About Leilani J.
Leilani J. Rodriguez earned a Bachelor of Arts from the State University of New York at Albany in 2001 and a Juris Doctor from the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University in 2004. She finished law school in the early 2000s during a period of change in the profession. The timeline placed her among a generation of attorneys who entered practice as technology and court procedures began to shift.
She is admitted to practice in both New York and New Jersey, and she has been active in professional circles since the mid-2000s. Her membership in the New York State Bar Association dates to 2005 and continues to the present. That affiliation has kept her connected to statewide developments in law and policy, and it has provided a steady forum for continuing legal education.
Rodriguez also holds an officer position in the Puerto Rican Bar Association. She participates in that organization while maintaining membership in the Mid-Hudson Women’s Bar Association. Those ties reflect a practice that engages with both community-focused and regional professional groups. Her involvement in bar organizations has been a persistent feature of her career profile.
She practices at Sholes Miller Rodriguez & Brown, PLLC. At the firm she works on matters that arise under the laws of the two states where she is licensed. Her experience spans courtroom work, client counseling and case preparation, though the specific mix of assignments varies with each matter. Colleagues and clients encounter a practitioner who balances procedural detail with an attention to deadlines and court requirements.
Rodriguez’s academic background and steady engagement with bar associations inform how she approaches cases. She has maintained ties to legal communities in the Mid-Hudson region and across New York while also practicing in New Jersey. Her current practice focuses on legal matters in New York and New Jersey.
