<Tr> <Th> Honors </Th> <Td> Ellis Island Medal of Honor (1996) </Td> </Tr> <P> Peter G. Angelos (born July 4, 1929) is an American trial lawyer . </P> <P> Angelos is also the majority owner of the Baltimore Orioles, a baseball team in the American League East Division . </P> <P> In March of 1996 Maryland hired Angelos to represent the state in its suit against tobacco companies with a 25 - percent contingency fee . After Angelos filed suit on behalf of the state the trial court ruled that the state's recovery would be limited to subrogation of losses through programs such as Medicaid; this would have effectively ended the state's case . Angelos successfully lobbied the state legislature to change the law to allow the state's suit to proceed . The state legislature also cut Angelos' fee to 12.5 percent . Angelos then agreed to accept the lower fee in exchange for the legislature lifting caps on on non-economic damages in asbestos suits . Given that Angelos was the leading asbestos lawyer in Maryland at the time, this was very lucrative for him . After, the legislation was passed, Angelos reneged on his deal and demanded his full 25 percent fee . Eventually he settled for $150 million paid over five years . </P>
