Murchison & Cumming, LLP is pleased to announce that Partner and civil litigation trial specialist Lisa D. Angelo has been promoted to Senior Partner.

After earning her J.D. from Whittier Law School, and her LLM from George Washington University, Ms. Angelo began her legal career in Washington, D.C. where she worked on high profile complex civil-litigation matters and tried her first cases in several state and Federal courts on the East Coast. She returned to California and joined Murchison & Cumming, LLP as an Associate attorney in 2008.

Over the course of the past 15-years with M&C, Ms. Angelo has successfully represented her retail, non-profit business and professional clients, securing multiple defense trial verdicts and dispositive motion outcomes. She is a Martindale Hubbell AV-Preeminent rated attorney and a member of several esteemed legal organizations where she speaks on various topics including mentoring, malpractice and navigating settlement demands.

“We are very proud to welcome Lisa as a Senior Partner at Murchison & Cumming,” said Managing Partner Dan L. Longo. “Over her time at the firm, Lisa has exhibited the litigation skills, leadership, and ability to work with others that will make her an outstanding Senior Partner.”

Ms. Angelo’s core mission throughout her 20-year legal career has been to pay it forward as her mentors did for her. “It is an honor to join the firm’s leadership as a Senior Partner,” said Ms. Angelo. “I am excited to take this next step and to being a permanent part of the firm’s future. I am mindful of what brought me to this pinnacle—relationships, communication and connection. I am grateful for the foundation upon which my career was built, including my family, my M&C family, and to a particular college professor who helped convince me that the law was my destined path. I look forward to this next step in my journey with the firm that began as a receptionist and morphed into Senior Partnership.”
