The Maryland-based law firm of Silverman Thompson is widely regarded as one of the premier law firms for litigation in the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area. The firm features a unique blend of the area's top lawyers with diverse backgrounds such as former state and federal prosecutors, a retired federal judge, a retired state supreme court judge and a law school dean.

Our Baltimore based litigation attorneys take on complex high-stakes civil litigation and high-profile criminal cases throughout the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area and the United States. Many of the firm’s diverse and interesting cases have been profiled in recent years by 60 Minutes, the Discovery Channel and other international media.

The firm’s seasoned attorneys spend hundreds, if not thousands, of hours in the courtroom each year. Nearly all of the firm’s civil litigators were “big firm” trained and recognized as established or rising stars prior to joining Silverman Thompson. The firm’s clients benefit from representation by lawyers who know the judiciary by practicing law on the front-line, not the side-line. The Baltimore litigation lawyers of the firm author leading treatises in the law including Jones on Evidence, Civil & Criminal(7th), Wiretapping and Eavesdropping, 3D: Surveillance in the Internet Age and The Maryland Evidence Handbook (4th).

Although the firm handles cases all across the United States, the firm’s approximately 40 lawyers are all based in a single office in downtown Baltimore.
