Our Team

Lorraine Lawrence-Whittaker leads the firm calling upon her 28 years of intensive trial and litigation work. After a brief award-winning stint as a legal journalist for The Daily Record, Ms. Lawrence-Whittaker jumped into the fire of working for a high-pressure, high-end plaintiff’s firm that litigated major business fraud and medical malpractice cases against the likes of Ernst & Young, LLP, Bell Atlantic and Bristol-Myers Squibb. Ms. Lawrence-Whittaker was an associate on the team that secured a $185,000,000 settlement from Ernst & Young in the Merry-Go-Round bankruptcy malpractice case and was the primary associate on a medical device case that garnered a $10,000,000 verdict in DC Federal Court against Bristol-Myers Squibb. Ms. Lawrence-Whittaker was fortunate to be mentored by Arnold Weiner, Esquire and Jonathan Portner, Esquire who have continued to graciously answer when called.

Most recently, Ms. Lawrence-Whittaker and of Counsel, Edward J. Brown, have teamed up for trial verdicts of $20.3 million against Rite Aid and $2.129 million against Asplundh Tree Expert, LLC.

Since 2004 Ms. Lawrence-Whittaker has been the managing member of a Maryland based firm where she has litigated cases in the federal, state and administrative courts of Maryland and the District of Columbia, where she is licensed. She is a sought after trial counsel for cases in other jurisdictions including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia, among others in personal injury, criminal, family law, estates and trusts, business and real property litigation.

Among her most unusual clients is Maryland’s own “Anna’s Bandit”, the “Winningest Thoroughbred of North America of 2019.” Ms. Lawrence-Whittaker was delighted to represent this special equine twice before the Maryland Racing Commission.
