At The Law Firm of Michael S. Berardino, formerly Mangialardi & Berardino in Hartsdale, New York, your future is important. As an experienced criminal defense lawyer, I work hard to protect you from fines, jail time, and the collateral consequences of a criminal conviction, such as the loss of your job, or the suspension of your driver’s license.

I have worked in the New York criminal justice system for more than 34 years, first as a prosecutor and then as a criminal defense trial lawyer. In law school, I learned the law. As a prosecutor, I learned how the legal system really works. As a criminal defense attorney, I use my knowledge of the law and the system to protect your rights and your freedom.
