Baltimore, MD commercial litigation attorney Robert L. Ferguson, Jr. shares the most rewarding part of his insurance defense work. He finds that some of the most rewarding aspects of his insurance defense practice lie in helping clients and navigating a wide range of complex situations. He particularly values providing support in challenging defense circumstances, where the relief clients experience from being wrongfully accused—often of serious allegations—is both significant for them and deeply fulfilling for him.

While he enjoys trying cases, he recognizes that winning is not everything. Unlike Vince Lombardi’s famous assertion that “winning is everything,” he believes that for a professional lawyer, doing the right thing is profoundly satisfying and professionally rewarding. Even when a case is lost, he takes comfort in knowing that he gave his best effort and can stand behind his work.

Mentoring and inspiring others is another key component of his practice. He takes great satisfaction in mentoring colleagues and, importantly, in demonstrating to non-lawyers that lawyers are ethical, honest, and an essential part of society.
