October 2025 Member Spotlight:
Jonathan Abrams

For our October spotlight, we’re proud to highlight Jonathan Abrams, Esq., an Assistant District Attorney in the Special Investigations and Prosecutions Bureau of the Erie County District Attorney’s Office.

Alumus of the University at Buffalo School of Law

After a successful career in business intelligence and information management, he began a career in the legal profession.

He is a 2021 graduate of the University at Buffalo School of Law, and he was admitted to the New York State Bar in February 2022. He is also licensed to practice law in the District of Columbia.

Dedicated Member of MBAWNY

The Minority Bar Association of Western New York appreciates his participation in our events and functions.

Notably, he served as Committee Co-Chair on the 2025 Dinner Committee for our Annual Dinner. 

Well-Rounded Professional History

Abrams has extensive experience in the banking industry. Additionally, his background in data and information management complements his knowledge and practice of law. “There are, arguably, commonalities and parallels connecting the two disciplines. The application of business rules and programming logic to arrive at suitable, supportable presentations of business information is analogous to the legal analysis required to arrive at legally justifiable conclusions arising from the intersections of law and fact,” says Abrams.

Abrams’ work experience and life history have given him an appreciation for the unique value that alternate points of view can bring, as well as the powerful synergies that can be created through collective work and vision management.

Abrams employs diversity as a framework and conduit for community engagement and professional development.
