Mr. Oswald took my case to trial against a large pharmaceutical company. Only Mr. Oswald could have presented my case as expertly as he did. The depth of his preparation was astonishing – he literally knew my case (what had really happened to me) better than did I, who of course had lived through ...

Scott represented me in a discrimination case. He was thoughtful, prepared, and so knowledgeable on what needed to be done. He stuck with the case through the pandemic and through defense stalling until we finally got to trial. At trial, he was 2 steps ahead of the defense every day, worked until ...

I was recently (from 2015 to 2019) involved in a very publicized Qui tam/whistleblower case as a "Relator" for and with the U.S. Government. I was represented by Scott and TELG as my primary counsel. Throughout the lengthy process, Scott and the TELG team were exceptional. I was kept informed as e...
"Attorney Oswald is a committed professional who is dedicated to helping his clients through every aspect of their legal process. I had the privilege to work with Attorney Oswald on a matter and was continually impressed by his commitment to his clients, his ability to stay focused under extreme pressure and his continued communication through every aspect of the case. I highly recommend him and I endorse his amazing work."
"Scott Oswald, with his colleague, Jason Zuckerman, recently presented a discussion on Whistleblower laws for the Bar Association of Montgomery County, Maryland. I found Scott's presentation to be very informative, even for the more experienced bar members. More importantly, I found Scott had the one trait, necessary for an outstanding litigator. He had the ability to discuss complex subjects in simple terms. He can do so without belaboring a point, which I suspect is why several juries have found his closing arguments compelling."
