We try cases. Five to ten circuit court jury trials a year. One to five district court trials a month. You will likely be in a courtroom in your first month, and you will second chair a circuit court jury trial in your first year. Our commission rate is highest on cases resolved by verdict and lowest on cases resolved pre-suit. That is deliberate. We pay more for trying a case than for settling it because that is the practice we are building. Second chair is a defined designation with a written standard for graduating to first chair, not a vague promise that you will get trial experience eventually.

Family-owned, three generations, two-time Inc. 5000 honoree. You work directly with firm leadership. No committees, no partner track politics. Mark Herman has forty years of Maryland trial experience, and you will try cases with him. The work. You carry your own personal injury docket from complaint through resolution. Motions, depositions of treating physicians and defense experts, mediation, arbitration, and trial in District and Circuit Courts across Maryland. Primarily auto and premises liability, with a developing trucking and catastrophic-injury motorcycle component. The files that reach litigation here are the ones a carrier denied or lowballed. Maryland is a contributory negligence state, so contested liability is the work. On those files, the trial attorney decides the outcome, and you will be that attorney. Three litigation paralegals, a pre-litigation department, an investigations team, and bilingual intake handle records, liens, and scheduling. You practice law. Five days a week in person at 14 West Madison Street downtown, free parking. Trial teams prepare together, and that is the reason. Compensation: $110,000 to $135,000 base depending on experience, plus commission. Commission is a percentage of the firm's fee on every case you resolve, and it escalates by how far you advance the case: a base rate pre-suit, higher after suit is filed or at mediation, higher at arbitration, and the highest rate on a verdict that exceeds the controlling offer. You also earn 30% of the firm's fee on any case you independently originate. Exact rates are confirmed in your offer letter. Benefits: Health insurance with 80% of premiums employer-paid.
