About Robert J.
Robert J. Frisenda has practiced in New York's courts for decades after completing his legal education in the mid-1970s. He finished his undergraduate studies at Manhattan College in 1971 and earned his law degree from New York Law School in 1976. Those formative years laid the groundwork for a long career that spans both state and federal practice.
He is admitted to practice in New York and in the U.S. Southern District of New York. Over time Frisenda has focused his work on matters that arise in those forums, handling cases that require familiarity with both state procedure and federal practice. His admissions allow him to appear in varied trial and motion settings in Manhattan and beyond.
Frisenda serves as Of Counsel at Clark, Gagliardi & Miller. In that role he provides senior counsel on litigation matters, drawing on years of courtroom experience and case preparation. Colleagues describe his contribution as steady and practical: he often handles complex filings, advises on litigation strategy, and assists in trial readiness.
Outside the office Frisenda maintains active professional ties. He is a member of the New York State Bar Association and belongs to the American Board of Trial Advocates. That combination of affiliations reflects an engagement with both the broader legal community and a circle of trial practitioners who focus on courtroom work.
Throughout his career Frisenda has balanced courtroom responsibilities with advisory tasks. He works on pretrial motions, discovery disputes, and trial preparation. He routinely collaborates with trial teams and provides guidance on evidentiary and procedural questions. His work tends toward cases that require an understanding of how state and federal rules intersect, and he is frequently consulted on the tactical aspects of litigation.
Frisenda's practice today remains centered on litigation in New York. He continues to advise clients and counsel teams at Clark, Gagliardi & Miller, bringing institutional knowledge of the local courts and federal district practice. His current practice focuses on litigation matters in New York and the U.S. Southern District of New York.
