Murphy Anderson welcomes David Rodwin
David Rodwin has joined Murphy Anderson as Counsel in our Washington office.
David represents workers who have experienced wage theft in class, collective, and individual actions in state and federal courts. He has served as counsel in successful lawsuits representing construction workers, direct care workers, drivers, restaurant workers, and others.
Before joining Murphy Anderson in 2024, David spent nine years at the Public Justice Center in Baltimore, including more than two years leading the PJC’s Workplace Justice Project. There, he represented workers in court, provided workers’-rights training to workers and attorneys, and helped draft and pass state legislation expanding workers’ rights. Examples of such legislation include Maryland’s first-ever enforceable requirement for employers to include detailed pay information on employees’ paystubs, and a law requiring that Medicaid-funded home care agencies properly classify workers as employees.
David is a member of the Labor and Employment Law Section Council of the Maryland State Bar Association. He is the author of Independent Contractor Misclassification is Making Everything Worse: The Experience of Home Care Workers in Maryland, 14 St. Louis U. J. Health L. & Pol’y (2020).
After law school, David clerked for Judge Andre M. Davis of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and Chief Judge Catherine C. Blake of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland and spent a year in Guatemala studying Spanish and helping farmers obtain land owed to them.
