COURTS AND GEOGRAPHIC REGION OF THE LAW PRACTICE

    We have an active full-time law practice in all of the courts in the central New York area.

    Raymond J. Dague is an attorney in Syracuse, New York in the practice of law since 1979 when he was admitted to the New York bar.  For more than 25 years his law practice has extended through and beyond the central New York area. He appears regularly in Onondaga County in the supreme court, county court, surrogate’s court, family court, Syracuse city court, and the justice courts in the various towns and villages. Locally his federal court practice covers the federal district court for the northern district of New York in Syracuse, Utica, Watertown and Binghamton where he handles civil, criminal and bankruptcy cases.  Beyond Onondaga County he has regularly practices in the New York state courts of the adjacent counties of Oneida (the cities of Rome and Utica), Oswego (the cities of Fulton and Oswego), Cayuga (city of Auburn), Madison (village of Wampsville), and Cortland (the city of Cortland), and occasionally in other counties when the need arises. He has filed and argued appeals to the 4th department supreme court appellate division which sits in Rochester.  It is not uncommon for us to be on the road each week to cover the courts in other counties within upstate New York.  Beyond the central New York area he is admitted to and practices in the federal district court for the western district of New York which sits in Rochester and Buffalo, the federal bankruptcy court in Rochester, and to the federal second circuit court of appeals which sits in New York City. In 1996 he was admitted to the United States Supreme Court bar on the same day when one of his cases was argued.
