About Robert
Robert Gitelman trained at Brooklyn Law School, where he earned his J.D. The New York jurisdiction is where he is licensed to practice. His legal education provided the foundation for a career spent practicing in that state.
He is a partner at Napoli Shkolnik PLLC. In that role he manages matters for clients, oversees case preparation and participates in both pretrial and negotiation work. As a partner he also works on strategy and supervises more junior lawyers at the firm. His responsibilities include client counseling, managing litigation calendars and coordinating with co-counsel and outside experts.
Colleagues say Gitelman brings a steady, methodical approach to casework. He attends court appearances, prepares filings and focuses on clear communication with clients. He has maintained active professional involvement for many years, and he has held memberships in professional associations since 2005 while continuing to hold current memberships today.
His classroom training at Brooklyn Law School underpins the day-to-day practice. That education included study of core subjects common to trial and appellate practice. The transition from law student to partner has included practical tasks such as drafting pleadings and negotiating resolutions. He combines that background with the procedural and substantive demands of practice in New York.
At Napoli Shkolnik PLLC he works alongside a team that handles a range of matters that come before state courts. He is based at the firm and participates in its case management and client service efforts. He continues to practice law in New York and represents clients in matters before the state’s courts.
