Berardi Immigration Law Is Thrilled to Earn a Place Among the Nation’s Most Successful Independent Businesses
[Buffalo, NY] August 11, 2026 – Berardi Immigration Law today announced it has been ranked on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses, recognizing companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the future of the economy. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia.
“Twenty-one years ago, I started this firm with zero clients and a firm belief in exceptional and ethical immigration services. Making the Inc. 5000 this year isn’t about the ranking, it’s proof that the way we built this place actually works: answer the phone, tell clients the truth, and do the work so well that people stick around. Thank you to our clients for trusting us with something as important as their immigration journey, and to our team for showing up and earning that trust every single day.” – Rosanna Berardi, Managing Partner
This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance–it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2026 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 14–16 in Dallas, Texas and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. Magazine.
