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 is proud to be carrying-on the tradition established by her father nearly 50 years ago.
