SYRACUSE - Centolella Green Law, P.C., a DeWittbased law firm, has opened a second local office in the Hamilton White House at 307 S. Townsend St. in Syracuse.
At the same time, the firm has added a fifth partner. Centolella Green believed it needed a "downtown presence," says Jason Centolella, a partner in the firm

Centolella Green hired attorney Eric Bronstad, who joined the firm in September as a partner.
Bronstad and Jason Centolella have known each other since their first day at the Syracuse University College of Law in 2001. "By chance, we sat next to each other," says Bronstad. Both Centolella and Bronstad spoke with CNYBJ at the Hamilton White House on Oct. 16.
