Mr. Jones serves as a Special Master/Mediator in the Stamford Superior Court. His litigation client base includes individuals as well as business and financial institutions, large and small. Mr. Jones has been instrumental in building the firm’s Personal Injury/Wrongful Death practice into one of the premier tort recovery groups in the Tri-State area.
Mr. Jones' residential real estate practice encompasses all aspects of real estate transactions from contract through closing, for buyers and sellers throughout Connecticut and New York. Mr. Jones acts as counsel to the Greenwich Association of Realtors.
Mr. Jones is active in the community. He is a member of the Advisory Board for, and General Counsel to, the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance and a past member of the Board of the Town of Greenwich Parks and Recreation Foundation. He has done volunteer work for the United Way and is a member of the Colgate University President's Club and the Colgate Football Maroon Council.
Media Appearances:
Mr. Jones has appeared as a legal commentator on various national television programs and outlets, including Fox News, NBC News, NBC's Today Show, MSNBC Live, CNN's OutFront with Erin Burnett, and locally on News 12 Connecticut and NBC 30 Hartford News.
Practice Highlights:
Mr. Jones was lead counsel on behalf of the family of the late George Smith, in the renowned case involving the honeymooner’s disappearance from a Royal Caribbean cruise ship in 2005.
In June, 2012 Greenwich Magazine featured a cover story entitled "Mystery At Sea" about the Smith case. The story noted in part that Mr. Jones has for "six years…pursued the Smith case with a cop's tenacity—a tenacity no doubt bequeathed by his late father, a New York City police detective stationed at Fort Apache, the legendary South Bronx precinct. "I've made it my mission to push this case to the point where George's killer is indicted and convicted," says Jones."
The Greenwich Magazine article was featured on a billboard in Times Square in May, 2012:
On January 6, 2012, Mr. Jones appeared on NBC's Dateline, an hour long show about Mr. Smith's disappearance and also on NBC's Today Show with Matt Lauer. CBS News - 48 Hours featured an hour long update of the George Smith case in a special which aired on July 5, 2014. A good portion of the 48 Hours show focused on Mr. Jones' attempts to obtain justice for Mr. Smith.
