About Tiffany J.
Tiffany J. Burress practices law in New York and New Jersey. She came to the profession through study and steady work. Her undergraduate degree is a B.A. in Labor and Industrial Relations from Pennsylvania State University. She earned her J.D. at Duquesne University School of Law. Those courses and early internships shaped her approach to client work and courtroom routine.
Her career began in a courthouse setting. In 2004 she served as a law clerk at Burns, White & Hickton, handling research, drafting and other courtroom support duties. She moved into private practice as an associate at Podvey Meanor in 2008. That role exposed her to a broad slate of civil matters and the practical demands of litigation. By 2010 she was listed as a lawyer at Dario Yacker Suarez & Albert LLP, where she has continued her practice.
Burress maintains active memberships in several county and professional groups. Since 2010 she has been a member of the Passaic, Bergen, Essex and Union County bar associations. She also belongs to the New Jersey Women Lawyers Association and the National Association of Professional Women. Those memberships have kept her connected to local courts, continuing legal education and peer networks across New Jersey.
Colleagues describe her work style as methodical and steady. She has handled legal research, client counseling and courtroom filings across multiple matters. Her background in labor and industrial relations informs how she reads contracts and workplace disputes. She is licensed to practice in both New York and New Jersey, and she draws on that dual admission when cases cross state lines.
Outside the office she has remained engaged with bar association programming and professional events. That presence in the local legal community has informed the cases she accepts and the practitioners she consults. Her path from law clerk to associate to lawyer reflects a steady climb through practical roles rather than through publicity or awards.
She currently practices at Dario Yacker Suarez & Albert LLP, and her work often involves matters connected to her training in labor and industrial relations.
