Roland S. Harris IV has dedicated his entire legal career to advocating for those most in need of representation. During his studies at the University of Baltimore School of Law, he concentrated on constitutional law. His professional trajectory was transformed by a clerkship with the Maryland Office of the Public Defender, which ultimately shaped both his career path and the futures of countless clients.
After gaining valuable experience investigating cases and developing case files—working on matters ranging from drug distribution to homicide—Roland became a defense attorney following his graduation in 2006. Since then, he has provided legal representation for individuals accused of various offenses, from minor trespassing violations to serious murder charges. His practice has taken him across the state, where he has tried cases in both district and circuit courts and successfully argued appeals in Maryland's appellate courts.
In 2011, Roland played a significant role in challenging the constitutionality of the Baltimore City Gun Registry, authoring several of the briefs presented in Circuit Court. The arguments outlined in Roland's legal writings prompted lawmakers to implement meaningful changes to the legislation, directly benefiting many of his clients.
