Legal Services & Lawyers

I am a driven attorney who learns quickly, understands clients' goals to achieve efficient results, and is eager to continue growing professionally. I endeavor to solve clients' problems, preferably by counseling them to improve profitability through innovative solutions and reduce legal and regulatory risks, but also through cost-effective litigation when necessary. Outside of work, I strive to improve my community through leadership in various activities and bringing ideas to life. I enjoy getting the most out of life by being active professionally, in my community, and with my family, committed to achieving success in each, balancing all.

Recommendations For Justin
"Justin is above all, a quality individual with a strong work ethic. As an associate, I found him to be quite intuitive and a very strong researcher. Justin was very creative in his research; often finding other approaches not previously thought of when the assignment was provided. He would quickly get the answers to the questions posed and would also provide the contrary arguments that one could expect. He is very efficient and his written work was of the highest quality." Partner, Whitney & Bogris, LLP

"Justin was one of the most dedicated and talented interns I worked with during my clerkship. Not only was he able to quickly identify and address the key issues in the cases on which he worked, but also he writes quickly and clearly. In essence, he required little supervision and his work needed few revisions. Having already mastered several of the attributes of a seasoned attorney, Justin has a promising career ahead of him and it was a pleasure working with him." Law Clerk , U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland
