Maryland Labor and Employment Law Services

Effective, 9/4/23,  I am returning to private practice as Of Counsel to the Law Office of Andrew Dansicker.   I am leaving my position as Assistant County Attorney for Baltimore County role did not provide me the flexibility that I enjoyed in my law firm. I determined that it was not a good role for me because of my preference to represent workers and small businesses.

During my employment with the County, one of the first cases assigned to me was a multi-million dollar jury trial claim against 5 Baltimore County police officers alleging the use of excessive force in making an arrest.  It was my understanding that the County had not been successful in defending such claims against police officers, After a five day jury trial, I was successful is defending the County and the officers in all claims alleged in the 17 counts. complaint. I had not previously defended police in such matters. If you are seeking legal representation on employment matters or any related cases, feel free to contact me at (410) 299-6071 to schedule a consultation.
