About Alex
Alex Kononenko built a legal path that crosses continents. He began his formal legal education in Ukraine, earning a J.D. from Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs in 2008. Several years later he pursued advanced study in the United States and received an LL.M. from The Ohio State University Michael E. Moritz College of Law in 2015.
Those academic steps preceded admission to practice in multiple jurisdictions. He is admitted to the bar in New York and is authorized to appear before the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and the U.S. District Court for the District of California. Kononenko holds membership in the American Immigration Lawyers Association and joined the New York State Bar Association in 2020, signaling sustained professional engagement with both national and state-level legal communities.
Kononenko’s career has included work at Modern Law Group, P.C., where he serves as a lawyer. At the firm he has handled matters that require navigation of federal courts and immigration procedures. His practice blends courtroom filings and regulatory work, and it calls for steady attention to changing federal and state rules.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparing filings and attentive when handling client interviews. He has worked on cases that involve federal appellate procedure and district court litigation, which requires careful briefing and adherence to procedural deadlines. His background in two different legal systems has informed how he frames complex factual narratives for judges and agency officers.
Membership in professional organizations has been a regular part of his practice life. His AILA membership puts him in contact with peers who focus on immigration law, while the New York State Bar Association connection keeps him engaged with developments in state practice and policy. Those memberships also provide forums for continuing legal education and peer review.
Kononenko’s academic record and court admissions enable him to operate across state and federal venues. He maintains a practice at Modern Law Group, P.C., where he handles matters that require knowledge of immigration processes and federal litigation procedures. His current practice concentrates on immigration matters and federal litigation before the Ninth Circuit and the U.S. District Court for the District of California.
