Details
Diane Feuerherd is an appellate and trial attorney, focusing on business, real estate and eminent domain litigation in the Maryland state and federal courts. Her clients, which include families, small businesses, and large corporations, trust and credit her thorough preparation, advocacy and candor, in taking a case from the initial meeting through trial, any appeal, and successful resolution.
Known in Maryland for her appellate work, Diane completed a two-term appellate clerkship with the Honorable Lynne A. Battaglia of the Court of Appeals (now known as the Supreme Court of Maryland) before joining the firm in the Fall of 2013. Her appellate work includes referrals from other attorneys as well as amicus curiae (“friend of the court”) organizations, before the state and federal appellate courts. She serves by gubernatorial appointment on the Appellate Courts Judicial Nominating Commission, and is a contributing author to the treatise Appellate Practice for the Maryland Lawyer: State and Federal, and the Maryland State Bar Association’s (MSBA’s) Maryland Appellate Blog.
Outside of the courtroom, Diane has remained dedicated to serving and improving the legal profession, at the local, state and national level, for the benefit of attorneys and the community at large. She serves as Treasurer of the Maryland Bar Foundation, Chair of the Bar Association of Montgomery County's Strategic Planning Committee, and as a Barrister of both the Montgomery County Inn of Court and the Cole Davidson Inn of Court.
