About Mary Ellen
Mary Ellen Duffy earned a Bachelor of Science from New York University before returning to the city for her legal education at Fordham University School of Law. She completed her J.D. at Fordham and went on to practice law in New York. Her academic background provided a foundation for a career centered on litigation and advocacy in the New York courts.
Duffy is a partner at Duffy & Duffy, PLLC, where she has built a steady practice representing clients in state matters. She is admitted to practice in New York and has maintained an active presence in the local legal community. Her role as partner involves case management, client counseling, and courtroom work when litigation proceeds to trial.

She maintains membership in a number of professional organizations that reflect her practice interests. Those memberships include the New York State Trial Lawyers Association and the American Association for Justice. Locally, she belongs to the Nassau County Bar Association and the Queens County Women’s Bar Association. Within the Nassau County Bar Association, she is active on both the Women in the Courts Committee and the Medical Malpractice Committee. These committee roles have kept her engaged with colleagues on issues affecting court practice and medical-liability matters in the region.
Throughout her career Duffy has remained connected to trial practice and civil litigation through participation in bar activities and committee work. That involvement has informed her courtroom work and kept her current on developments in tort law and trial procedure. She continues to serve as a partner at Duffy & Duffy, PLLC, practicing in New York and concentrates her practice on medical malpractice and related civil litigation matters.
