Biography

Joseph Ranni is dedicated to protecting individual rights and helping clients achieve effective legal solutions. Since beginning his legal career in the New York City metro area in 1987, he has focused on employment and disability litigation in state and federal courts while also serving as a NYS Certified Nursing Home Ombudsman. Inspired by the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act in the 1990s, Mr. Ranni recognized a connection between disability and elder law. Guided by the principles of least restrictive living environments, self-facilitation, and reasonable accommodation, he shaped his practice around advocating for these rights, regardless of age, disability, or circumstance.

Admitted to practice law in New York, Florida, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, Mr. Ranni is also a former Presiding Justice for the Town of Chester, NY. His approach prioritizes client goals and future needs, focusing beyond disabilities to achieve tailored solutions. Recognized as a Top Attorney in Upstate New York and a Super Lawyer for professional achievement and peer recognition by Thomson-Reuters, he continues to build a reputation for excellence. Committed to his community, Mr. Ranni volunteers with non-profit committees, civic organizations, and advocacy groups, providing pro bono legal services across the region.
