JAMES E. CANTANNO JOINS The Firm AS PARTNER

Mineola, October 05, 2002 — Attorney James E. Cantanno, a resident of Massapequa Park, NY and previously a partner of the Jericho-based law firm, Ricca & Donnelly, P.C. (R&D), has been named Partner of the law firm Forchelli, Curto, Deegan, Schwartz, Mineo, Cohn & Terrana, LLP following that firm’s acquisition of R&D. R&D’s 15-member firm moved into The Firm’s offices at 330 Old Country Road, Mineola, New York, on the first of this month.

Cantanno embarked on his career in the field of experimental biology upon graduation from the College of the Holy Cross where he received his B.A. in Psychology/Pre-Medical. He switched to law, earning his J.D. from St. John’s University School of Law, and with admittance into practice in the State of New York, joined the R&D law firm as an associate. After a brief hiatus as in-house Associate Counsel for CFS Bank where he oversaw the origination and closing of mortgage loans, he returned to R&D and became partner in 2001.

At R&D, Cantanno carried forward the firm’s concentration in the practice areas of banking and real estate, representing lenders and individuals in both commercial and residential real estate matters.

On announcing Cantanno’s partnership, The Firm Managing Partner Jeffrey D. Forchelli, stated, “James Cantanno brings vitality and talent to The Firm, as well as his expertise in matters of real estate and banking.”
