Federal Court Litigation

O’Malley, Miles, Nylen & Gilmore, P.A.’s Calverton office is located just minutes from the U.S. Courthouse in Greenbelt and provides easy access for the Firm’s well-established federal practice in that court. Our litigators represent clients in the trial and appellate federal courts for the State of Maryland and the District of Columbia, including the bankruptcy courts. In addition to representing our own clients in the federal courts, our litigators are often called upon to serve as local counsel for out-of-state firms and clients involved in federal cases. Our attorneys’ experience and familiarity with the federal system and the local rules make these partnerships extremely advantageous to out-of-state clients and practitioners.

Real Estate-Related Litigation

The Litigation Practice Group attorneys have experience in many types of real estate-related litigation, including sales contract and title disputes, land use and zoning disputes, broker commission disputes, foreclosures, bankruptcy lift-stays, condemnation cases, tax assessment appeals, mechanic’s liens, environmental claims, and title insurance claims.

Bank and Lender Litigation

Landlord/Tenant Litigation

Our attorneys handle matters ranging from the negotiation of lease disputes to the litigation of possessory actions and the pursuit of collection cases. When necessary, our experienced litigations also represent our clients’ interests in the pursuit of relief in bankruptcy cases.

Discrimination and Employment Litigation

Our Firm handles employment and discrimination cases on behalf of both employers and employees. Our practice spans all forms of discrimination, whether that discrimination be based on age, gender, sex, race, religion, or national origin.

Of particular note in the area of employment discrimination is the landmark case of Meritor Savings Bank, F.S.B. v. Vinson, 477 U.S. 57 (1986), argued before the United States Supreme Court in 1986 by F. Robert Troll, Jr. This case is significant not only for the successful result obtained for the client, but also because at the time it was the first sexual harassment case to come before the United States Supreme Court.
