David Calviello, a 25-year veteran at the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office, is one of three white-collar litigators to join Calcagni & Kanefsky, a fast-growing firm based in Newark, the firm announced this week.
The boutique firm, which now has 20 attorneys, recruits former federal and state prosecutors. That’s by design, co-founder and Partner Thomas Calcagni said.
“Our steady expansion since inception has been a reflection of the trust earned in favorably resolving our clients’ most sensitive matters,” he said. “We continue building the very best team of trial lawyers for the sake of serving our clients — which includes the addition of our newest colleagues.”
Calviello, who joins as a partner, was most recently the trial chief at the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office. He has nearly 60 criminal jury trials under his belt, and recently served as president of the Assistant Prosecutors Association of New Jersey.
