Angelo Lagman
@angelolagman
Dedicated attorney with expertise in legal compliance and advocacy.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a passionate attorney with a Juris Doctor from Hofstra University, where I was honored with the Hofstra Public Service Award and served as the founding president of the Global Law Students Organization. My legal journey has been marked by a commitment to advocacy, particularly for individuals with disabilities, as demonstrated in my role at the Brain Injury Rights Group, where I represented students in administrative hearings under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
Throughout my career, I have gained diverse experience in various legal settings, including working as an associate at Friedenthal, Heffernan & Brown, LLP, where I handled cases related to construction defects and personal injury. My externships have further enriched my understanding of compliance and regulatory issues, notably during my time at the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General and Hercules Pharmaceuticals, where I focused on securities law and corporate compliance, respectively. I am dedicated to continuous learning and mentorship, having trained new attorneys and law clerks in procedural matters.
