About Roman J.
Roman J. Shakh trained as a historian before turning to law. He earned a B.A. in history from the City University of New York, Queens College in 2005. He went on to St. John’s University School of Law and received his J.D. in 2008.

Since 2019 he has also been listed with the Suffolk County Bar Association. Those memberships have shaped his professional network and kept him engaged with developments in litigation practice and civil procedure at the state level.
Colleagues and clients describe him as methodical. He prepares cases in stages. He can move from client intake to discovery and motion practice without skipping procedural steps. His daily work has included courtroom appearances in New York and Connecticut courts and the negotiation of settlements where appropriate. He maintains his practice under the name Roman J. Shakh, Esq., and operates from offices bearing that title.
