Baltimore, Maryland – Three attorneys at Brown & Barron have been selected to the 2027 Maryland Super Lawyers list, and a fourth has been named to the 2027 Maryland Rising Stars list.

The firm’s 2027 Super Lawyers honorees are:

Leah K. Barron, founding partner and managing attorney, recognized for personal injury and medical malpractice. This is her eighth consecutive year on the list, dating back to 2020.

Christopher T. Casciano, recognized for plaintiff medical malpractice and personal injury. He has been selected every year since 2023.

E.J. Hammann, recognized for plaintiff medical malpractice and health care. This is her second year on the list.

Tess E. Russell was named to the 2027 Rising Stars list for personal injury and medical malpractice, her third straight year of recognition since 2025.

Super Lawyers selects attorneys through a process that includes peer nominations, independent research and evaluations by a panel of lawyers. No more than 5% of lawyers in each state are named to Super Lawyers. Rising Stars recognizes attorneys who are 40 or younger, or who have been practicing for 10 years or less, and no more than 2.5% of lawyers in each state receive that recognition.

“Every one of these cases is a team effort, from the nurses who review the records to the attorneys who try the case,” said Barron. “It means a lot to see Chris, E.J. and Tess recognized by their peers. Their work shows up for our clients every day.”

Brown & Barron represents patients and families across Maryland in medical malpractice, birth injury and nursing home abuse and neglect cases. The firm handles these cases in-house with a team of more than 25 people, including four partners and in-house nurses, who review medical records, work with experts and prepare each case for trial.
