At WGK Personal Injury Lawyers, dedication runs deep. With three generations of Baltimore personal injury lawyers and over 80 years of combined experience in Maryland personal injury law, our firm has always prioritized people over profits. This month, we’re thrilled to spotlight three team members who were nationally recognized for doing just that.
Meet the Honorees Making Baltimore Proud
The National Trial Lawyers has named Eric Suris, Mary Finke, and Hunter Duke to its Top 40 Under 40 list—a prestigious honor reserved for the country’s most accomplished young trial lawyers.
Our Baltimore personal injury attorneys represent victims of all types of accidents, from car crashes to wrongful death. These awards affirm the passion and fight each honoree brings to the courtroom, conference table, and client calls—no matter the accident case.
Eric Suris – Litigation Attorney – Top 40 Under 40
Eric’s calm command in the courtroom and relentless preparation have earned him high marks from peers and clients.
But he’s the first to turn the spotlight back on his team:
“This is a great accomplishment and a huge honor. I sincerely appreciate my team for their hard work.”
Known for tackling complex litigation with clarity and resolve, Eric is a driving force behind the firm’s major victories. Whether examining evidence or cross-examining witnesses, Eric brings focus and grit to every case he touches.
Mary Finke – Pre-Litigation Attorney – Top 40 Under 40
Mary plays a critical role in clients’ early phases of their personal injury claims. Her compassion is matched only by her deep understanding of injury law.
“I’m grateful for the trust my clients place in me and proud to fight for them every day here in Maryland.”
For Mary, it’s not just about results—it’s about restoring confidence and giving clients their voices back after serious injuries.
Hunter Duke – Attorney/Caseload & Operations Manager –Top 40 Under 40 Honoree, 3 Years Running
As the firm’s Caseload and Operations Manager, Hunter’s impact is felt in every file that crosses our desks. He’s the systems mind behind our smooth case flow, ensuring no detail gets lost and no client is left behind.
He had this to say:
“It’s an honor to make the list for the 3rd year in a row.”
From intake to resolution, Hunter ensures that every client’s story gets the attention it deserves. His leadership behind the scenes allows our team to keep its focus where it belongs: on the people we serve.
What These Awards Mean for Our Clients
Recognition from The National Trial Lawyers is more than a line on a résumé. It’s proof that our team is practicing law at a national standard—while staying true to the values that have defined WGK for generations: transparency, tenacity, and trust.
When you work with our attorneys, you’re not just hiring a name on a list. You’re getting a team that’s been recognized by legal peers for their excellence and drive—and who still pick up the phone when a client needs answers.
A Legacy of Service. A Future Built on Excellence.
