About Wayne
Biography
My passion in life is to help children and families who have been seriously injured by the careless conduct of others. Partnered with two doctors and a registered nurse who became lawyers, I pursue this passion in the courtroom by representing birth injured children and others who have been needlessly injured by negligence. By the grace of God, my partners and I have had substantial success for our clients in Maryland and across the United States.
I have received an AV Peer Review Rating from Martindale-Hubbell. An AV rating is the highest rating available from Martindale-Hubbell for ranking a lawyer’s ethics and legal ability and reflects the confidential opinions of members of the Bar and the Judiciary. I have also been recognized as among "Maryland's Top Lawyers" for 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009 in Super Lawyers Magazine and was honored to receive a Maryland Daily Record, "Leadership in Law" Award in 2009.
