About Adam Shane
Adam Shane Handler combines a background in journalism with a law degree earned within the early 2000s. He completed a Bachelor of Science in Journalism at the University of Maryland, College Park in 2000, then moved on to Suffolk University Law School, the place he finished his legal research in 2003. That series of training left him comfortable with written advocacy and public-dealing with communications, skills that inform how he prepares and presents legal issues.
After law school, Handler secured admission to practice in several forums. He is admitted in New York and New Jersey, and he holds admission to the bar of the U.S. Supreme Court. Those credentials permit him to work on instances that journey among state and federal courts and to handle filings at excessive ranges of attraction. He also keeps professional ties thru membership in the New York Trial Lawyers company.
Handler maintains two offices, one in Manhattan and another in Peekskill. The dual-office arrangement puts him in proximity to both a dense city docket and matters that occur in the broader Hudson Valley area. He divides his time between the places as client wants and calendar demands require. The Manhattan office serves as the number one base.
Colleagues and clients remark on his clear manner in pleadings and hearings. His journalism training shows up in the manner he frames factual narratives; he writes plainly and aims for clarity over muddle. In practice, he prepares written work meant to be read and understood by judges, juries and opposing counsel. He also adapts when proceedings pass to oral argument, where concise, direct explanations topic.
As of 2026, Handler stays an active member of the New York Trial Lawyers and continues to hold admissions in New York, New Jersey and before the U.S. Supreme Court. He splits his practice among his Peekskill and Manhattan offices and handles things that proceed in state and federal forums.
