About Guy Carman Icangelo
Guy Carman Icangelo Jr. has practiced law in Florida courts and federal benches for more than three decades. He projects a steady, methodical approach. Clients and colleagues describe him as pragmatic and thorough rather than flashy. His work centers on courtroom practice and appellate matters across the state.
He earned a Bachelor of Science from Emerson College in 1982 and went on to receive his Juris Doctor from the University of Miami School of Law in 1995. Those academic stops bookend a period of preparation that moved him toward litigation. The law degree in the mid-1990s set the stage for a career spent largely in courtrooms rather than behind transactional desks.
Early in his career he took assignments that exposed him to both trial practice and appellate work. Over time he handled federal filings, motions practice and appeals, which shaped the litigation posture he maintains today. He is admitted to practice in Florida and before the U.S. District Courts for the Middle and Southern Districts of Florida. He also has permission to appear before the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
His office affiliation is with Hicks & Motto - Lawyers at Law, where he works alongside other litigators and counsel. At that firm he continues to prosecute and defend contested matters, draft briefs, and argue in state and federal forums. He spends time preparing evidence and witness testimony and preparing appellate briefs for higher courts. Colleagues say he prefers careful preparation and clear argumentation over theatrical courtroom maneuvers.
Outside the courtroom he maintains the kinds of professional contacts that keep a litigator effective: other attorneys, court staff and experts in various technical fields. He has handled cases that required coordination across jurisdictions, which helps explain his admissions to multiple federal courts and the Eleventh Circuit.
Icangelo’s practice is grounded in procedural work and litigation. He has practiced since the mid-1990s and has continued to accept matters that require federal court appearances and appeals. He remains active in litigation practice at Hicks & Motto - Lawyers at Law, handling state and federal court matters and appellate work.
