Previously, Greer and Harris practiced at Lewis & Greer, P.C. in Poughkeepsie. They will continue to work out of the 510 Haight Ave. space in Poughkeepsie, as WOH expands its presence in the Dutchess County area.

“Scott Greer and Dylan Harris bring outstanding legal talent and experience to the firm and we’re excited to have them join our team,” said Robert Schofield, managing partner at WOH. “By having a bricks and mortar location in Poughkeepsie, we will be able to expand our work in Dutchess County, which is a real growth area for us.”

Greer’s practice focuses on business and commercial law, construction law, labor and employment law, trial and appellate litigation in state and federal courts, and alternative dispute resolution before the American Arbitration Association and other ADR forums. He has served as an advisor and litigator for more than 30 years and has been recognized as an Upstate New York Super Lawyer in construction litigation annually since 2015.   Greer is also a member in the Construction Lawyers Society of America, a highly selective, invitation-only construction lawyer honorary society with membership limited to 1,200 practicing Fellows from the United States and internationally.

A graduate of the University at Albany, Greer earned his law degree at the Albany Law School of Union University.
