About Elizabeth A
Elizabeth A Shura practices law in Maryland and the District of Columbia. She built a foundation in criminal justice studies, earning a B.A. in Criminology and Criminal Justice from the University of Maryland, College Park in 2004. She later continued her legal education at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, receiving her J.D. in 2011.
After law school, Shura's career moved into private practice. Records show she joined Berman, Sobin, Gross LLP as an associate in 2016. At the firm she has worked on matters arising in both Maryland and the District of Columbia, appearing before local tribunals and handling cross-jurisdictional issues when they arise.
Colleagues describe Shura as methodical in approach. She brings a case-by-case analysis to client matters and emphasizes clear, practical advice. Her education in criminology informs an understanding of how legal outcomes affect people outside the courtroom. That perspective is apparent in how she prepares matters for litigation and client meetings, and in the questions she asks when assessing new matters.
Shura's practice involves courtroom work and client counseling. She negotiates, drafts and files documents needed to advance client interests. On occasion she litigates disputes at the trial level or appears in administrative proceedings. She has particular familiarity with the procedural landscapes of Maryland and D.C., and she uses that familiarity to coordinate filings and schedules between jurisdictions.
In professional settings she has taken on tasks typical of an associate attorney: legal research, motion practice, and direct client contact. Those responsibilities have given her repeated exposure to the mechanics of civil procedure and the strategic decisions that shape a case. Peers note her steady handling of routine and time-sensitive tasks alike.
Outside of casework, Shura's academic background remains a touchstone. The combination of a criminology undergraduate degree and a law degree gives her a dual perspective on legal problems. It influences how she frames issues for clients and how she evaluates potential outcomes.
She is currently a member of the Berman, Sobin, Gross LLP team and handles matters arising in Maryland and the District of Columbia.
