Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I first met John while I was a student in his Trial Practice class at Syracuse University College of Law. I appeared in front of Judge Cherundolo when he was a Supreme Court Justice in Onondaga County, and I unequivocally endorse him and his law firm for all matters related to litigation and personal injury. He is a tremendous asset to the legal community and CNY as a whole.

I cannot over emphasize the skills, integrity, and excellence in the practice of law exhibited by John Cherundolo. His mastery of the law cannot be overstated. It is an inspiration to watch him tirelessly champion his clients' interests, He has devoted years (even while he was on the Supreme Court) lecturing to trial attorneys. He taught trial practice at SU Law School and is President of the NY State Academy of Law, which he co-founded, I am honored to be Past President of that same organization. The only thing negative I can say is that he isn't Shelly's and my partner. I endorse him without reservation and I consider myself lucky to have attended his lectures for the past 20 years, and also to have a friendship where we strategize together and work to enhance the public's faith in the Trial Bar.
