MEET ALEXANDER R. KARANA
Alexander R. Karana is an attorney, business owner, and community leader based in Metro Detroit.
Engineer by training.
Attorney by profession.
Entrepreneur by instinct.
I earned a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Michigan State University in 2013 and began my career in automotive engineering and technical sales. That work brought me into international teams, manufacturing programs, and the practical decisions behind a business.
In 2020, I earned my J.D. from UIC John Marshall Law School with a concentration in intellectual property law and a patent track. Today, I represent individuals and businesses in commercial litigation, employment matters and commercial defense, alongside my work in intellectual property and corporate law. My practice includes breach of contract enforcement and collections.
Outside the office, I co-own Stacks & Cordials and serve as president of the Chaldean American Bar Association. My Chaldean heritage is central to that story. My interests include hockey, golf, travel, and piano. The variety is part of who I am.
