THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE SUITS

Founded in June of 2019, the dynamic duo of Ariana J. Tadler and A.J. de Bartolomeo jointly built Tadler Law from the ground up via a unified blend of vision, determination and talent with two goals in mind – to redefine what it means to be a boutique law firm, and to empower women in the process of doing so.

With 5+ years under their fashionable belts, Tadler Law is savvy enough to know that it’s the people, not the suits they don, that make matters happen.  Fueled by common threads of genuine empathy, grit and unbound energy, the Tadler Team continues to keep people and their personalities at the forefront of every client they represent – a powerful blend of “we care” + “we got this” that continues to win cases.
