Attorney Information
Overview
Jeremy Rachlin, a senior associate, plays a key role in the firm’s litigation work on behalf of businesses, individuals, personal representatives, trustees, and beneficiaries of estates and trusts.
Mr. Rachlin came to the firm in 2012 following five years in the litigation department at another Montgomery County firm. Jeremy has litigated cases in Maryland, Virginia, Florida, and the District of Columbia. He practices primarily in the areas of commercial litigation, employment defense, and he has developed a particular expertise in fiduciary litigation, in which the firm represents a trustee or personal representative (i.e., the executor of an Estate), or a person or company who is in litigation against a trustee or personal representative. Mr. Rachlin’s fiduciary litigation work also includes guardianship matters. Mr. Rachlin has been called upon to teach continuing legal education courses to lawyers, as well as continuing professional education courses relating to litigation to accountants and other professionals.
In addition to his membership in national and state bar associations, Mr. Rachlin devotes many hours of service to leadership positions in the Bar Association for Montgomery County, Maryland. Mr. Rachlin has previously served three terms as an Associate member of the Montgomery County, Maryland Chapter of the American Inns of Court and was recently selected to serve a three-year term as a Barrister in the same organization. Mr. Rachlin spends substantial time devoted to educating the public about the law, including serving as a volunteer judge in the Maryland High School Mock Trial Competitions and serving on the committee that plans programming for the Law School for the Public television program on Montgomery Community Media. Mr. Rachlin serves on the Montgomery County Circuit Court’s panel of attorneys appointed to represent the alleged disabled in guardianship proceedings. In June 2012, in recognition of his outstanding leadership across various committees and sections within the Montgomery County Bar, Mr. Rachlin was inducted by the Montgomery County Bar Foundation to serve a ten year term as a “Bar Leader.”
Mr. Rachlin is a lifelong Maryland resident, born and raised in Silver Spring, a graduate of Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville, the University of Maryland, College Park, and the University of Maryland School of Law in Baltimore. In undergraduate school, Mr. Rachlin received a B.A. in psychology and citations from both the University Honors Program and the Gemstone Honors Program and was a member of the prestigious Omicron Delta Kappa national leadership fraternity. In law school, he was the Managing Editor of The Journal of Health Care Law & Policy, served as a peer advisor to incoming law students, interned for a federal magistrate judge, volunteered in a legal clinic serving low-income individuals, and received his J.D., cum laude. Mr. Rachlin was selected for a one-year judicial clerkship following law school for the Honorable John W. Debelius, III of the Circuit Court for Montgomery County.
Outside of the office, Mr. Rachlin is an avid Maryland Terrapins and Washington Nationals fan. His crowning moment as a sports fan was attending the 2002 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship, won, of course, by the Terrapins. Mr. Rachlin and his wife and daughter live in Rockville, Maryland.
