On May 9, 2025, Kaitlin Leary appeared on Fox45 Baltimore to discuss a case the firm is pursuing against Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott and the City of Baltimore.
Kaitlin, along with attorney Timothy Maloney from JGL, represents two former Baltimore City employees who allege wrongful termination after their unsuccessful bids for City Council. The employees contend their firings were politically motivated and not based on job performance. Both individuals had been employed by the city for over a decade prior to their dismissal.
Kaitlin emphasized that the case centers around the violation of the clients’ First Amendment rights, which protect personal political beliefs and prohibit government officials from terminating public employees solely for supporting political opponents. She added that the employees seek accountability from the mayor and the city for their actions, stating, “They are looking for justice.”
