About Jacob R.
Jacob R. Fleitman earned his J.D. from Albany Law School. He completed his legal education in upstate New York and went on to obtain admission to the bar in New York. That academic foundation shaped an early interest in courtroom procedure and the mechanics of state law.
He began his career practicing in New York, where he handled matters across state courts and before administrative bodies. His early years in practice included appearances in trial courts, preparing filings and motions, and advising clients on the practical steps needed to resolve disputes. Those tasks taught him how deadlines, evidence and courtroom protocol can alter the course of a case.
Fleitman’s day-to-day work has ranged from contested hearings to negotiated resolutions. He has drafted pleadings, managed discovery, and taken part in settlement discussions. In other matters he reviewed contracts and counseled clients about compliance obligations. He prefers clear, direct legal writing and practical planning that helps clients understand their options.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparing a case and attentive to procedural detail. He applies the rules of civil practice and administrative procedure with an eye toward efficiency. He is comfortable in contested settings but also spends time working behind the scenes to prevent litigation where possible.
Over time his practice has brought him into contact with a variety of clients, from individuals to small organizations. He handles intake, fact investigation and the drafting of key documents. He has navigated both short-term disputes and matters that require longer-term management and follow-up.
He maintains an active law license in New York and continues to practice there. He currently maintains an active practice in New York, handling matters in state courts and before administrative agencies.
