 
E. Stewart Jones, Jr. graduated from Williams
College in 1963 and Albany Law School in 1966, joining this firm
following graduation. He has earned a reputation as a tireless
advocate for the rights of those who have been injured by others,
as well as those who have been accused of significant crimes.
His success has earned him the distinction of
being the only New York State lawyer outside of New York City
to be elected to the four most exclusive national organizations
honoring outstanding trial lawyers: the International Academy
of Trial Lawyers, the Inner Circle of Advocates, the International
Society of Barristers and the American College of Trial Lawyers.
Mr. Jones is also a Diplomate of the American
Board of Trial Advocates and the American Board of Professional
Liability Attorneys. His election as a Diplomate of the American
Board of Professional Liability Attorneys reflects the recognition
by his peers of his extensive experience and success in the evaluation,
negotiation and trial of lawsuits involving the negligence of
professionals such as doctors, hospital personnel and other health
care professionals. Mr. Jones has also been honored by
his election as a Fellow of the American Board of Criminal
lawyers. Mr. Jones is one of very few lawyers in the entire
country that is Board Certified as both a Civil Trial Advocate
and a Criminal Trial Advocate by the National Board of Trial
Advocacy.
He has been involved in an enormous number of
major civil and criminal cases, and has obtained numerous million-dollar
verdicts on behalf of his clients and countless
million-dollar settlements. At one time or another, he
has held the verdict record for a number of counties in upstate
New York.
Mr. Jones has authored numerous articles and
chapters in a broad variety of trial advocacy books, and has
lectured extensively throughout the State of New York in all
facets of personal injury lawsuits. He appeared in the first
edition of The Best Lawyers in America, published in 1983, and
has appeared in every edition since in three separate categories:
personal injury litigation, criminal defense and malpractice.
