Agnello is an attorney in Michael Best’s Intellectual Property Practice Group. His practice focuses on the acquisition, enforcement, and litigation of intellectual property rights, particularly related to trademarks and copyrights, both domestically and internationally.

At the DOJ, Agnello litigated civil, criminal, and appellate cases for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Wisconsin before assuming a role prosecuting white collar criminal offenses for the DOJ’s Tax Division in Washington, D.C.
