Elijah Adkins Lawyer Reviews & Ratings - Baltimore

Elijah Adkins Bio
Until 2002, E. Dale Adkins, III was one of Maryland's leading defense lawyers, representing both doctors and hospitals in medical malpractice cases, particularly cases involving brain injured children. During his decades spent for the defense, he acquired an intimate knowledge of medicine and how serious injury cases are evaluated and defended by insurance companies. Now, he applies that knowledge on behalf of injured plaintiffs seeking damages. Knowing how the other side thinks gives Mr. Adkins and his clients a distinct advantage. He believes that imagination- the ability to find a different and better way to communicate ideas to a jury- is the key to success. Since joining SCBMA, he has obtained several multi-million dollar jury verdicts, including a $17.4 million dollar jury verdict in the District of Columbia.. Mr. Adkins comes from a family of lawyers and judges in Salisbury, the heart of Maryland's lower Eastern Shore. He has always had a keen interest in teaching, a talent he believes is critical to a jury lawyer. Additionally, Mr. Adkins lectures each year at a graduate-level course for physicians at Johns Hopkins. He is listed in Best Lawyers in America and has been recognized as one of Baltimore's Best Lawyers in Baltimore Magazine. In 1996, he was invited to become a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, a society comprised of the top 1% of trial lawyers in the United States and Canada.
