Acting Director Named To Harford County's Law Department

HARFORD COUNTY, MD — Meaghan Alegi has been named acting director of Harford County's law department following the departure of Melissa Lambert for a position with the sheriff’s office as director of legal affairs.

Lambert led the department the past eight years, including the reversal of a $45 million award to the developer of a proposed rubble landfill near Havre de Grace. Alegi lives in Bel Air and is a lifelong county resident. She earned her bachelor’s degree from what is now known as McDaniel College and her juris doctorate degree from the University of Baltimore School of Law. She was sworn into the Maryland Bar in 2003 and went into private practice before joining Harford County government in 2010.

Alegi has been Harford County’s senior assistant county attorney since 2013.
