Hudson County's New Legal Eagles: An interview with HC's first New County Counsel in 22 years & his new, former prosecutor Deputy

In County government, the office of County Counsel is akin to Attorney General at the state or federal level. And for the first time since 2003, Hudson County has a new County Counsel.

He is Alberico DePierro, appointed by County Executive Craig Guy this spring and confirmed last week by a unanimous vote of the Board of County Commissioners. 

The 41-year-old DePierro, and his 33-year-old Deputy, Reana Garcia, also just appointed by County Executive Guy, bring a new, youthful energy to the leadership of Hudson County’s Law Department.

They sat down with HCR to discuss their unique backgrounds, close partnership, and their plans to fulfill County Counsel’s pledge to, “foster a more resilient, equitable and prosperous future for all Hudson County residents.”
