Time flies. We rang in our 30th year in business in 2017. We wanted to celebrate—but not in the traditional sense. We didn’t want to throw a fancy party. We hoped to create something to show how much Baltimore means to us; to let each of you take a glimpse at what our passion projects are, beyond our work at the firm. So, if you take 30 seconds or 30 minutes, we implore you to read nearly 30 stories of how RMG’s attorneys and staff members give back to this community and help make it a better place. We are proud to be good corporate stewards, because “we get it”—Baltimore needs us, and we need Baltimore.

Kristy Wilgis | Captivate Christian Church
Why do you volunteer your time specifically with this organization? As a child, I personally saw the blessings and benefits of an outward-focused, faith-based ministry.

Brandon Mourges | Pro Bono Representation of Indigent Individual
How did your pro bono representation help someone? I recently assisted an unmarried couple living in Western Maryland.

The IRS was attempting to collect the tax and was seeking…
Kathy Martin | Academies of Fencing Baltimore
Why do you volunteer your time specifically with this organization?
