“Tony and I met and became friends 30 years ago as young assistant prosecutors in Bergen County. Tony’s skill in the courtroom has only flourished since then, and that is why, today, he is regarded as one of the state’s best trial attorneys. Partnering with Tony, and the experience he brings to the firm, will provide meaningful value to our White Collar & Criminal Defense Practice and all of our clients. We welcome Tony with open arms,“ Robert Scrivo, co-chair of the White Collar & Criminal Defense practice at Mandelbaum Barrett, said.
A former assistant prosecutor at the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office in Hackensack, Iacullo has prosecuted a wide range of criminal cases, including matters involving drug offenses and homicides.
“Robert and I are incredibly fortunate for the opportunity to partner with Tony.

We jumped at the chance to have Tony join our team,” Damian Conforti, co-chair of the White Collar & Criminal Defense practice, said.
Iacullo also has extensive appellate experience, having appeared before the New Jersey Appellate Division, the Supreme Court of New Jersey, and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Criminal Trial Attorney, he is admitted to practice in New Jersey, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and the Supreme Court of New Jersey.
