Here's to a great summer!

From National Night Out to senior picnics, youth programs, school talks, and awareness events, this summer was all about showing up, connecting with our community, and building relationships beyond the courtroom.

We were proud to spend the season alongside our neighbors at National Night Out, with the Dutchess County Office for the Aging Senior Picnics, at Braveheart Youth Academy, in classrooms and schools across Dutchess County, and at events raising awareness about some of the most important issues facing our community.

Every conversation, every handshake, and every shared moment is an opportunity to listen, educate, build trust, and stay proactive.

Thank you to everyone who welcomed us this summer. We’re grateful to be part of this community—and we’re already looking forward to what’s next.

We remember Judge Timothy Pagones not only for his distinguished service on the bench and in the Dutchess County District Attorney’s Office, but for the person he was to those who knew him.

To his colleagues and friends, Tim was a mentor, a source of wisdom, and a bright presence in every room. His integrity, humor, kindness, and genuine care for others left a lasting impression on the many people fortunate enough to work alongside him.

These memories offer a glimpse into the life and legacy of a man who gave so much to our legal community and the people of Dutchess County.

Our deepest condolences go to Tim’s family, friends, former colleagues, and all who mourn his loss.

May he rest in peace, and may his memory forever be a blessing.

☀️Summer Intern Spotlight: Meet Violet!

We’re continuing our Summer Intern Spotlight series with Violet Mackey from Southern Methodist University! This summer, Violet has been gaining firsthand insight into the criminal justice system and experiencing the prosecution process from a new perspective.

When asked about her favorite part of the internship so far, Violet shared:

“My favorite part about interning here so far has been getting to observe court and see the legal process in action. I've also really enjoyed getting to know everyone at the office, they have all been so kind and welcoming!”

From the courtroom to getting to know the people behind the work, Violet has embraced every opportunity to learn and become part of the DCDA team. We’re grateful to have her with us this summer and excited to see where her passion for law takes her!

Stay tuned as we continue highlighting our outstanding summer interns!

Our team had a great time at the 2026 Dutchess County Fair!

From cheering on live bands and enjoying the rides to exploring the incredible displays and exhibits, there was something for everyone. We got to meet plenty of adorable fair friends along the way—including some very cute bunnies and even baby Dolly the cow!

The Dutchess County Fair is always a great reminder of what makes our community so special: talented people, hardworking families, local traditions, and plenty of opportunities to come together.

We’re proud to be part of it and always enjoy seeing so many familiar faces along the way!
