About Damien D.
Damien D. Dorsey graduated from the University of Maryland - Baltimore County in 2007 and earned his J.D. from the University of Baltimore School of Law in 2010. He completed law school during a period of significant change in the legal market, entering the profession as courts and clients were adjusting to new technologies and tighter budgets. Those years shaped how he approaches legal work: methodically and with attention to detail.
After law school, Dorsey established his credentials for practice in Maryland. He is admitted to the Maryland bar and to the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. Those admissions allow him to appear in both state and federal forums, and he has used those credentials to handle filings and court appearances that require a familiarity with local rules and federal procedure.
Dorsey serves as an associate at Hartel, DeSantis & Murray, LLP. In that role he contributes to case preparation, drafts pleadings, conducts legal research and supports trial work when matters proceed to contested hearings. Colleagues describe him as thorough in preparing records and responsive on discovery issues. His day-to-day work involves coordinating with clients, opposing counsel and court staff to move matters forward.
Outside firm matters, Dorsey maintains a membership in the Maryland State Bar Association. He participates in the association as a member, staying current on rule changes and court decisions that affect practice in Maryland. That membership provides a regular channel for continuing legal education and networking with other practitioners around the state.
Dorsey’s career reflects a steady progression from law school graduate to practicing attorney in both state and federal courts. He has developed practical courtroom familiarity while handling pretrial work and motion practice. The combination of his academic background and courtroom admissions positions him to manage a range of litigation tasks and procedural obligations.
He is based at Hartel, DeSantis & Murray, LLP, where he continues to develop his practice. He represents clients in matters before Maryland courts and the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland and focuses his current practice on handling litigation and related court proceedings.
