A Strategic and Compassionate Advocate in a Complex Employment Dispute

When my company faced a wrongful termination lawsuit from a former executive, the situation felt overwhelming. Hayes Edwards of Lerch, Early & Brewer provided exactly the guidance we needed. His deep knowledge of Maryland labor and employment law was immediately apparent, and his strategic approach to the litigation was masterful. Hayes meticulously prepared our defense, explaining complex legal concepts in clear terms. His recognition by Best Lawyers in this very field gave us immense confidence. The result was a highly favorable settlement that protected our business interests completely. Hayes is not just a brilliant litigator; he’s a trusted advisor who provides calm, professional counsel under pressure.
