Rosanna Berardi

Rosanna Berardi, a prominent immigration attorney, established Berardi Immigration Law in 2005 after leaving a prestigious position at a large firm. Starting with just one client in a modest apartment, she has expanded her practice into a renowned multinational firm that serves a diverse clientele across various industries. Her team, consisting of expert attorneys, paralegals, and professionals, has helped shape the firm's success.

Rosanna's vision of creating the 'Disney of Immigration Law' is reflected in her commitment to exceptional client service and proactive legal guidance. This dedication has fostered a unique firm culture grounded in core values and teamwork, earning Berardi Immigration Law two 'Best Places to Work' awards from Buffalo Business First.

Her career began as an Immigration Inspector at the Peace Bridge with the former INS, followed by a role as an Immigration Trial Attorney in New York City. She then served as Immigration Counsel at the State University of New York at Buffalo, where she prepared numerous filings for faculty and staff. After working as an Immigration Associate at Buffalo's largest law firm, she launched her own practice and has since become a sought-after speaker and media expert, recognized for her insights into immigration trends.

In 2020, Rosanna was honored as Woman Entrepreneur of the Year by Women Owned Law. Despite her professional achievements, she values personal balance, enjoying time with her husband Jack, son Salvatore, and their Havanese, Lola.
