About Stephanie Ann
Stephanie Ann Selloni pursued a traditional path into law after an undergraduate degree in political science. She earned a B.A. from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1996 and later returned to study law, receiving her J.D. from Touro College in 2007. Those academic years set the stage for a career concentrated in New York courts.
Her practical training began while she was still in law school. In 2004 she worked as a legal intern in the Queens County District Attorney’s Office, gaining exposure to prosecution practice and courtroom procedure. She spent 2005 as a law clerk at Berkman, Henoch, Peterson & Peddy, P.C., where she handled research and drafting assignments. In 2006 she worked as a paralegal for James G. Preston, Esq., performing case preparation and support tasks that rounded out her pre-bar experience.
After earning her law degree, Selloni moved into attorney roles. In 2008 she joined the Nassau County Legal Aid Society, representing clients who could not afford private counsel. The following year she opened the Law Office of Stephanie Selloni. That step established her as an independent practitioner operating in the Nassau County area and serving people who need legal representation in criminal matters.
Selloni has been active in local and statewide legal organizations since about 2009. She holds membership in the Nassau County Bar Association and the Nassau County Criminal Courts Bar Association. She is also a member of the New York State Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and participates on the Nassau County Criminal Courts Law and Procedure Committee. Those affiliations reflect regular contact with colleagues who practice in criminal courts and legal aid settings.
Her courtroom work arises from the variety of roles she has held. Time spent at the district attorney’s office and at legal aid provided exposure to both sides of criminal practice. As a solo practitioner, she handles arraignments, hearings and representation through trial and plea negotiation when that is an option. She appears in county courts where her clients’ matters are set, and she manages the logistical and strategic work of representing individuals charged with criminal offenses.
Colleagues describe her as a steady presence in local criminal courts. She balances courtroom appearances with the paperwork and client counseling that any small-firm criminal practice requires. She maintains an active practice in New York and continues to participate in bar activities that keep her connected to developments in criminal procedure and local court practice.
She currently concentrates her practice on criminal defense and related matters.
