You can fight this.
When your employer crosses the line, we help you stand up for your rights—and take your power back.
Small but mighty.
FORTIS IS PROUDLY DIFFERENT
At Fortis Employment Law, we’re built differently. We don’t run a case factory or chase volume—we take on real Maryland workers with real stories, and we fight to win them justice.
We only practice in Maryland because we believe local knowledge wins cases. We know the judges, agencies, and employers here—and we know how to make your story cut through the noise. Did you know your case can be worth more in Prince George’s or Montgomery County because of higher damage limits? We do.
Every client gets a tailored strategy. Every case gets attorney attention. No cookie-cutter filings, no recycled arguments—just focused, strategic representation designed to hit where it counts.
Because real justice isn’t one-size-fits-all—and neither are we.
That level of candor built a strong sense of trust. Knowledgeable, communicative, trustworthy, and genuinely client-focused.

Maryland's wrongful termination lawyers
THE MARYLAND EMPLOYMENT ATTORNEYS
At Fortis Employment Law, we help Maryland employees stand up to discrimination, harassment, and wrongful termination. We believe that everyone deserves a workplace built on respect—not fear or intimidation.
You don’t need deep pockets or powerful connections to get justice. You need an advocate who knows the ins and outs of the U.S Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights (MCCR), and Maryland's state and federal courts. That’s what we do.
Our attorneys have earned a reputation for results—recovering millions of dollars in settlements and recognition for our work on behalf of employees across Maryland. Whether you’re facing retaliation, unequal treatment, or a hostile work environment, we’ll guide you through every step with honesty, strategy, and strength.
Because at Fortis, we build cases for employees—not corporations.
