About Jennifer P
Jennifer P Stergion pursued a path through social science into law. She earned a Bachelor of Science in clinical psychology in 1998 and followed that with a Master of Science in criminal justice in 2000, both from the State University of New York at Buffalo (Buffalo State College). She then completed her Juris Doctor at the State University of New York at Buffalo in 2004, where her legal studies included international law and civil litigation.
After law school, Stergion moved into legal practice in New York. Public records show she has practiced as a lawyer since 2008 under the name Jennifer P Stergion, Esq. She is licensed to practice in New York and has handled matters that require familiarity with both procedural and substantive aspects of civil litigation.
Her education in criminal justice and clinical psychology informs the way she approaches cases. That background can be helpful in matters that touch on behavioral health, credibility assessments or criminal-justice-related issues that arise in civil disputes. Stergion is also an accredited attorney with the Department of Veterans Affairs. That accreditation permits her to represent veterans before VA entities and to assist clients who need help navigating benefits and disability claims.
Throughout her career she has combined courtroom experience with administrative advocacy. She has worked on civil litigation matters and on claims before administrative bodies. The mix of litigation training and administrative accreditation positions her to handle contested claims and procedural hearings, as well as pre-litigation efforts to resolve disputes.
Since 2008 she has maintained a practice under her own name in New York. Her work continues to draw on her dual background in criminal justice and clinical psychology alongside her legal training in international law and civil litigation. She currently concentrates her practice on civil litigation and representing veterans in VA claims, and on matters where her criminal justice and clinical psychology training is relevant.
