About Jamaal W.
Jamaal W. Stafford took an orderly path into law. He graduated from the Virginia Military Institute in 2005 with a B.A. in Economics and Business, then earned his J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law in 2008. Those years framed an interest in labor and workplace issues that would later shape his practice.
After law school Stafford moved into employment law. Records show he has been associated with the Law Office of J.W. Stafford, L.L.C. in Maryland since 2015. He has built his day-to-day practice around employee-side representation, handling matters that arise from employer-employee relationships. His work has involved common employment-law areas such as discrimination claims, wage and hour disputes, and workplace retaliation, among others.
Stafford is admitted to practice in Maryland, Louisiana, and the District of Columbia. That multi-jurisdictional standing allows him to handle matters that cross state lines and to consult on issues that touch federal and local rules. He maintains active memberships in several professional groups that keep him connected to developments in employment law and related fields.
His organizational memberships are broad. He belongs to the American Bar Association, the Maryland State Bar Association, and the D.C. Bar Association. He is also a member of the Anne Arundel County Bar Association and the James C. Cawood, Jr. Inn of Court.

He also retains ties to the National Bar Association and the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce, and he has membership in the American Association of Nurse Lawyers (TAANA).
