Partners Thomas Lambert and Joshua Auxier filed a petition for a writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, seeking to resolve a critical legal issue that has emerged in employment law.

FLB Law is pleased to announce that nine of its attorneys were selected to the 2025 Best Lawyers and Ones to Watch. This is an exclusive honor given to only 5.3% of practicing attorneys who receive nominations from their colleagues.

Additionally, he has been recognized in the Family Law Arbitration category.
A recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling will make it easier for employees to bring discrimination claims against their employers for job transfers and other lateral job changes. In Muldrow v. City of St. Louis, the high court held that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibits discriminatory job transfers even if the transfer does not cause “significant harm” to the employee. In ruling that an employee need only show “some harm” with respect to an identifiable term or condition of employment, the court may have opened the door to a broader scope of bias lawsuits.
FLB Law Partner Joshua Auxier prevailed in a matter in Harford Superior Court that resulted in the plaintiff withdrawing the case just a few days after Josh filed a motion for summary judgment.
