He also represents people in state and federal court who have been charged with a crime or who are under investigation in a criminal matter.
Prior to working in plaintiff ’s personal injury law, Kevin honed his trial skills and gained valuable experience as a felony-level prosecutor for 8 years with the Ulster County District Attorney’s Office. During the course of his career as a prosecutor, Kevin was tasked by the District Attorney with the responsibility of supervising The Ulster Regional Gang Enforcement Narcotics Team, a county-wide task force handling violent felonies and drug cases.
