Strength and Compassion.
Jeff has been an attorney for almost a decade. He had the honor of serving our community as an Assistant District Attorney for most of his career. He was charged with a simple but profound task; to do justice. To always do the right thing, no matter the consequence or perception. He prosecuted some of the most high-profile cases in Onondaga County. He handled thousands of criminal matters, from petit offenses to attempted murder cases.
Jeff was a violent felony prosecutor, where he worked to slow the proliferation of gang violence in the City of Syracuse. He was a narcotics prosecutor, where he fought the war against heroin and other drugs. But Jeff’s true passion was holding child predators to account for the most depraved acts imaginable. He became the Deputy Bureau Chief of the Special Victim’s Unit, where he worked with the McMahon-Ryan Child Advocacy Center, Vera House and local law enforcement agencies to ensure that the most violent predators in this community would never walk our streets again.
Jeff spoke at our local schools and community forums about the opioid epidemic, cybercrime and other criminal justice issues. He has conducted lectures to new attorneys on criminal law and taught trial practice at Syracuse University. In 2016, Jeff began his own law practice, where he represents clients in many areas of the law.
The Town of Clay is the largest town in Onondaga County. To run efficiently and effectively, Clay Town Court requires a judge who is proficient in criminal law and understands how the criminal justice system works. Jeff will bring a decade of criminal law experience to the bench and ensure that justice is done each and every day.
Nothing is more important than family. Jeff is married to his wife Katie and they have three beautiful children; Dominic, Daniella and Analise. He spends most of his free time on the little league field.
