In 2005, Kevin Colwell together with his partners founded Colwell, Colwell & Petroccione, LLP in order to provide quality, responsive and full service legal representation in the Capital District and Hudson Valley regions of upstate New York State.
After graduating from law school in 1997, Mr. Colwell served brief stints as assistant counsel in the Columbia County Public Defender's Office where he represented criminal defendants at all levels (violation through felony) from arraignment through trial and the Columbia County Department of Social Services where he prosecuted abuse and neglect proceedings on behalf of the County. In 2000 Mr. Colwell began work as an associate to the Albany Law firm Roland, Fogel, Koblenz & Petroccione, LLP where he worked in the areas of civil litigation and probate and estate law. As an associate, Mr. Colwell tried a number of civil cases to verdict and successfully handled many personal injury cases and surrogate proceedings.
