As a solo practitioner, he takes pride in personally representing each of his clients with dedication and care. Jerome has been recognized among the top 100 Connecticut criminal defense attorneys by the American Society of Legal Advocates and The National Trial Lawyers since 2014. He has earned a "Superb" 10.0 rating on Avvo.com and received their "Clients' Choice" awards annually since 2013.

Drawing on decades of experience, he employs effective negotiation strategies and, when necessary, vigorously defends his clients in court. His educational background includes a Bachelor of Science and Master’s degree in political science from the State University College at Brockport and a Juris Doctor from SUNY Buffalo Law School, where he honed his litigation skills on the Moot Court Board.
