A Buffalo Lawyer
Random thoughts -- and helpful links and resources -- from a Buffalo lawyer who loves practicing law. My practice focuses on federal, municipal, and appellate litigation. My name is Jeremy A. Colby and I approve of this Blawg -- which does not represent the thoughts or views of my past, present or future: firm(s), clients, employers, schools, professors, educators, friends, and/or relatives (herein collectively defined as "Anyone Else").
