About Leizer
Leizer Goldsmith has recently achieved widespread recognition on account of his advocacy fora client in successfully obtaining a million dollar-plus verdict in an employment discrimination case, for frequently defeating employers' motions for summary judgment, and for repeatedly winning appellate victories in employment discrimination cases-- including at the Maryland Court of Appeals (state supreme court), the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, and the united States Courts of Appeal for the Fourth, Sixth and District of Columbia Circuits. He has achieved the “AV” rating from Martindale Hubbell, that company’s highest rating for ethical standards and legal ability. He won the 2005 Lawyer of the Year award from the Metropolitan Washington Employment Lawyers Association for outstanding legal work representing employees, and appeared in the 2004 Washingtonian Magazine as a “Washington’s Top Lawyers” winner. Mr. Goldsmith was previously featured on the WMAL radio call-in program: “Law Call,” and appears frequently as a speaker on employment law topics at various professional conferences and other events.
