Elisha Nicole Hawk
Jenner Law, P.C.
Elisha N. Hawk became a partner with Jenner Law, P.C. in 2023, focusing her practice on advocating for people and families who have been injured by the abuse and neglect of others. Her practice focuses on cases involving personal injury, mass torts, therapy abuse, clergy abuse, and nursing home abuse and neglect.
Elisha started her career as an associate working under Jenner Law, P.C.’s founding partner, Rob Jenner, where she represented people who had been harmed by dangerous drugs and devices. She gained significant experience handling pharmaceutical and defective medical device cases under Rob’s mentorship. Following her work on the mass tort pain pump and Lipitor litigations, she went on to try medical malpractice and nursing home cases. Over the course of her more than 15 years in practice, she has proven to be a zealous advocate for her clients, both inside and out of the courtroom. She values client trust and strives always to achieve the best results for her clients, above and beyond anything else. She is a fierce advocate for those who have had their trust betrayed, whether by a nursing home, a health care provider, a member of the clergy, or anyone who would abuse their power.
Elisha has been recognized for her accomplishments in the legal community by numerous outlets. When the multidistrict litigation related to contaminated steroids from New England Compounding Pharmacy was created, Elisha was selected to be the state chair for cases in Maryland. In 2014, she was honored as a “leading woman” by the Maryland Daily Record. She also shares her legal knowledge by authoring articles in various publications including the Maryland Association for Justice’s Trial Reporter and the Maryland Daily Record. In addition, Elisha was selected to the Super Lawyers Rising Star list for years 2013 – 2018, Super Lawyers for years 2020 – 2023, and Best Lawyers in the area of Personal Injury Litigation for 2024.
