Constantine was an attorney admitted to the New York Bar in 1960 and to the United States District Court (Southern District of New York) in 1965. He opened a general law practice in Armonk, specializing in Real Estate Law and where he served the community as North Castle Town Judge.

He took great pride in his Calabrian heritage and his family’s roots in Italy, and he enjoyed sharing that appreciation with his family.
