Trevor Coe has joined Brown, Goldstein & Levy, of Baltimore, where as an associate he has worked in disability rights litigation, especially regarding accommodations for high-stakes testing, general commercial litigation, employment law, and disputes under the Randolph-Sheppard Act.

During law school, Coe interned with a U.S. District Court judge in the Eastern District of New York and at the Federal Trade Commission, where he assisted in consumer protection and antitrust investigations. As part of a law school clinic, he represented low-income consumers and taxpayers in litigation with creditors and the IRS.

Before entering law school, he was a writer and editor in the higher education field, working in print and digital media; he also co-founded a journal of art and literature.

Coe’s great-grandfather taught at the University of Maryland School of Law, his grandfather was in private practice in Baltimore and graded the state bar exam for many years, and his father, Ward B. Coe III, has won awards for his pro bono work.
