Christian Miele, a member of the Maryland House of Delegates, has joined the Pinder Plotkin Legal Team.
The move gives the law firm a lawyer who also serves in state government. Since Miele is a sitting state delegate, he brings a view of how Maryland laws are made, while the firm gains another attorney for its clients.
It is not unusual for state lawmakers in Maryland to keep working in private practice. The legislature meets for only part of the year, so many delegates hold other jobs as well. As a result, a delegate joining a law firm is a familiar step in the state.
For Pinder Plotkin, the hire adds a known public figure to its roster. For Miele, it opens a new chapter in his legal work alongside his work as a lawmaker.
The firm announced the news as a new addition to its legal team. Clients may now work with Miele as part of the Pinder Plotkin group.
