Contributions And Awards At Kramon & Graham

Kramon & Graham awarded with Maryland Legal Aid's Equal Justice Trailblazer Award.

Located in downtown Baltimore, just a few blocks away from the Inner Harbor, is a law firm that has been in business since 1975, with an excellent reputation, Kramon & Graham P. A.. Especially known for its expertise in handling complex litigation, this firm has grown and diversified throughout the years. Not only does this firm provide excellent legal services, but it is known for its participation in cultural, charitable, and various legal services organizations.

In mid-February, Jeffrey H. Scherr, Esq., principal in the law firm, was elected as president of the board of directors of the Greater Maryland Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association. Cass Naugle, Executive Director of the Chapter, commented, "We are thrilled that Jeff is expanding his leadership with the Alzheimer's Association. An instrumental member of the board since 2010, he brings decades of top leadership experience through his exceptional professional skill and his role on many of Maryland's most influential nonprofit boards and successful fundraising committees."



Certainly, with all of his networking connections that he built throughout his career and public service, Mr. Scherr brings the ability to help get the Greater Maryland Chapter better known around central Maryland. Mr. Scherr described the personal meaning of his election, "Serving as the Alzheimer's Association board president is very personal for me. Having direct experience with this devastating disease, I have personally witnessed the effective work of Alzheimer's Association. I have seen the unwavering commitment of the professionals, staff, and volunteers to ease the pain of all who suffer - from the individuals who are diagnosed with Alzheimer's, to their families and caregivers. I cannot image a more worthwhile goal than working toward a world without Alzheimer's. The work is both humbling and inspiring."

Every year The Daily Record names Maryland's Top 100 Women, from a selection of women nominated. This year 435 women were nominated. But those who are nominated are not just successful in their careers; it takes more than that to score a nomination. The Daily Record publisher,  Suzanne Fisher-Huettner, explains, "Maryland's Top 100 Women have achieved amazing accomplishments in their careers, but to be honored as a Top 100 Woman requires more than just career success. She must be an exemplary citizen, committed to her community, creating change and growing the next generation of leaders through active mentoring."

Brian S. Goodman, Principal at Kramon & Graham, also directed  the Young Vic, with outreach students, who received free tickets to the July 16 show.

It turns out that one of Kramon & Graham's own, Amy E. Askew, was selected to the Top 100. What an honor! Natalie McSherry, litigation principal, discusses what make Ms. Askew so qualified, "I am delighted that Amy has been selected for this statewide honor. I have had the pleasure of working with Amy for more than sixteen years. She is a dynamic lawyer dedicated to the success of her clients, and an outstanding mentor. With her many qualifications and contributions, she is an excellent choice for this recognition."

Ms. Askew's areas of concentration are in representing rail and health care industries and professionals. She also has defended companies in class-action litigation. She, along with the others selected will be honored at a reception on April 24 at Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. Congratulations!
