November 12, 2021 Congrats to Stephen Scott, MaryJo Roberts, and the entire trial team from the Kullman Firm on their defense jury verdict in an employment case in Greenbelt, MD. This case involved race discrimination against General Dynamics/CSRA; and the jury, led by a school administrator, got it absolutely right as counsel stayed on message and hit the winning themes. It was a privilege and a pleasure to play a role in their success story. And kudos to the trial jury for their time and service as well as to the Judge and the Court staff for keeping the wheels of justice moving.
