Attorney Arthur Aidala was in great spirits surrounded by his family, friends and business associates during his 50th birthday party.
Aidala, Bertuna & Kamins combined their holiday party with their Founding Partner, Arthur Aidala’s 50th at PH-D Rooftop Lounge at the Dream Downtown and it was a night to remember.
Friends including Mayor De Blasio toasted his friend of 25 years saying, “You were 25 when we met, and I think you’re still 25-years old in the best sense. Everyone here knows that Arthur is a good human and a loyal friend and someone who speaks the truth. I may not be personally associated with the FOX network, but what I always saw, [was that] it didn’t matter what network he was on, Arthur always spoke openly. If you know him, you know he’s the real thing. I wanted to be here to discuss my friendship and appreciation. And of course, in Italian culture, we honor family above all else, [and] if you spend any time with Arthur, it’s all about family from the newest generation, to his ancestors, it means so much to him.”
Arthur then took a moment to thank his business partners including Millbrook Realty Group LLC, and the concierge car buying service, Platinum Motors NJ that he is working on alongside Michael Esposito and attorney Joseph Baratta. He thanked his partners and mentors in law before thanking his father, Louis Aidala, and toasting him as his biggest mentor.
His lovely mother Mary Ann looked on proudly, as Arthur finally announced that his former supervisor in the DA’s office John Esposito would join Aidala, Bertuna & Kamins as their fourth partner, and welcomed him to the team.
