Mangione met Friday with attorney Karen Agnifilo and her husband Marc Agnifilo, also an attorney. He also met with Pennsylvania lawyer Thomas Dickey. Meanwhile, investigators at where Mangione is being held in Blair County, Pennsylvania, say he has not been visited by any family members.
Agnifilo will represent Mangione as he faces a second-degree murder charge in New York for the Dec. 4 shooting in Manhattan, a spokesperson for Friedman Agnifilo confirmed.
Agnifilo previously worked as a chief deputy prosecutor in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office for seven years and has experience in the New York City criminal justice system. She has worked in private practice for three years at Agnifilo Intrater LLP.
HOW UNITEDHEALTHCARE CEO GUNMAN’S GUN COULD WORK AGAINST HIM AND TO THE ADVANTAGE OF THE POLICE

Meanwhile, Dickey is a longtime trial attorney in Pennsylvania, where he has more than 40 years of experience.
The news of Friedman Agnifilo representing Mangione comes after investigators determined that the 3D printed gun Mangione had in his possession during his arrest matched the three shell casings found at the crime scene in Midtown Manhattan. His fingerprints also matched those found on items near the scene of the shooting.

The suspect also faces charges in Pennsylvania for carrying a gun without a license, forgery, falsely identifying himself to authorities and possessing “instruments of crime.” New York prosecutors also charged him with three counts of illegal weapons possession and forgery, in addition to the murder charge.
Mangione's lawyers have denied his client is responsible for the New York killing and believe he will plead not guilty in the Big Apple to the murder charge and other charges. Mangione also plans to plead not guilty to charges in Pennsylvania related to possession of a firearm and fake IDs authorities say were found on him when he was arrested, according to Dickey.

The suspect appeared to be motivated by frustration over health insurance industry and alleged “corporate greed,” police said, although he is not an insured member of UnitedHealthcare.
Mangione's family released a statement saying they were “devastated” by Luigi's arrest, but they have yet to address the situation further.
