I've spent decades in courtrooms handling serious felony and misdemeanor criminal charges, high-conflict family court abuse and neglect matters, and juvenile delinquency petitions. I have also had tremendous success in schools and university settings fighting complex student disciplinary cases.
Clients count on me for clear strategy, sharp negotiation and courtroom skill when the pressure is highest. I take the time to know all about your case and I never leave you guessing. You'll know where you stand- and what to do next.
President of the Suffolk County Women's Bar Association 2025-2026, and former Executive Board Member of the Suffolk County Criminal Bar Association
Whether you are the target of an investigation, have just been arrested, or are already facing serious charges in court, there is no substitute for having an experienced advocate by your side. With decades of experience as a prosecutor—both as an Assistant District Attorney in the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office and as an Assistant County Attorney handling matters in Family Court—I know exactly how the system works, from both sides of the courtroom. Today, as a criminal defense attorney, I bring that experience, strategic insight, and relentless advocacy to every client I serve. Whether you are facing misdemeanor or felony charges, dealing with complex criminal allegations, or navigating related issues such as Orders of Protection or collateral family law consequences, I am prepared to guide you through what can be an overwhelming and high-stakes process. I understand that your freedom, your record, and your future are on the line. Every case is personal to me, and I handle every matter with the seriousness and dedication it deserves. If you are charged with a crime or under investigation in Suffolk County or anywhere on Long Island, contact my office today to discuss your case.
Do not make the mistake of thinking that juvenile or adolescent cases are “criminal defense lite.” They are not. Defending minors facing delinquency or adolescent offender charges requires a deep understanding of a separate, complex area of law—one that few criminal defense attorneys are truly equipped to handle. With extensive experience in both the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office and the County Attorney’s Office, I have spent years handling these cases from all sides of the courtroom. I have also taught other attorneys on the requirements of the Raise the Age legislation and the specialized procedures that now govern these matters across New York State. When representing a young client, it is critical to understand not only criminal procedure but also the very different standards, rights, and protocols that apply to juveniles. The presentment agency operates differently than a district attorney. There is no grand jury. Detention protocols have changed dramatically in recent years. The court operates on an advanced, much faster timeline. Confidentiality, sealing, and long-term consequences must all be skillfully navigated to protect your child’s future. I serve clients across Long Island and New York State in these matters and have helped families achieve tremendous results—even when the situation seemed hopeless. If your child is facing juvenile delinquency or adolescent offender charges, contact my office today. Early and experienced intervention can make all the difference.
When Child Protective Services (CPS)—or in NYC, ACS—files an abuse or neglect petition against you, or when another parent accuses you of harming or neglecting your child, the stakes could not be higher. Your parental rights, your future relationship with your children, and your reputation are all on the line. You need more than just an attorney who knows the courtroom. You need someone who knows the system from the inside out. I spent over a decade working in this field, handling thousands of these cases—from emergency removals and custody battles to final termination proceedings. I understand how these agencies operate and how to protect your rights while helping you manage the complicated, often overwhelming relationship with Child Protective caseworkers and other officials. I know how to fight for your family and your future. If you are facing allegations of abuse or neglect, do not wait. Contact my office today. Skilled legal help from the start can make all the difference.
New York’s gun laws—and especially its Extreme Risk Orders of Protection (ERPO or Red Flag laws)—are some of the most complex and evolving in the country. These cases can result in the immediate seizure of firearms, long-term restrictions, and serious consequences for your rights and property—even if no criminal charges are filed. I was the first attorney in the state of New York to handle an ERPO case when the law was enacted, and I have since handled hundreds of these matters. I also bring deep experience in gun returns, licensing issues, and firearms protocols, making me uniquely equipped to protect not only your rights, but also your valuable firearms, heirlooms, and legal standing as a gun owner. When you are facing an ERPO, firearm-related charge, or license issue, experience matters. I know how to fight for your rights at every stage—from emergency hearings to final resolution. If your firearms, your license, or your reputation are at risk, contact my office today. Skilled legal representation can make all the difference.
If you’ve been injured in a car accident, slip and fall, or through someone else’s negligence, your choice of attorney matters. These cases are not just about quick settlements — they are about making sure you get what you truly deserve. I bring real courtroom experience to personal injury matters, having previously handled negligence, accident, and liability cases while serving in the Tort Law Bureau of the Suffolk County Attorney’s Office. I know how to properly assess a claim, build a strong case, and see it through. I also work with a trusted network of proven attorneys — not volume-driven firms — so you can be assured that if I do not personally handle your case, I will connect you with an attorney I know will fight hard and go the distance for you. If you have been injured, contact my office today. I will make sure you get the attention, advocacy, and results you deserve.
If you or your child are facing a Title IX investigation at a college, or university—anywhere in New York or beyond— or a disciplinary proceeding in high school, early legal representation is critical. These are not criminal cases, but the consequences can be life-altering: loss of a diploma, suspension or expulsion, permanent marks on a transcript, or serious damage to future employment and academic opportunities. I have successfully defended students in both Title IX sexual misconduct cases and other serious school code violations—including allegations of plagiarism and academic dishonesty. My goal is always to protect your education, your reputation, and your future. I do far more than “know the system.” I use the school’s own policies, codes of conduct, and procedural rules to mount a comprehensive defense. I hold schools accountable to follow their own obligations and fight to prevent improper findings from derailing my clients’ lives. If you or your child are facing a Title IX investigation or school disciplinary hearing, do not wait. Early, experienced legal advocacy can make all the difference. Contact my office today.
As an experienced lawyer, I will thoroughly analyze the facts of each case. I will apply all the relevant theories and laws of the case and explain them to you so you know exactly what you are facing.
I will prioritize understanding your concerns and aligning with your goals. Your satisfaction and well being are my top priority.
We develop a customized plan to protect your rights and achieve the best possible outcome for you given all the facts.

I thought for sure my future was ruined after a night out with the wrong person cost me an arrest for possession with intent to sell. Nobody would listen or cared that I had no idea that the person I was with had drugs on them. Renée not only appeared every single court date that I had to be there, she took up my fight with the prosecutors and eventually got my case dismissed. I would have been terrified the entire time for what this meant for my future but Renée made things much easier to deal with. She is the best lawyer.

Renée helped my teenage son so that a stupid mistake didn’t end up taking away his future. She is the nicest, most patient person you could ask for in terms of explaining the law and all things we needed to understand, but don’t make the mistake of thinking she’s soft, she’s not! She fights for her clients.

Ms. Pardo was not only great to deal with, she explained everything in a way that made it clear to me and my wife that we had to deal differently with the school case against our son. Once we made some changes based on her recommendations we started having a much better experience and were able to get our son to a much better school without any harm or interruption to his education. I highly recommend Ms. Pardo
