Schochor, Staton, Goldberg and Cardea

Founded in 1984, the Baltimore-based legal team behind one of the nation’s most successful medical malpractice and class action firms has built a powerful legacy representing victims of negligence and misconduct. With a seasoned trial team and a deep bench of legal and medical experts, the attorneys at this distinguished firm have consistently earned national and regional acclaim—recovering over a billion dollars for clients while setting legal precedent in Maryland and beyond.

Their work spans major medical malpractice claims, high-impact class actions, and mass tort litigation. The founding partners have received recognition from Best Lawyers in America, Super Lawyers, and Top 100 Lawyers, among dozens of other legal honors. Just as notably, their firm has played an influential role in shaping tort reform conversations, with their lawyers frequently called to testify before the Maryland State Legislature and speak at medical and legal education events.

With offices in both Baltimore and Washington, D.C., and special case admissions across multiple states, the firm continues to lead with integrity, precision, and an unwavering commitment to justice for injured plaintiffs.
