About Elizabeth K.
Elizabeth K. Cassidy built a legal foundation across two disciplines before she ever set foot in a courtroom. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Government & Law and Geology from Lafayette College in 2001, then continued her studies at Pace University, receiving her J.D. in 2005. That combination of political and scientific study informs how she approaches problems: methodical, fact‑driven, and attentive to detail.
Her early professional steps were shaped by firm practice and clerking. In 2007 she served as a law clerk at McCullough, Goldberger & Staudt, LLP. The following year she joined Jacobowitz & Gubits, LLP as an associate. Those roles gave her hands‑on experience in firm operations and client matters, and exposed her to the day‑to‑day realities of representing clients within firm settings.
Cassidy is admitted to practice in both New York and New Jersey. She has maintained active ties to the bar and to local professional organizations since the late 2000s. She has been a member of the Orange County Bar Association and the New York State Bar Association since 2008. She also joined the Warwick Valley Chamber of Commerce in 2012, and that same year began serving as Recording Secretary of the Women’s Bar Association of Orange & Sullivan Counties, a position she continues to hold. Those affiliations reflect a sustained presence in the regional legal community and in local civic life.
In recent years she moved into a solo practice model. She operates The Law Office of Elizabeth K. Cassidy PLLC, maintaining an independent office that serves clients across the two states where she is licensed. Running a small firm requires juggling client work, case strategy, and the administrative tasks of practice management. Her background in both firm environments and clerkship work informs how she structures her office and advises clients.
Her career path shows a steady progression from legal study to practical work and then to independent practice. She balances professional association work alongside running her own office. She practices from The Law Office of Elizabeth K. Cassidy PLLC, serving clients in New York and New Jersey.
