M&Z Community Involvement

Miller & Zois has strong and meaningful connections to Baltimore and the larger Central Maryland region. This local connection has played a key role in our law firm’s growth and success over the last decade. In return, Miller & Zois is committed to the concept of charity and community involvement.

We are always looking for opportunities to give back both to the local Maryland community and the national and international community. Every year the firm commits a generous portion of its resources to support local charities. Our Maryland personal injury attorneys and staff devote their personal time to participate in community events.

Below is a look at some of our recent charitable endeavors as well as upcoming events and sponsorships.

Recent Community Events and Donations Next One Up Mock Interview Event

On March 1, 2020, several team members of Miller and Zois participated in a Mock Interview Event hosted by Next One Up, an initiative that empowers ‘high risk’ students in Baltimore City. One of our legal assistants, Nicholas Finch, delivered invaluable tips and tricks to middle schoolers. He taught them the value of a strong handshake and the element of self-confidence.

Meanwhile, one of our attorneys,  Beth Frey, and her husband, John Frey, spent the time interviewing the seniors. Beth emphasized strong eye contact and encouraged the young students to proudly tell their stories about why they joined Next One Up. Beth was astounded at the intellect and drive of these young students, and she truly believes that they will land life-changing jobs this summer.

The students left the event beaming with a sense of pride and a new level of confidence. Alongside other professionals in Baltimore City, Miller and Zois helped uplift these young minds and set them on the right path to attaining summer jobs. Nick, who has worked with Next One Up since autumn of 2019, and Beth Frey, who adored her time with the students, can both attest to the hard work being done by NOU. It was a joy participating in the mock interviews, and Miller and Zois is undoubtedly looking forward to future events with Next One Up!

Professor Warnken has influenced, shaped, and educated numerous law students during his long career as a faculty member of the UB School of Law, including most of the Maryland attorneys at Miller & Zois.

Our firm’s contribution will help UB honor Professor Warnken’s outstanding contributions to the Baltimore legal community by naming the law school’s Moot Courtroom in his honor. Thanks to support from Miller & Zois and other Maryland law firms it will now be known as the Byron Warnken Moot Courtroom.
