    Rochelle S. Eisenberg

    “The law is the easy part. You learn that in law school. It is understanding the facts of each case, looking at events and incidents through other's eyes, being willing to change your position, and crafting satisfactory resolutions to clients' problems that is most challenging. You can only obtain those skills through experience.”

    Rochelle Eisenberg is a Member of PK Law and practices in the firm’s Education and Labor and Employment Groups.  Ms. Eisenberg’s experience includes: Representation of private and public sector clients on behalf of management with experience before federal and state courts, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, various state and city human relations commissions (employment and fair housing cases), National Labor Relations Board, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, Maryland State Board of Education, Office of Administrative Hearings, and other administrative agencies; experience and training as a mediator (1977-Present).

    Her school law experience  includes representation of colleges and universities, Superintendents and/or local boards of education in Allegany, Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Caroline, Carroll, Cecil, Charles, Dorchester, Garrett, Howard, Kent, Queen Anne’s, St. Mary’s, Somerset, Talbot, Washington and Worcester Counties and others; involvement in all areas of special education and the education of students with disabilities (attendance at IEP and 504 meetings, mediations, hearings, federal and state court litigation); regular involvement with issues dealing with student rights and discipline, student services issues, abuse investigations, all facets of employment law, collective bargaining, impasse arbitration, First Amendment cases, wage and hour matters, contract interpretation, the handling of arbitrations and mediations, and drafting legislation(1977-Present).

    Ms. Eisenberg was the first recipient of the Carl W. Smith Excellence in Education Award presented in 2014 by the Maryland Association of Boards of Education for her “exemplary leadership and service to public education in Maryland.”

    A native Washingtonian, Ms. Eisenberg resides in Fulton, Maryland. Her late husband, Dr. Stephen Eisenberg, was engaged in a private dental practice and taught at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, where he was a member of the Dean’s Faculty.
