GAITHERSBURG, Md. - BostonChron -- Berman | Sobin | Gross LLP (BSG), one of Maryland's most respected workers' compensation and personal injury law firms, marks its 35th anniversary in 2026, a milestone that reflects more than three decades of tireless advocacy for injured workers and their families across the region.

Founded in February 1991 by attorneys Ken Berman, Cliff Sobin, and Alan Gross in a single Gaithersburg office with just three attorneys and a small support staff, BSG has grown into a powerhouse of more than 20 attorneys with offices located throughout Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia. What began as a focused practice built on personal relationships and a commitment to union workers has evolved into a full-service firm handling workers' compensation, personal injury, medical malpractice, car and truck accidents, and more, all without losing the individualized attention that set it apart from day one.

That commitment to client care is reflected in the voices of the people BSG serves. The firm has earned over 350 positive reviews across Google and its website, with clients consistently praising the team's responsiveness, integrity, and willingness to go above and beyond. It is a track record of trust built one case and one client at a time over 35 years.

BSG's influence extends well beyond the courtroom. Founding partner Cliff Sobin authored the two-volume treatise "Maryland Workers' Compensation," a comprehensive legal resource spanning more than 1,800 pages that has become an essential reference for attorneys practicing in the field. The firm has also been recognized with prestigious honors, including U.S. News & World Report's Best Law Firms designation and Baltimore Magazine's Top Lawyers distinction, most recently awarded to partner Ari Laric in 2026.

The firm's dedication to community is equally central to its identity. BSG team members regularly volunteer with organizations like Food & Friends in Washington, D.C., preparing and packaging meals for individuals living with serious illnesses. The firm has also championed local heroes through its participation in the Do-Gooder Awards, where BSG presented the Public Safety Do-Gooder Award to Corporal Jestin Joseph of the Frederick Police Department, and attended the Hagerstown Public Safety Awards recognizing the courage of first responders across Washington County.

Investing in the next generation of legal professionals is another hallmark of the firm. BSG's Law Clerk Program offers law students hands-on experience working alongside seasoned attorneys on real cases across its Baltimore, Frederick, and Montgomery County offices, providing mentorship, practical skill development, and exposure to multiple areas of law.

As BSG enters its next chapter, the firm remains anchored in the values that launched it 35 years ago: aggressive, knowledgeable representation paired with genuine compassion for every client who walks through the door. For the workers, families, firefighters, law enforcement officers, teachers, and union members who have trusted BSG with their most difficult moments, the firm's growth is proof that doing right by people is the strongest foundation a practice can build on.
