History of the Firm

The Proskin Law Firm was established by Arnold Proskin in 1977. It’s first home was 41 State Street in Downtown Albany. In 1985 the practice moved to it’s current location in Loudonville, NY. Lisa began working at the firm as a Summer job at the age of 14, answering the phones.

She was able to witness the personal care each and every client received, and knew then she was going to pursue a career in the law. She is proud to be carrying-on the tradition established by her father nearly 50 years ago.

The grandmother apparently left money in trust for her grandchildren, but specified that they would not be eligible to receive the funds if they committed, were arrested for, or convicted of a serious crime.

The State Bar of California has announced that it will be looking at discipline, criminal history, and protest activity as part of its examination of character and fitness of students before they take the bar exam.

Officials of the Bar say they are examining the consequences of actions — was the person disciplined by the school? Arrested?…

I occasionally have people stop in or call the office because they need something notarized. Most of the time they want to explain their situation to me and don’t they are puzzled when I tell them it does not matter. When I notarize something, I’m simply stating that a person is who they claim they are and signed the document in question in my presence. That’s it.
If I don’t know them personally I must be presented with some form…
There are certain things everyone should do at least once a year. Included on this list: check/replace the batteries in your smoke detectors, check your insurance policies to make sure your coverage is accurate, and make sure everything is up to date on your vehicles.
But I can argue that the most important thing everyone needs to do annually is to review and update your…

It’s that time of year when people move to the warmer locations, and many need to determine a home state. Typically, this determination has more to do with income tax than anything else. As such, I strongly recommend that if you’re in this situation you contact an accountant to make sure you do things correctly – with no unintended…

A Texas jury awarded a verdict of $116 million to victims of a car accident that took place during an ice storm. A commercial truck slid on an icy road and crossed the median, causing a major crash. I remember seeing video of the horrible pile up on the news.
The verdict is now being appealed to the Texas Supreme Court. There are several standard grounds for appeal…
