It is with great sadness that we report that our law partner, E. Dale Adkins, III, passed away on June 1, 2023. Dale joined our law firm in 2002 and represented individuals who were injured as a result of medical malpractice. He was a world class trial lawyer and a legend among Maryland's legal community. He will be greatly missed by us all. You can read more about Dale's legal career below.
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.
In this pursuit, he acquired an intimate knowledge of medicine and how serious injury cases are evaluated and defended by insurance companies. He applied that knowledge on behalf of injured plaintiffs seeking damages. Knowing how the other side thinks gave Mr. Adkins and his clients a distinct advantage. He believed that imagination– the ability to find a different and better way to communicate ideas to a jury- was the key to success. In his career, he has obtained many multi-million dollar jury verdicts and settlements, including a $17.4 million dollar jury verdict in the District of Columbia.
Mr. Adkins came from a family of lawyers and judges in Salisbury, the heart of Maryland’s lower Eastern Shore. He had a keen interest in teaching, a talent he believed was critical for a jury lawyer. Mr. Adkins lectured at a graduate-level course for physicians at Johns Hopkins Medical School and at Grand Rounds to the Orthopedic Residents at Johns Hopkins. He was listed in Best Lawyers in America and has been recognized as one of Baltimore’s Best Lawyers in Baltimore Magazine. Since 1996, he was been 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.
Mr. Adkins was also named as one of the Top 10 personal injury and medical malpractice lawyers in Maryland in 2009 by Baltimore Magazine and as Lawyer of the Year for Personal Injury by Best Lawyers.
