About Alexander Z.
Alexander Z. Lonstein earned his J.D. from New York Law School in 2015 after completing an undergraduate degree in political science at Virginia Tech in 2011. He moved from the study of government into the practice of law at a time when courts and agencies were absorbing rapid change. The academic path gave him grounding in legal reasoning and public affairs, and he began building a practice shortly after finishing law school.
He is licensed to practice in New York, New Jersey and Alaska. Those admissions shape the geographic reach of his work. He is a current member of both the New York State Bar and the New Jersey State Bar. He founded The Law Offices of Alexander Lonstein in 2020 and has led that firm since. Opening his own office allowed him to set the tone for client interaction and case handling on his own terms.
Lonstein’s early years in practice included courtroom appearances and filings in multiple state jurisdictions. He has handled matters that require coordination across state lines, which often involves differing procedural rules and local practices. He has navigated those differences on behalf of individuals and organizations that need counsel spanning more than one legal system.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparing for hearings and deliberate in written advocacy. He approaches a file by breaking down complex problems into discrete tasks. That approach can be useful in cases that demand attention to timelines and evidence. He has developed experience in drafting pleadings, motions and client agreements, and in presenting arguments before judges and administrative panels.
Outside of direct casework, Lonstein has maintained active bar memberships. He has attended continuing legal education programs to keep current on developments affecting practice in the states where he is admitted. Those efforts help him adapt to evolving procedural and substantive rules.
Clients who engage his firm can expect a lawyer who emphasizes preparation and clear communication. The office handles intake, case management and representation for matters that arise within the admitted jurisdictions. He balances court work and client counseling, aiming to present options and likely outcomes.
He currently practices at The Law Offices of Alexander Lonstein, representing clients in legal matters across New York, New Jersey and Alaska.
