About Carl D’Angio Jr

Being a lawyer is the greatest career in the world. We have the chance to fully use our intellect, but in ways that really make a difference in a person’s day-to-day life. It could be making sure that their assets get to their family in the most efficient way if they die. It could be protecting them as they buy a house, the biggest investment they’ll make. It could be setting up a corporation or otherwise advising them. It could be when they are at their lowest, when they are getting divorced, having been in a terrible accident, are insolvent and need to file bankruptcy or having just lost a family member. At every turn in the road we get the opportunity to be there. One of the reasons that some people have a poor opinion of lawyers is that they only see lawyers when something bad has happened. We understand that, but still see nothing but an opportunity to make the situation as good as it can be.

Our family are all direct descendents of the royal Capetian houses of France, Eleanor of Aquitaine and dozens of other royals.

Our family emigrated to Italy in 1266 at the behest of the Pope who had befriended
Carlo D’Angio, our 32nd great-grandfather who was the King of Southern Italy and Sicily. He held many titles including King of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies, Count of Anjou(France), Count of Maine(France), Count of Provenza(Italy), King of Naples, Prince of Taranto(Italy), King of Albania and titular King of Jerusalem. He was the brother of Louis IX of France (St. Louis). His maternal grandmother was Eleanor of Aquitaine, the richest women in the history of the world, who alternately married to the King of France, the King of England and gave birth to two kings, including King John, who signed the magna carta in 1215.

Carlo D’Angiò was born on March 21, 1226 and died on January 7,1285.
