About Jennifer V
Jennifer V Abelaj balances credentials in both law and accounting. She earned her J.D. from St. John’s University School of Law after completing a B.S. at Fordham University. She also holds certification as a Certified Public Accountant from the New York State Education Department, a qualification she brings to her legal work.
After law school she was admitted to practice in New York and New Jersey. Those dual admissions have allowed her to work on matters that cross state lines and involve overlapping regulatory frameworks. Her combination of bar admissions and CPA certification places her at an intersection of legal and financial practice.
Her CPA credential informs how she approaches legal problems that involve financial detail. She often addresses tax, accounting and regulatory questions as part of broader legal matters. Colleagues say she reads financial statements and tax records with the fluency of an accountant and then frames the issues in legal terms for clients and courts.
Abelaj is active in several professional organizations. She holds membership in the New York Women’s Bar Association and the New York State Bar Association, and she is a member of the New Jersey State Bar. Those memberships keep her connected to developments in both states and to networks of lawyers who practice in overlapping fields.
Her practice has taken place in both transactional and advisory settings. She advises clients on matters that require careful attention to both legal risk and financial detail. When cases or corporate matters call for an accountant’s eye, she draws on her CPA training to examine records, prepare analyses and assist in settlement discussions or negotiations.
Jennifer V Abelaj is currently part of the team at Davidoff Hutcher & Citron LLP. At that firm she works alongside lawyers who handle corporate, commercial and regulatory matters, applying her combined legal and accounting background to client work. She continues to maintain her New York and New Jersey licenses while participating in bar and professional associations that reflect her dual interests.
She currently practices at Davidoff Hutcher & Citron LLP, where her work centers on legal matters that involve financial, tax and regulatory components.
