Marc, on the other hand, has a history of defending high-profile clients such as “pharma bro” Martin Shkreli and Nxivm founder Keith Raniere. He co-founded the firm Agnifilo Intrater and is leading Combs’ defense against racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges.
The Agnifilos' legal careers have often intersected, with Karen serving as the chief assistant district attorney and Marc representing clients targeted by the DA's office. Despite potential conflicts of interest, the couple has navigated their professional lives with integrity and respect.
Karen’s experience in prosecuting violent crime cases and her dedication to creating specialized units within the DA’s office have shaped her approach to defense work. She has also ventured into media, offering legal insights on various platforms.
Marc, known for his defense of controversial figures, emphasizes the importance of providing a robust defense for his clients. He has a track record of trying cases and challenging government allegations.
As the Agnifilos join forces to tackle these high-stakes cases, their combined expertise and strategic approach are poised to make a significant impact in the legal realm.
