Case Studies

Downtown Silver Spring has experienced tremendous growth and redevelopment over the last 20 years.

In July 2014, Gallagher attorney Peter Keith was appointed by the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland to serve as Receiver of over 17 business entities sued by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission for engaging in fraudulent and deceptive sales practices.

The Center for Pregnancy Concerns is a Baltimore-based, private, nonprofit agency that helps pregnant women with counseling and support services. The Center does not perform abortions, or provide abortion referrals. In 2009, Baltimore City passed an Ordinance that would have forced the Center to post a “disclaimer” about the free services it provided. After extensive discovery, legal briefing, and oral arguments, Gallagher won a final, unanimous ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, which struck down the Ordinance as unconstitutional.
