Firm: Price Benowitz LLP
Practice Areas: Personal Injury
I am an Associate Attorney with Price Benowitz LLP where I focus on personal injury law. I received my Juris Doctorate degree from American University Washington School of Law where I graduated cum laude. While there, I held an executive board position on the College’s Administrative Law Review, and my article, “Patenting Artificial Intelligence: An Administrative Look into the Future of Patent Law” was published in the Journal of High Technology Law at Suffolk Law School.. My legal career began when I worked as a criminal defense clerk for the Public Defenders Service for the District of Columbia which was followed by clerking for various criminal defense and personal injury firms in the Washington Metropolitan Area. I joined Price Benowitz’s personal injury department as a clerk in 2018 and was hired as an associate after being admitted to the Maryland Bar. Now also barred in Virginia, I bring my passion for law and his analytical mindset to each case. I always fight for the best results possible for my clients.

Firm: The Employment Law Group, P.C.
Practice Areas: Litigation, Appeals
Nicholas Woodfield is a seasoned trial attorney with almost 30 years of experience litigating cases. He specializes in civil litigation and appellate advocacy and focuses on representing clients in retaliation cases, along with cases involving discrimination, whistleblowers, qui tam actions, and wage non-payment and misclassification claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Mr. Woodfield is a founding partner at The Employment Law Group® law firm and is the firm’s general counsel.. Mr. Woodfield is known for his record of winning multiple retaliation cases under the federal Whistleblower Protection Act and other statutes. Other notable victories for clients include:. Mr. Woodfield has helped strengthen and even define laws protecting employees, such as laws that bolster the rights of employees to act collectively when their wages are unlawfully withheld. He has recovered millions in judgments and settlements for his clients, including a $1.13 million Wage Payment Act judgment and multiple seven-figure class action settlements.. Mr. Woodfield also works with clients who are the subjects of workplace investigations into their own conduct. He specializes in minimizing the damages and protecting their careers to avoid clients being disproportionately punished for their actions. “It’s gratifying to help decent people who have made some bad calls,” Mr. Woodfield says. “A mistake that snowballs horribly could easily happen to anyone. Our goal is to stop their lives from hitting a freefall.”. Mr. Woodfield’s significant work in representing employees has led to a peer-nominated fellowship in the prestigious College of Labor and Employment Lawyers.. In Mr. Woodfield’s opinion, his career started at just the right time and place to lay the foundation for this later success. He graduated with his law degree from Samford University in 1995 and began working for a firm in Birmingham, Alabama. At the time, there was a significant peak in civil lawsuits going to trial, which gave Mr. Woodfield ample opportunity to gain more trial experience than many of his peers. He tried (and won) his first jury trial about 60 days after beginning to work at the firm.. In 1999, Mr. Woodfield took a brief break to continue his education as a Visiting Postgraduate Student in Law at the University of Oxford in England. Afterwards, he moved to D.C. and went back to litigating cases, first at a different law firm and then at TELG. He found that his prior experience in Alabama gave him an edge in D.C., where many lawyers were not accustomed to going all the way to trial.. While Mr. Woodfield has many trial wins, he has succeeded just as much outside of the courtroom. Oftentimes, Mr. Woodfield turns the case in favor of his client during depositions. He considers his strategy in choosing when and what questions to ask to be a key advantage in unravelling the opposing argument with new evidence and subsequently reaching a settlement for clients.. Mr. Woodfield has spent decades refining his techniques and expanding his knowledge base to better serve his clients. His extensive experience proves useful in providing creative solutions and guiding clients through the otherwise complex and overwhelming field of employment law.. “Attempting to go through the legal process alone is akin to walking across the Mojave Desert after watching a YouTube video. You’re not prepared for the journey,” Mr. Woodfield says. “Yes, it’s possible you could do it, but it’s almost guaranteed to have a bad outcome. Our experience at TELG can help guide you.”. For over a decade, Mr. Woodfield has been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America and Super Lawyers for his work. Washingtonian Magazine and Northern Virginia magazine named Mr. Woodfield to their “Top Lawyers” lists, and Lawdragon ranked him one of the top 500 leading plaintiff-side employment lawyers in the U.S. His recognition extends to the media, where outlets frequently ask for his thoughts on employment law matters.. Mr. Woodfield is a member of the Federal Bar Association and the National Employment Lawyers Association. He was formerly the president of the Virginia Employment Lawyers Association for about eight years.. In the mornings before work, Mr. Woodfield wakes up early to go rowing on the Potomac river. Mr. Woodfield previously rowed during graduate school and picked up the hobby again, now rowing with the Potomac Boat Club. He is married with two kids and has a rescue dog named Wanda.. Mr. Woodfield is admitted to practice law in Alabama, Maryland, Virginia, D.C., and various federal courts including the United States Supreme Court.
