Michael Maggiano
We began in Fort Lee New Jersey in 1974. Michael Maggiano’s unique dedication to and success in trial law made him stand out among other attorneys. In 1992 Mr. Maggiano joined forces with Christopher DiGirolamo. Soon our reputation for success and our desire to help even more kinds of cases led us to join with another experienced trial lawyer to complete our team: Michael Lizzi. Today MDL has locations in Fort Lee, New Jersey. We associate with leading trial firms throughout the country in handling catastrophic injury cases of all types.
