About Marlon Quintanilla
Marlon Quintanilla Paz took an unconventional route to the courtroom and the conference room. He was educated at the University of Pennsylvania, where he built the academic foundation that would support a career spanning multiple U.S. jurisdictions. He brings an analytical approach to his work and a methodical attention to detail.
After his years at the University of Pennsylvania, Paz moved into practice that crossed state lines. He is admitted to practice in California, the District of Columbia, New York and Delaware. Those admissions allow him to handle matters that involve several legal systems and regulatory regimes. He has also maintained professional affiliations since 2004, a steady presence in the networks that shape corporate and investigative work.
Paz holds a Certified Fraud Examiner credential from the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. That qualification signals a grounding in fraud investigation, auditing techniques and forensic analysis. It also informs how he approaches complex fact patterns, particularly those that require reconstruction of financial records and careful interview work.
Throughout his career he has handled investigations, regulatory matters and litigation support that require coordination across offices and teams. He works with internal and external stakeholders, often serving as a bridge between in-house counsel, outside counsel and investigators. Colleagues describe his style as precise and deliberate. Clients value practical answers and clear roadmaps through thorny questions.
He joined Locke Lord LLP and practices from that platform. At the firm he brings together investigative tools and litigation experience to assist clients confronting allegations of fraud, compliance gaps and related disputes. His work can include document review, witness preparation and coordinating cross-jurisdictional discovery. He is comfortable managing the procedural and evidentiary challenges that arise when matters traverse state lines.
Outside of casework he remains engaged with the professional community and with continuing education tied to fraud examination and investigative techniques. He keeps current on regulatory developments and on evolving best practices for evidence preservation and analysis.
Paz remains based at Locke Lord LLP and practices in areas that require forensic inquiry and multi-jurisdictional coordination. His current practice centers on fraud examination and investigations across the states where he is admitted to practice.
