Andrew Fontanella has been practicing law for 20 years.  He brings a unique blend of academic excellence and compassion to the legal profession.  After practicing for several years in the Courts of New Jersey, his career path led to a brief period in a ministry formation program.  It was during that time that he fostered a love and understanding of the Hispanic and Deaf cultures, and developed a fluency in Spanish and American Sign Language.  He continues to be an advocate for the Hispanic and Deaf communities in the Greater Maryland and the D.C. Metropolitan areas.
