Brown, Goldstein & Levy names new managing partner

Brown, Goldstein & Levy has announced that Managing Partner Sharon Krevor-Weisbaum will retire at the end of 2024 and that partner Jessie Weber will succeed her.

Weber is a litigator who is known nationally for her work obtaining equal access for individuals with disabilities to voting, education, websites, and government information and services. She has argued before the 4th, 6th, 9th and D.C. Circuit Courts of Appeals.

Weber has served on the boards of the ACLU of Maryland and FreeState Justice, Maryland’s statewide LGBTQ equality group. She is Disability Rights Maryland’s board president and is a permanent member of the 4th Circuit Judicial Conference. She attended Princeton University and received her J.D. from Yale Law School.

Krevor-Weisbaum started at the firm as a law clerk in her second year of law school, when BGL had two partners, two associates, and a few staff members. In 2000, she returned to BGL after 11 years at the Office of the Attorney General of Maryland, becoming the firm’s first managing partner in January 2016.

Krevor-Weisbaum has worked with a wide range of clients but is perhaps best known for her work on behalf of individuals with disabilities and her representation of nonprofit and for-profit entities that provide support and services to individuals with disabilities.

Since her first days at BGL, the firm has grown from just a handful of attorneys and staff members to a full team of 22 attorneys practicing nationally in a variety of areas from commercial litigation to civil rights to criminal defense.
