About Dennis Paul
Dennis Paul Harlow trained at SUNY Buffalo Law School, where he earned his Juris Doctor. His legal education centered on the skills that lawyers use every day: research, advocacy, and the drafting of court filings. He entered the practice prepared for the procedural demands of litigation and the careful structuring required in transactional work.
Licensed to practice in New York, Harlow has spent his professional life working in that jurisdiction. He has built a practice grounded in the state's rules and court procedures. Over time he has handled matters that require close attention to statutory detail and courtroom procedure.
Harlow is a lawyer at Lipsitz & Ponterio LLC. At the firm he represents clients in matters arising under New York law. His work includes counseling clients, preparing pleadings, and appearing in court when cases require litigation. He also participates in the research and drafting that underpin effective legal arguments.
His approach to cases is straightforward. He emphasizes clear legal writing, careful factual analysis and attention to deadlines. He aims to present arguments that judges and opposing counsel can understand quickly. In practice this means prioritizing organization and communication from the earliest client interview through resolution of a matter.
Colleagues describe him as a steady presence in case preparation. He often focuses on evidence gathering and briefing. That emphasis helps move matters toward disposition, whether by negotiated settlement or adjudication. He balances practical considerations, such as timing and cost, with a thorough reading of the law.
Outside of court filings and hearings, Harlow spends time staying current on developments in New York law. He reviews new decisions and legislative changes that could affect his clients. That ongoing study informs how he frames legal questions and advises people who rely on his counsel.
He joined Lipsitz & Ponterio LLC after completing law school and has continued to practice in New York. His current practice focuses on representing clients in matters across New York.
