McIntyre Schnieders remembers Mario D’Angelo, our colleague and friend. His decades-long legal career was marked by dedication to his clients, substantial experience in complex pharmaceutical and product-liability litigation, and the respect of the lawyers who worked alongside him.
Mario brought decades of experience in nationally coordinated litigation to the lawyers and clients with whom he worked. We remain grateful for his contributions to the profession and are honored to preserve his memory here.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Mario was deeply devoted to his family. That devotion was central to his life and remains an important part of how he is remembered by those who knew him.
A career in complex litigation
Mario practiced law for decades and devoted a substantial portion of his career to pharmaceutical mass torts, product liability, medical malpractice, and complex personal-injury litigation. His work included case development, expert selection, discovery, settlement, and trial preparation in matters involving major pharmaceutical manufacturers and nationally coordinated proceedings.
National litigation leadership
Mario served in court-appointed plaintiffs’ management roles in significant coordinated proceedings, including New York Rezulin litigation, New York diet-drug litigation, and New Jersey diet-drug litigation.
