Greg Care advocates for his clients in a diverse array of civil litigation and appeals, including employment matters, personal torts, business disputes, family law, and disability rights cases representing persons with disabilities facing barriers to physical accessibility and access to technology. In every case, Greg tailors his approach to each client’s particular situation and goals to achieve the best possible result.

The protection of employees’ rights is a priority for Greg. For years, he has dedicated a substantial part of his practice to representing resident physicians facing discipline during their training and advising other medical professionals in disputes with their employers. Greg knows graduate medical education and academic medicine, as well as the difficulties that can arise and their solutions. He uses that understanding to ensure that his clients’ careers continue to grow.

Greg also works hard to achieve the equality that the law promises. He has enforced the rights of persons with disabilities in cutting-edge litigation and negotiations. As counsel to the National Council on Independent Living and one of the firm’s attorneys representing the National Federation of the Blind, Greg continues to press for his clients’ right to independently live in the world.

Greg was selected for the 2018 Maryland Super Lawyers list. Only five percent of the lawyers in Maryland are chosen for inclusion in the Super Lawyers list each year.

A client of Greg’s recently wrote: “A good lawyer is like a brain surgeon. You don’t want one until you need one, and when you need one you want the best. Greg Care is without a doubt among the best. His attention to detail, determination, and conceptualization of tackling difficult cases is superb. He has pertinent experience and expertise particularly in dealing with medical resident cases which is uniquely valuable.” 

Greg is admitted to the bars of Maryland and District of Columbia, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, and the Fourth and Ninth Circuits.

Prior to joining the firm, Greg served as the 2007-08 Francis D. Murnaghan, Jr. Appellate Advocacy Fellow at the Public Justice Center in Baltimore, where he sought relief for the underrepresented on a diverse array of civil rights and anti-poverty issues. He also clerked for the Honorable Glenn T. Harrell, Jr. on the Court of Appeals of Maryland.

Assertive timely counseling and guidance
I needed timely guidance navigating NRMP waiver, and Mr. Gregory Care responded to my request within hours of first contacting his office. He walked me through the entire process, demonstrating his vast knowledge in the matter. He provided guidance on how to address my situation and reviewed all pertinent documents inside and outside paid time. I would highly recommend Mr. Care for NRMP waiver requests, regardless of the underlying reason for the waiver.

Resident due process.
I consulted Attorney Care after my residency program dismissed me for irrelevant reasons. Most importantly he helped in preparing a a letter in response to the dismissal. He had good fund of knowledge regarding evaluations and was aware of ACGME and had experience of helping many other residents in similar situations. Eventually we reached a Settlement and the hospital agreed on writing me a reasonable letter and formal agreement was reached including being compensated for the time spent finding another residency. Most importantly he cares about his clients and is always there for them.

Fantastic support for a resident physician threatened with termination
When I hired him to help me fight a non-promotion and threat of academic probation/termination from my residency, Greg was extremely professional and made himself available to meet tight deadlines with little notice. He knows the ins and outs of ACGME residency program requirements and he effectively used his knowledge and experience to help me attain success in my appeal, a process that is heavily weighted to favor the program director/hospital and not the resident physician. Without Greg, I would not have had the time nor understanding of the complex rules that govern ACGME residencies, to win my promotion in residency. I would recommend him to any resident physician facing similar threats and hire him again in an instant.

A Lifeline to Residents
After spending my entire life dedicated to my medical education, with a debt of 300,000 dollars on my shoulders alone, I was hardly prepared for the unfair trials that I would face during my first year residency training, including the wrongful termination that left me traumatized and utterly shocked.  No one trains you for this day. No one tells you that residents have no protection and are very disposable. The system is not designed to benefit us, even though it is supposedly dedicated to training us.  As a resident physician, I have learned that it is a privilege for patients to trust me, a complete stranger, in a time when they feel scared, out of control, out of their element and vulnerable. After all, it is someone else’s life in my hands.  In this same way, I found my life in Greg Care’s hands, during a time when I had no choice but to trust him, a complete stranger, when I was scared, out of control, out of my element and vulnerable. My life was in good hands and in good hands it shall stay.  Greg Care is a trusted confidant who respects the vulnerable place in which we seemingly end up in with absolute disbelief. He is a man of business who does not waste time with small talk. His work speaks for itself. He has a depth of experiential knowledge that is clearly recognized in his concise communication and its tactful delivery.  He has an honest accountability to the costs of the already financially challenged resident.  Greg Care is someone I would recommend without hesitation. He is a lifeline to residents when no one else can hear and they have become a castaway.

Invaluable Resource
I hired Mr Care to help me navigate the labyrinthine bureaucracy of a residency dismissal. He was knowledgeable, steady, kind and effective. He helped me through GME, university, and specialty specific legal requirements; connected me with local lawyers when needed, and ultimately helped me get the dismissal reversed. I would strongly recommend his legal assistance to anyone in similar circumstances.

Powerful, honest employment lawyer
Mr. Care helped me settle a wrongful termination case while in residency in which the decision was overturned and I finished my training. He then helped me settle a contract dispute in which my employer eventually held up the contract. He is wonderful at communication, honest and gives you a clear picture of the possible outcomes. He is thorough, precise and very detail oriented. I recommend him to anyone who needs an employment lawyer. His firm is top notch.

Precision and Expertise
No medical or surgical resident ever wants to go through an unwarranted termination. Greg Care was hired by myself on short notice for such a case. Together we worked on creating a solid legal foundation to which to stand on, and with his help a reversal of the decision for termination was decided. I was beyond blessed to have someone who understands not just legal structure, but also the specifics with regards to medical education and residency training. My case was a complete success, and I would not have been standing proud today where I am without his help.

Excellent Experience with Greg
I had never worked with a lawyer prior to Greg and was referred to him after several calls to various law firms. Greg helped me with a case of academic matter at the graduate level. Greg made me feel supported and at ease, while being logical, methodical, and the utmost professional through every course of action. He consulted with me throughout the entire process. Had I not had Greg as my advocate, I'm not sure the situation would have ended in my favor. If future concerns arise requiring legal representation, Greg would be the first person I would go to.
