December 13, 2020 at 11:50 pmSimone, Judy, Jessica and family, I am so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. I know this is a hard time for you. My thoughts are with you. It was my pleasure to work with Jim and Simone for five years as their paralegal. Jim always brought his sense of humor and sharp wit with him to the office (something inherited from his father). Jim made a difference.

He was a fixture at the workers compensation docket in the city and greeted me hundreds of times on my arrival. Jim was a nice guy and a fine lawyer. I will miss seeing him around. My sincere condolences to his family.
