An energetic and passionate advocate, Jared maintains a diverse civil litigation and tax controversy practice. He supports the firm’s business, real estate, healthcare, and non-profit clients with contract and tort disputes, creditors’ rights and bankruptcy matters, and tax and tax assessment issues and appeals. A lifelong learner, Jared builds trust with clients by striving to learn every facet of the operations of their business and exploring new areas of the law to support those clients. He works relentlessly to gain a command of relevant factual and legal issues to obtain strong results.
In addition to helping clients resolve some of their most challenging disputes, Jared devotes significant time to pro bono work. Recently, he won a post-conviction case, which led to the release of a client serving life imprisonment.
Prior to joining the firm, Jared completed the University of Maryland Francis King Carey’s Law School evening program in three years, while also working full-time as an acquisition professional in the defense industry. After law school, Jared completed two judicial clerkships, serving first as a law clerk to the Honorable Sally D. Adkins of the Maryland Court of Appeals and then as a law clerk to the Honorable George L. Russell, III of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland.
