About Laura
Laura Bellini entered the law world after a steady academic path at Hofstra University. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Journalism in 2017 and continued at the Maurice A. Deane School of Law, receiving her J.D. in 2020. Those years shaped how she approaches facts, argument and the business side of legal practice.
Bellini combined journalistic instincts with legal training. At Hofstra she studied how to frame questions and how to gather evidence that holds up under scrutiny. Law school sharpened those skills. Her coursework and clinic experiences gave her regular exposure to research, brief writing and courtroom procedure.
After law school she moved into private practice. In 2021 she joined Phillips & Associates, Lawyers at Law, PLLC as an associate. She is licensed to practice in New York and has spent the last several years working on matters that require close attention to procedure and client communication. Colleagues describe her as methodical and careful in preparing file materials.
Her work day often involves drafting pleadings and motions, conducting legal research and preparing clients for hearings. She handles discovery and assists in trial preparation when cases advance. Bellini also participates in client meetings, helping to translate legal options into clear next steps. The combination of investigative instincts from her undergraduate studies and the technical training from law school informs how she builds a case file and presents options to clients.
At Phillips & Associates she contributes as part of a team that manages varied caseloads. Since joining the firm she has taken on responsibilities that include motion practice, managing document production and supporting settlement discussions. She keeps a steady focus on fundamentals: deadlines, accurate filings and thorough preparation for court events. Her approach is practical and geared toward getting work done efficiently.
Outside courtroom tasks she continues to refine courtroom skills and stays engaged with developments in New York practice and procedure. As of 2026 she remains an associate at Phillips & Associates, Lawyers at Law, PLLC, practicing in New York and handling client representation, litigation support and transactional drafting as part of her current practice focus.
