The Law Office of Suzanne M. Tsintolas is an experienced boutique firm dedicated to advising and representing those with valid workplace discrimination, harassment, defamation, and hostile work environment claims. We assist clients to ensure all required administrative processes are satisfied, and we exhaustively seek out solutions prior to instituting a lawsuit through pro-active negotiations and mediation in an effort to resolve disputes amicably. In the event such efforts fail, we aggressively pursue justice on behalf of our clients, fully exercising all rights under the law in federal and state courts.
Because it is a small firm, the Law Office of Suzanne M. Tsintolas provides unrivaled accessibility and personalized service to its clients. You are not a faceless client being passed around a huge brass-and-glass legal practice, waiting for days before someone--anyone, returns your call or email. We understand it is rare that a client seeks out an attorney for a wellness-check. More often than not, you are new to the world of litigation and you have questions, needs, and worries. We understand, and are here for you. Understanding the process can help ease the anxiety, and our goal is to continually collaborate with our clients to achieve the highest level of success.
The Law Office of Suzanne M. Tsintolas takes great pride in the quality of legal services consistently offered. From a $600,000 jury award in Montgomery County Circuit Court in an age/sex discrimination case, to developing and expanding caselaw related to civil negligent misrepresentation in pre-employment negotiations in the State of Maryland, to pro bono/volunteer work with the homeless, our successes in and out of the courtroom have touched the lives of many in our communities. We strive to continue to improve the state of the law related to protecting those most vulnerable and look forward to working with and providing service to our clients in the future.
You are not alone. We will help you find your way.
