In 2022, Brian was named a Leader in Law Honoree by The Daily Record and the Maryland State Bar Association. In 2020, Brian was selected as “Trial Lawyer of the Year” by the MAJ. The MAJ Trial Lawyer of the Year Award is bestowed annually upon the Maryland trial lawyer or team of trial lawyers who made the greatest contribution to the public interest by trying or settling a case of precedential value – precedential either because it changed the law in a way that is beneficial to Marylanders or has, for other reasons, “sent a message” to those who might otherwise trample upon the rights of Maryland citizens. Brian has been named as a Super Lawyer, and he has been selected as a member of both the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum and the prestigious Litigation Counsel of America.
