Ms. Valenti has an active pro bono practice. In 2017, she led a team that submitted an amicus brief to the Supreme Court of Ohio on behalf of the Joyful Heart Foundation, an organization committed to healing, education and advocacy on behalf of victims of sexual assault.

In 2016, Ms. Valenti gained significant trial experience during a six-month secondment with the Kings County (Brooklyn) District Attorney’s Office, where she served as an assistant district attorney.

In other work with the Kings County District Attorney’s Office, Ms. Valenti successfully briefed and argued an appeal before the New York Supreme Court Appellate Division, Second Judicial Department, ensuring a criminal defendant convicted of robbery remained in prison.
Ms. Valenti also represented Merkos L’Inyonei Chinuch, the educational arm of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement of Orthodox Judaism, in a copyright infringement case filed in federal court in Brooklyn. Ms. Valenti co-authored a successful motion for summary judgment, securing judgment that Merkos did not infringe copyrights on religious texts.
