  • Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs

These rankings recognize the firm’s work on behalf of plaintiffs in medical malpractice, personal injury and complex litigation.

What a Regional Tier 1 Ranking Means

Tier 1 is the highest tier awarded within the Best Law Firms regional rankings. Firms are evaluated by practice area and geographic region, making SSGC’s three honors specific to the Baltimore legal market.

According to the Best Law Firms methodology, rankings draw on client and professional reference evaluations, peer review and information submitted by law firms. The evaluation considers factors including legal experience, responsiveness and whether clients and other attorneys would recommend the firm.
