I have had the pleasure of hiring Peter Berdon for multiple legal matters over the last six years. He is professional, very responsive and has gone above and beyond many times. Peter is realistic with expected outcomes and objective with his counsel. I was appreciative for the free initial consultation and reasonable fees. I would highly recommend the Berdon, Young & Margolis team and Peter in particular, if you are looking for a hard working, honest attorney.
Whether the matter involves representing the client in litigation, a tranaction or guiding the client through a life cycle event, my goal is to provide value for my clients.
Because my practice includes representing clients over a wide range of legal issues both transactional and litigation, including real estate and land use, municipal law, estate planning and probate, family law and dissolution, commercial transactions, personal injury and worker’s compensation and liquor law I am able to provide comprehensive, cost effective, legal service to my clients. My clients include individuals, closely held business, publicly traded companies as well as municipalities such as the Town of Branford (2005-2007; 2014-present) and political subdivisions such as the Pine Orchard Association (2007-2013) and the Branford Sewer Authority (nka the Water Pollution Control Authority) (2005 to 2007 and 2013 to the present).
In my liquor law practice I represent wholesalers, suppliers, manufacturers, package stores, restaurants and bars on a wide range of liquor law and non-liquor law related issues. I advise industry members on a variety of matters including compliance with federal and state liquor regulations governing advertising campaigns, inducements, tied-house prohibitions, franchise control, label registration; corporate, finance and operational structure and permitting. I also represent industry members in connection with both the negotiation of distribution agreements and the dissolution of distribution relationships. My practice includes representation of industry members before the State of Connecticut DCP and the Federal TTB as well as in litigation matters in court. My clients range from Fortune 500 companies to closely-held privately companies to hedge funds to small independent “main street” businesses.

One of the good examples of the profession
I have known Peter Berdon for many year and at the start, wondered if he would live up to his father who was a spectacular benefit to society and the legal profession. He has shown himself to be just that. Over the years, we have used him and his firm to solve any legal issue that arose. He sometimes surprised us with the solutions he found. He and his firm are a pleasure to deal with.
