About V Jonas
V Jonas Urba earned his law degree from Valparaiso University School of Law, receiving a J.D. in 1988. He completed his undergraduate studies at Indiana University Bloomington, where he took courses in business administration, marketing and finance and earned a B.S. in 1980. Those academic years laid a practical groundwork that would inform his later practice in New York.
Urba’s career has been steady and focused. He has been active in New York legal circles and is associated with several bar and professional organizations. In 2014 he became a founding member of Urba Law PLLC, which earlier operated as Urba Law Office. That move formalized a small, client-centered practice and provided a base from which he has taken on civil matters in state courts.
Professional memberships have been a throughline. He has been part of the New York State Bar Association since 2011 and joined the New York City Bar Association’s Small Law Office section in 2012. He has been involved with the National Employment Lawyers Association at different times: a long stretch from 1997 through 2022 on the national level and more recently as a member of the New York chapter beginning in 2014. Those affiliations reflect steady engagement with peer groups that address employment issues, litigation developments and practice management for small firms.
In practice Urba handles employment-law matters and related civil litigation in New York. He represents clients in disputes that commonly arise from workplace relationships. He has experience preparing pleadings, managing discovery and handling courtroom proceedings when cases proceed to trial. His work combines courtroom work with counseling clients on strategies to address disputes before they escalate.
Colleagues and clients see him as a lawyer who prefers directness and clarity in legal matters. He maintains a small-office approach to practice, which allows him to oversee cases personally rather than delegate major tasks. That style shapes how his firm operates and how he allocates time across client matters.
Today he practices from Urba Law PLLC in New York. He remains active in local and state bar organizations and in professional employment-law groups. His current practice focuses on employment-law disputes and civil litigation in New York.
