Keliann M. Argy (formerly Elniski), Esq., LL.M., attended the University of Southern California. She graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from the University’s prestigious Cinema-Television school where she concentrated on Critical Studies, where she harnessed her distinctive and artful writing skills. Thereafter, Ms. Argy returned home to pursue a Masters in English and Media Studies at the State University of New York at Buffalo, graduating summa cum laude, and receiving recognition for research on redistricting presented at the National Political Science Convention as well as authoring the published manuscript ‘A Walk Street Named Clubhouse’.
Ms. Argy received her J.D. from the University of Pittsburgh where she was a recipient of the Owens Fellowship and Teplitz Scholarship award. While in law school, Ms. Argy also represented her family in a business venture, jointly developing a school bus safety product with a leading German fuel-cell technology company. Ms. Argy secured exclusive distribution rights to the US market during her second year of law school together with advancing her expertise in breath analysis by completing and receiving certification from the Indiana University Center for Studies of Law in Action, Alcohol, Drugs and Highway Safety: Testing, Research and Litigation.

Ms. Argy continued to work in her family-owned businesses, where she also gained significant experience in all types of business-related issues including, extensively, in the area of shareholder and complex contract disputes.

She graduated with Honors and was the Executive Editor of the Buffalo Criminal Law Review. Her work included Appellate Brief writing for the Orleans County District Attorney’s Office.
