In the past few years, alone, he has tried cases involving murder, rape, robbery, DWI, identity theft, burglary, weapons possession, gang assault, perjury, arson, forgery, child internet pornography possession and distribution, drug possession and sale and enterprise corruption. From his office in Newburgh, Jim has traveled throughout New York State defending criminal charges in many of the County and local courts. He has defended numerous charges in federal court also - both in New York and elsewhere, including the District of Columbia.Prior to attending law school (Brooklyn Law School, 1977-80), Jim was a U.S. Naval officer, probation officer and drug abuse counselor. He served as an Assistant District Attorney in New York County and has practiced from an office in the Hudson Valley since 1985. He graduated from the University at Albany in 1970 where he played intercollegiate basketball and lacrosse and was the sport editor of the twice weekly school newspaper.
