Downtown Baltimore is the home of prestigious law firm, SILVERMAN THOMPSON SLUTKIN WHITE ATTORNEYS AT LAW (STSW). This law firm takes on some of the most complex civil and criminal court cases. Their attorneys have spent hundreds, even thousands, of hours in Maryland courtrooms. All of this experience combines to benefit the needs of their clients.

Let's take a look at some of what this organization has been involved in. Back in September, a case in which STSW was involved, came to a settlement worth $383,536 while representing The League for People With Disabilities on a pro bono basis in a case against the City of Baltimore. The League is a charitable organization that provides a variety of services for individuals with physical, intellectual, and neurological disabilities.

The City of Baltimore had been mistakenly billing an excessive amount for water and sewer services, in the belief that a large size meter had been installed at the facility. The settlement included a dollar-for-dollar payment of the excess charge of $245,000 back to the league, with additional adjustments to correct other overcharges. This is among the services that this law firm provides for charity organizations.

In November, Managing Partner of STSW, Steven Silverman received an award from his alma mater, the 2016 University of Baltimore School of Law Dean's Award. The award is given annually to "an alumna or alumnus who has demonstrated extraordinary service, commitment and dedication to the law school. Congratulations, sir!

STSW Partner Bill Sinclair was invited to be part of a panel discussion on sports concussion injuries hosted by The Virginia Sports and Entertainment Law Journal at the University of Virginia Law School. Of course, this particular issue has been in the news, with research showing that repeated head concussions can lead to permanent disability and brain damage. Mr. Sinclair has been a co-lead plaintiffs' counsel in the NHL concussions matters.

Other panelists were Jon Taylor, primary author of the case of 34 NFL players opposed to the NFL concussion settlement, and Dan Werli, an experienced attorney and sports writer who writes a sports blog and contributes to Sports Illustrated's The Cauldron. The discussion pertained to the concussion litigation against the NFL, NCAA, and NHL, and a look at the future in litigation in this area.

Obviously, this is only a sample of the expertise and cases that STSW has undertaken. But if these events are any indication, they will continue to represent their clients with the best services available.
