David Baltmanis joined Miner, Barnhill & Galland in 2011 following judicial clerkships with a federal appellate judge and a federal district judge. He maintains a diverse practice primarily representing individuals and institutional plaintiffs in the areas of complex commercial litigation, class actions, environmental law, employment law, and civil rights. He has also served as defense counsel for non-profit and healthcare organizations in commercial and employment matters. He also advises non-profits and small businesses on contractual matters, discrimination law, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and the Family and Medical Leave Act. He has extensive experience in state and federal trial courts across the country, and has authored and co-authored merits and amicus briefs in state supreme courts, United States Courts of Appeals and the Supreme Court of the United States.
Dave believes that diligent legal representation is often the difference between just and unjust outcomes, and strives to make that difference for his clients at MBG, large and small. He is proud to have served as part of litigation teams on behalf of state governments that have recouped hundreds of millions of dollars from pharmaceutical manufacturers, and to have worked on class actions on behalf of thousands of alleged victims of corporate pollution. He is equally grateful for the opportunity to represent individuals suffering adverse treatment in employment, and to help secure settlements for families wrongfully denied healthcare benefits for mental health treatment. Dave is happy to be part of a versatile, creative team at MBG that can tackle any sort of case with the same degree of intellectual rigor, thoroughness and professionalism.
