Assistant U.S. Attorney Douglas Gregory to head Rochester office
Assistant U.S. Attorney Douglas Gregory has been chosen to head the Rochester branch of the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Western District of New York.
Gregory has worked as a prosecutor in the Rochester branch of the U.S. Attorney's Office since 1999. He previously worked in the Monroe County District Attorney's Office.
"Doug’s skills, both as a litigator and a leader, make him eminently qualified to serve in this role," U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy Jr. said in a statement Monday.
A native of Corning, Gregory began his federal service prosecuting illegal weapons cases under the anti-violence campaign, Project Exile.
He has also served as the deputy chief of the Narcotics and Organized Crime Section, where he was responsible for the prosecution of gang cases, drug trafficking crimes and violent felony offenses. Gregory, who has received national awards and honors for his work, has also been the lead prosecutor in several high-profile multi-defendant trials.
Kennedy also announced Monday that:
• Assistant U.S. Attorney Tiffany H. Lee was named chief of the Appellate Division for the Western District of New York.
• Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard A. Resnick was named chief of the White Collar General Crimes Section in Rochester.
• Brett A. Harvey was reappointed as chief of the Narcotics and Violent Crime Section in Rochester.
"Chief Lee, Chief Resnick and Chief Harvey are each widely recognized as among the most talented AUSAs (assistant U.S. attorneys) in their respective areas of practice in the entire Department of Justice," Kennedy said.
