Edward Lake

Edward Lake is one of the founding partners of Gacovino Lake. Mr. Lake grew up working in the garment center in New York City. While learning the various aspects of running a clothing manufacturer, he gained the experience and skills that would ultimately pave the way for founding and running one of the largest Mass Tort practices in the country.

Mr. Lake earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of Maryland in College Park, and then he went on to hold several sales and marketing positions in the high-technology and manufacturing industries. After approximately ten years, Mr. Lake enrolled in the Jacob B. Fuchsburg School of Law at Touro College in Huntington Long Island, New York. While attending, he served on the staff of the Law Review and was presented the prestigious Jacob B. Fuchsburg Oral Advocate Award. It was also there that he would meet his fellow classmate and future business partner, Mr. Gacovino.

Shortly after graduating law school, Mr. Lake and Mr. Gacovino formed the Law Offices of Gacovino and Lake in Suffolk County, New York for the general practice of law. Over the next few years, the firm began to handle more accident cases and less other areas of practice. Through Mr. Lake’s keen vision and savvy marketing, this trend continued and the firm eventually decided that it could serve its clients best by focusing on accidents.
