Posthumous award for
admired Queens ADA
BY BILL PARRY
A long-time fixture at
the Queens district attorney’s
office was honored
posthumously by its leader
last week.
District Attorney Richard
Brown announced
that the Thomas E. Dewey
Medal was awarded to the
late Queens Assistant District
Attorney James W.
Evangelou, who died suddenly
in September after a
brief illness.
The Thomas E. Dewey
Medal is awarded each
year by the Association
of the Bar of the City of
New York to an outstanding
assistant district
attorney in each of the
city’s five District Attorney
offices and in the Office
of the City’s Special
Narcotics Prosecutor.
Bureau Chief Evangelou
was posthumously bestowed
this honor at a ceremony at
the Association’s headquarters
on Dec. 4. The award
presentation was attended
by many of his friends and
colleagues and was accepted
on his behalf by Senior Executive
Assistant District
Attorney James C. Quinn.
“ADA Evangelou was
our long-time chief of my Career
Criminal Major Crimes
Bureau,” Brown said. “He
was a hard-working, dedicated
prosecutor. I am very
pleased this esteemed honor
is being awarded to him.”
Evangelou joined the
district attorney’s office in
1981 as part of the Special
Victims Bureau, where he
tried major felonies and homicides.
He was promoted
to Deputy Chief of the thennewly
formed Career Criminal
Major Crimes Bureau
in 1992 and eight years later
he was promoted to Bureau
Chief where he trained
scores of the office’s best
assistants, many of whom
became homicide trial assistants
and managers in
the office.
Brown said Evangelou
was not only an experienced
prosecutor and a consummate
professional, but he

Medal earlier this month. Courtesy Queens DA’s office
He was a hard-working, dedicated
prosecutor. I am very pleased this
esteemed honor is being awarded
to him.
Richard Brown
Queens District Attorney
was an all-around special
person best known for his
humble and congenial nature
and his dedication to
the office.
Evangelou’s contributions
to the office, his unwavering
passion for the law
and his dedication to achieving
justice makes him more
than worthy of this honor,
Brown added.
Among New York City
prosecutors, Dewey is remembered
as having ushered in the
era in which District Attorneys
offices have been staffed
by professional prosecutors
chosen on merit rather than
through political patronage.
Dewey first came to the
public’s attention as a prosecutor
in the 1930s, instituting
successful criminal proceedings
against gangsters,
bootleggers and organized
crime figures of the day.
By 1937, Dewey was
elected District Attorney
for New York County, where
he served one term before
resigning to run for governor.
He would go on to serve
three terms as New York’s
chief executive.
