About Michael Edgar
Michael Edgar Vitaliano trained at Brooklyn Law School, where he completed his legal education before entering practice in New York. His time in law school laid the groundwork for a career spent working in both public and private settings. Classmates and instructors remember him as methodical and practical in approach.
In 2015 he joined the Richmond County District Lawyer's Office. That stint placed him inside a busy local office environment early in his career. He handled day-to-day responsibilities typical of a county legal office and gained firsthand exposure to courtroom procedure and case management.
After his period in public service he moved into private practice. The transition allowed him to apply the procedural knowledge and courtroom familiarity he had developed to representation outside the government. Over the years he has balanced litigation-related work with client counseling and the administrative demands of running a law practice.
Vitaliano maintains current membership in professional associations. He participates in those groups as a way to stay connected to developments in New York law and to professional colleagues across the region. That involvement supplements the practical work he does at his office and helps him keep pace with evolving rules and procedures.
He operates The Vitaliano Law Office, PLLC. The office handles matters that arise in New York and serves clients who seek representation across the state’s courts and administrative bodies. He oversees casework, client intake, and the daily operations of the practice.
Colleagues describe his style as straightforward. He tends to present options clearly and to prioritize practical next steps for clients. He also emphasizes preparation for court appearances and administrative hearings when those outcomes are likely.
Outside the office he has kept ties to the local legal community. He attends bar events and association meetings when schedules allow. Those connections have informed how he runs his practice and how he approaches new matters.
As of 2026 he continues to practice law in New York through The Vitaliano Law Office, PLLC, representing clients and handling matters that come before state and local forums.
