The Employment Law Center of Maryland team was prompt and very professional in all phases of my case. I really appreciated their attention to detail from beginning to end. This was the first time I was in need of an attorney and never felt as though I were lost or not informed at any point. They took the time to really listen to my claim during the consultation and after we decided to move forward with the case, all of the steps were outlined and explained so I was aware of the process and what to expect. The team was very professional and personable. I will certainly refer any of my colleagues who may be in need of legal assistance. Thanks again for all of your hard work and help!

I spoke to several attorneys about my case. The Employment Law Center of Maryland team were the first to listen to me. They put my mind at ease. They answered my questions and helped reassure me of the eventual outcome. Their communication throughout the process kept me in the loop. Whenever I thought about the case's progress, I received an email or a phone call with an update. I always felt like I knew what was going on. I will not hesitate to refer anyone to them.

Proudly unconventional.

You'll find fierce litigators here. And nerds. Dog moms. Amateur bakers. Hikers. Gamers. We're authentically us, and always on your side.
