Brooklyn’s Criminal Bar Association inducts Schwitzman as its president
Defense attorney Jay H. Schwitzman was inducted as the new president of the Kings County Criminal Bar Association last night.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, Schwitzman graduated from SUNY Stony Brook and later the Quinnipiac School of Law. He has been practicing as a criminal defense attorney for the past 25 years and in that time he has handled over 2,000 criminal cases. Prior to serving as KCCBA’s president, Schwitzman was its treasurer since 2010.
“Brooklyn is growing, and I’m proud to be president in such an important time in our borough’s growth,” Schwitzman said. “I believe that we, as an organization of criminal practitioners, will follow the growth of Brooklyn in terms of prospering, and as we become a bigger and better borough, our judiciary will rise up to the challenge.”
