He is a partner at Borenstein, McConnell & Calpin, P.C., where he shares leadership responsibilities and guides case strategy. Colleagues describe him as methodical in how he prepares files and deliberate in courtroom settings. He works from the firm’s Lebanon and Springfield offices and manages matters that span both jurisdictions.
At the firm, Borenstein handles matters that require navigation of state rules and procedures in both New York and New Jersey. He regularly appears in state courts and coordinates filings across offices. His role as partner includes supervising associates, coordinating client communication, and participating in the firm’s decision-making on case acceptance and litigation strategy. He maintains a client-facing practice while also attending to the administrative and mentoring duties that partnership entails.
Clients and peers note that Borenstein’s approach is direct. He sets clear expectations, outlines practical steps, and keeps teams aligned on deadlines. He has experience drafting pleadings, preparing witnesses, and arguing motions. He balances courtroom responsibilities with office leadership duties, which often requires shifting quickly between trial preparation and client meetings.
Outside the courtroom, Borenstein contributes to the firm’s operations. He takes part in planning for office coverage between the Lebanon and Springfield locations. That logistical work helps ensure continuity for clients who have matters that cross county or state lines. He also invests time in developing younger lawyers at the firm, overseeing research assignments and offering feedback on written work.
Alec Borenstein continues to practice through Borenstein, McConnell & Calpin, P.C., working from the firm’s Lebanon and Springfield offices. His current practice focuses on representing clients in matters in New York and New Jersey.
