About Steven M.
Steven M. Yurkonis earned his J.D. from Syracuse University College of Law in 2018 after completing undergraduate research in psychology and business at Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania in 2013. He moved through law school classrooms and realistic placements at some point of a time when technological know-how began reshaping evidence and discovery. That mix of legal training and a curiosity in technical processes has shaped his early profession.
While nevertheless in law program, Yurkonis served as a legal fellow at the E-Discovery Institute in 2017. The fellowship positioned him in the center of debates over how courts and firms handle electronic data. He labored on tasks that explored records review workflows and the technical demanding situations that accompany large information units. The experience provided a hands-on view of how studies and procedure intersect in contemporary litigation help.
After graduation he joined O Connor Law. His title there combines lawyer and marketing director. He splits time among client work and managing the firm’s outreach. That twin position means he moves among written advocacy, legal studies, and the practicalities of communicating a company’s capabilities to prospective clients and referral sources.
Yurkonis holds a Professional Research Certification from LexisNexis. The credential underscores his facility with legal studies systems and his capacity to tug nuanced authority from databases. Those abilities help both the substantive work he does for clients and the content material he supports grow for the company’s communications.
He is admitted to practice in New York and Pennsylvania. Those admissions allow him to handle matters that cross state lines and to assist clients facing procedural or evidence-gathering process problems in either jurisdiction. His background in e-discovery work and research makes him a resource on duties that require each technical attention and legal analysis.
Colleagues describe him as practical and actual in day-to-day work. He prefers problem-solving that yields clear next steps. Today he practices with O Connor Law, the place he divides his time among legal proceedings support, e-discovery and legal studies duties, and overseeing the firm’s advertising and outreach efforts.
