Senior Litigation Attorney Angela Quintero offers the firm 24 years of distinguished litigation expertise, having conducted over 120 trials and evidentiary hearings. Ms. Quintero has litigated a broad spectrum of cases, including Civil Plaintiff and Defense matters, Criminal Prosecution and Defense, catastrophic injury claims, premises liability, motorcycle, semi-truck, and motor vehicle accidents, Construction Defense, Guardianship, Termination of Parental Rights, Domestic Violence Restraining Orders, and various Family Law disputes. Notably, she contributed to the Gladis Soto case, helping clarify the application of a 25-year firearm enhancement originally presented as a “gang enhancement law.” Her efforts led to successful resentencing, which resulted in Ms. Soto’s release and influenced sentencing outcomes for other domestic violence victims under similar statutes.
Seeing a need for Grant Writers, Ms. Quintero was inspired to attend the University of Notre Dame to pursue a degree in Non-Profit Fund Development in the Executive Management Program at the prestigious Mendoza School of Business of Notre Dame University where she became a Certified Grant Proposal Writer.

Ms. Quintero is also a Certified Minor’s Counsel, which proved valuable during her transition into Entertainment Law. She was featured as a speaker at the Indie Entertainment Summit in 2013 and 2014, discussing minors’ legal protections in the entertainment industry.
