About Robert
Robert Sullivan earned his law degree from St. John’s University School of Law in 1973. He completed his legal studies during a period of change in New York’s legal community. The classroom years at St. John’s laid the groundwork for a career spent largely within a single firm and on Long Island.
He first joined Sullivan Papain Block McGrath & Cannavo P.C. in 1972, at the very start of his professional life. That early association predates his formal graduation by a year and indicates he moved into practice while finishing his degree. Over the decades that followed he remained connected to the same firm name, working in roles that kept him rooted in local practice and firm-based work. His experience there stretches back to the early 1970s and reflects a long-term relationship with the firm.
Sullivan is admitted to practice in New York. He holds current memberships in professional associations, maintaining ties to the wider legal community through those organizations. He has established his practice presence on Long Island. His offices include a Garden City location and the offices of Sullivan Papain Block McGrath & Cannavo P.C. These addresses serve as the bases from which he meets clients, appears in court when required, and manages transactional work.
Colleagues and clients over the years have known him for steady work within the regional courts and administrative forums of New York. He has handled matters out of the firm’s Garden City office and out of the firm’s primary office. The combination of long tenure at a single firm and a local office presence has defined the practical contours of his practice. He currently practices at Sullivan Papain Block McGrath & Cannavo P.C., handling matters that arise in New York.
