About James
Biography
I have been admitted to the New York State Bar since 2004. I spent the first ten years of my career as an Assistant District Attorney in the Onondaga County (Syracuse) District Attorney's Office. Over the course of my public service time I prosecuted thousands of criminal cases, including DWI, Assault, Robbery, Burglary and illegal weapons possession. I also have experience in the handling of criminal appeals. During my tenure as a prosecutor, I conducted over 20 jury trials and countless grand jury presentations and hearings.
In 2014 I left the D.A.'s office to go into private practice. My practice is dedicated exclusively to representing those charged with traffic charges, DWI, misdemeanor and felony offenses. In making the decision to end my career as a prosecutor and go into criminal defense, I knew I only wanted to associate with those defense attorneys that have proven themselves to be exceptional attorneys and have the best reputations in the community for honest, ethical and zealous representation of those facing criminal charges. I found the perfect opportunity at Green & Brenneck to work with a team of experienced, former prosecutors who have demonstrated time and again their ability to deliver results for clients and maintain the highest level of professionalism and compassion.

The impossible
I was in a bad position on my part with my license, I had a ticket going over 20 mph the speed limit and one over 30 as well in 2 different towns. Mr. Daley did a superb job representing me! They were both reduced when I didn’t think it was possible! Thank you!

What a relief!
I ended up randomly googling lawyers in my area when I panicked after getting my only DWI from a checkpoint on a holiday. I'm in the healthcare field and feared this would forever affect my career. I found Jim because his group of lawers at TeamGreen were the best rated in Syracuse,NY. He treated m...

Excellent work!
Jim helped my out with my DWI. I met with him for the first time the day after my arrest. From that point forward I felt that I was in good hands. All my questions were answered. He explained the process which for a person not familiar with the legal system helped ease some stress. All the differ...

During that time I watched as he prosecuted one high profile case after another - each time handling the case professionally, ethically, and with incredible skill.

"Mr. Daley is a lawyer you can count on to guide you through the criminal law process. He has a great deal of experience in the field of DWI. When he as a prosecutor he worked for several years in the DWI unit. After he learned that field really well he moved on to major crimes in the felony trial unit. He has tremendous experience handling major cases and knows what facts matter. He can be relied on to give you the "real" analysis of a legal issue and advise you of the best course of action for you and your family.
