Chad A. Jerome works in the Litigation Department and has been representing people injured as a result of the negligence or medical malpractice of others since joining the firm in 2017. Additionally, Chad continues to handle some Family and Matrimonial matters as part of his practice areas.
Chad has over 26 years of legal experience, which includes being involved in and handling dozens of trials.

In addition to his zealous representation of clients, Chad has also presented and written on numerous topics relevant to personal injury and civil practice.

Chad has also been named to the Super Lawyers Upstate New York Rising Stars for the years 2013-2017 (the last year he was eligible for this designation), a designation that acknowledges emerging attorneys admitted to the bar within the past ten years.
