About Dmitriy
Dmitriy Shakhnevich earned his J.D. from New York Law School. He trained in a city of competing courts and dense regulation. The degree placed him among lawyers licensed to practice in two states and set the stage for a small, state-focused practice.
He is admitted to the bars of New York and New Jersey. Over time he established his own office and now serves as the managing member of The Law Office of Dmitriy Shakhnevich. The firm maintains a main office and two by-appointment satellite locations: one in Brooklyn and another in New Jersey. Those satellite offices are arranged for scheduled consultations rather than walk-in traffic.
His professional path has been centered on practicing in jurisdictions that share many clients and legal issues. That geography shapes how he approaches matters: cross-border awareness, the procedural differences between neighboring courts, and an eye toward practical solutions that operate under both New York and New Jersey law. He works on matters that bring the two systems into play and tailors attention to where a client's concerns sit in either state.
Colleagues and clients describe his work rhythm as hands-on. He manages case work out of his office and coordinates appointments in Brooklyn or New Jersey when situations call for it. The structure keeps client contact direct. It also makes transitions between filings, appearances and negotiations simpler when cases cross state lines.
He has built a practice that is compact rather than sprawling. The firm’s size allows him to be involved in day-to-day case management and client conversations. That involvement includes running the office and organizing how work is handled across the three locations. It also means clients who need scheduled meetings can use the Brooklyn or New Jersey offices by appointment.
Outside of daily practice, his background at New York Law School remains a touchstone. The school’s emphasis on urban legal issues and practical skills aligns with the way he approaches cases today. He balances the procedural demands of two state systems and the practical needs of clients who operate in both markets.
He currently practices law through The Law Office of Dmitriy Shakhnevich, serving clients in New York and New Jersey.
