Litigating in Baltimore City requires a specific kind of toughness and local insight. Whether we are appearing in the Circuit Court on Calvert Street or the federal courthouse on Lombard, we know the landscape. We focus on representing professionals who have been illegally pushed out after reporting discrimination, seeking FMLA leave, or blowing the whistle on unsafe practices.
We are not a "volume" firm; we are a litigation boutique. That means when we take a Baltimore case, we are committing to a partnership with the client, backed by the financial resources and legal experience to take on the city’s largest employers and their law firms.
Baltimore is a city of institutions—hospitals, universities, and massive logistics hubs. But even the biggest names in the city, from Johns Hopkins to the major shipping players, are not above the law. We’ve seen how urban corporate culture can sometimes breed hostile environments or lead to retaliatory firings when an employee dares to speak up.
