About Kevin R.
Kevin R. Lelonek built a foundation in the liberal arts and returned to Buffalo to combine law and business studies. He earned a B.A. from the State University of New York College at Brockport in 2012. Four years later he completed both a Juris Doctor at SUNY Buffalo Law School and an MBA from the State University of New York - Buffalo in 2016.
Those credentials inform how he approaches matters. The combination of legal training and graduate business coursework shaped his analytical tools. He brings both legal reasoning and business context to client matters, an approach that can influence case strategy and transactional work.
Lelonek is admitted to practice in New York. Since finishing law school he has practiced in that jurisdiction and is listed at Gross Shuman P.C. in New York. He has worked on matters handled out of that office and has been part of teams responding to client needs across the state. Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparing filings and attentive in client meetings.
His day-to-day work draws on the overlap between law and business. He prepares documents, meets with clients to clarify objectives, and assists in negotiating solutions when disputes arise. He also conducts legal research and prepares memoranda that support more senior attorneys’ strategy decisions. Those tasks reflect the practical mix of courtroom preparation and transactional diligence that characterizes the firm’s work.
Outside of casework he maintains connections to professional circles in New York. He participates in firm matters that require coordination across practice groups and often contributes to internal training and case planning. He keeps up with developments in state law that affect his clients and the firm’s broader practice areas.
Colleges and graduate school years mark milestones in his development. The B.A. in 2012 and the dual J.D. and MBA in 2016 set the course for a practice centered in New York. He is currently a practicing attorney at Gross Shuman P.C., where his practice focuses on matters arising under New York law.
