Info | Attorney and current owner of the Baltimore Orioles.
Baltimore City Council District 3 (1959-1963).
Ran for MD State Senate in the 1950s and Mayor of Baltimore in the 1960s.
He represented consumers and workers in class-action suits against the likes of Philip Morris and Motorola. The turning point in his career came in the early 1980s, when labor leaders cajoled him into accepting a suit on behalf of asbestos workers. Within a decade, asbestos had made Angelos a very rich man. His firm has reportedly made more than $100 million on asbestos rulings alone, and still handles as many as 500 cases each year.
