George Dazzo splits with Ken Auerbach law firm

George Dazzo, who represented Conservative Party mavericks in court last year in a battle over party leadership, has split with his law firm, known formerly as Cartier, Bernstein, Auerbach and Dazzo.

Kenneth Auerbach, who until September was Brookhaven Conservative co-leader, acknowledged Dazzo’s departure from the Patchogue-based law firm, but declined to divulge details.

“He is no longer with the firm,” said Auerbach, who called the split “a private business decision . . . We’ve moved on and Rudy Cartier and I will continue the firm which we started 30 years ago.

Dazzo agreed the decision to separate was “purely business.”

He said he continues to back Auerbach’s effort to seek a new Conservative leadership election in court.
