In the Community
Our commitment to partnership extends beyond the work we do for clients. Across the firm, our attorneys and staff devote time, energy, and leadership to organizations working to strengthen our communities, schools, and local business environment.
Through volunteer service, board leadership, and charitable involvement, we stay connected to the places where we live and work throughout the Mid-Atlantic.
Shulman Rogers’ Community Outreach Committee helps bring these efforts together, identifying opportunities and coordinating volunteer initiatives across Montgomery County and the greater Washington region. The committee works closely with attorneys and staff to support organizations and causes that matter to our communities.
Our Community Impact
Best Buddies Maryland
Shulman Rogers takes an active role in Best Buddies Maryland and has been the presenting sponsor of the Friendship Walk for several years. In 2025, the Shulman Rogers Friendship Walk team raised more than $36,000 to support the mission!
Managing Shareholder Sam Spiritos Chairs the Best Buddies Maryland, D.C. Metro Advisory Board and holds a special connection to the organization. “I am passionate about my involvement with Best Buddies, and serve in memory of my brother, Malcolm, who had Down syndrome. I am determined to help Best Buddies Maryland achieve its mission of friendship and employment for people with I/DD," said Sam.
Our Community Impact
National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)
Shulman Rogers proudly supported the National Alliance on Mental Illness’ annual NAMI Walks Your Way event and raised nearly $5000 to help support the amazing work NAMI does in Montgomery County. Special thanks to paralegal Shiela Colvin and retired legal assistant Rose Sittner, who happily served as Co-Captains of Rosie’s Rebels and organized the Firm’s participation.
Our Community Impact
EagleBank Foundation
These funds have enabled local hospitals and other cancer-focused organizations in our community to continue ongoing research and provide support services—all dedicated to eradicating breast cancer.
Retired shareholder Don Rogers proudly served Chair of the EagleBank Foundation and was a founder of this annual event.
Pro-Bono
Access to trusted legal counsel should not depend on circumstance. Through our pro bono work, Shulman Rogers attorneys provide legal services to those who may forgo needed legal representation because they are unable to afford those services and have helped them navigate critical moments with clarity and support.
As part of our pro bono and community involvement efforts, we represent and are appointed guardian for some of the most vulnerable members of our community. This work has helped establish our firm as a trusted voice in guardianship matters throughout the region and has assisted numerous individuals who did not have anyone else available to help them.
Beyond pro bono legal services, our attorneys and staff also give their time and resources to charitable organizations focused on public service and community support. Together, these efforts reflect a broader commitment to using our expertise and connections to make a meaningful difference.
Shulman Rogers is proud to support
