About Jeffrey W.
Jeffrey W. Plaza earned his law degree from Fordham University after completing an undergraduate degree at Seton Hall University. His time at Fordham placed him in a rigorous academic environment and exposed him to New York practice realities. The earlier years at Seton Hall provided a foundation in the liberal arts and shaped his approach to legal problem solving.
After law school, Plaza gained admission to practice in both New York and New Jersey. Those dual admissions have defined much of his career, allowing him to handle matters that cross state lines and to represent clients in courts and administrative settings in both jurisdictions. He built his practice within a regional firm environment and became part of Ehrlich, Petriello, Gudin & Plaza, Lawyers at Law, where his surname appears alongside the firm name.
At the firm, Plaza works alongside colleagues across multiple offices. He participates in client counseling, prepares legal filings, and engages in negotiations on behalf of individuals and businesses. Colleagues describe him as pragmatic in approach; he tends to break complex issues down into concrete steps and to prioritize clear options for clients.
Plaza’s practice draws on his admissions to the New York and New Jersey bars. That standing permits him to take on matters on either side of the Hudson and to advise clients whose legal needs span the two states. He has handled filings in state courts and in administrative forums, and he regularly coordinates filings and procedural strategy when matters require action in both jurisdictions.
Today Plaza continues to practice at Ehrlich, Petriello, Gudin & Plaza, Lawyers at Law. He divides his time among the firm’s offices and manages a docket of matters that require counsel in New York and New Jersey. His current practice focuses on handling legal matters for clients across both states.
