Chateaugay Historical Events
2001, January 13
Alexander Lesyk, Esq. of Chateaugay has been sponsored for
admittance to the Bar of the United States Supreme Court. After his
induction in Washington, D.C. this spring, he will be able to argue
cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. While there are a few attorneys
in Franklin County who have been appointed to the Bar of the United
States Supreme Court, the appointment is not common. The New York
State Bar Association honored Lesyk in 1993 by naming him one of the
two best public defenders in New York State. Lesyk currently argues
cases in all levels of state and county court, and several federal
jurisdictions.
