Speaker Bio
Lauren DiMartino is an attorney at Brown, Goldstein & Levy in Baltimore where she represents clients across various areas of civil rights law, including fair housing, disability rights, and LGBTQ+ rights. Her practice also includes appeals and commercial litigation. She has a robust practice involving the Fair Housing Act, utilizing it to assist individuals and non-profits impacted by discriminatory conduct and to challenge systems perpetuating segregation. In 2025, Lauren represented the plaintiff-appellant in Hare v. Brown, a fair housing case involving income discrimination before the Supreme Court of Maryland. That win established the availability of disparate impact claims for housing cases in the state and confirmed that income-verification requirements could be the basis of source-of-income discrimination claims. Before working at BGL, Lauren clerked for Judge Martha Craig Daughtry on the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. She graduated from the City University of New York School of Law, a public-interest program, with a concentration in Social Justice, Equality, and Civil Rights. Prior to becoming an attorney, Lauren worked in marketing before transitioning to work in New York City community colleges because of her commitment to racial and economic justice. She worked as an academic counselor and as the Assistant Director of ASAP, an accelerated program aimed at removing systemic barriers to obtaining a degree. She is active in her community and occasionally teaches Appellate Advocacy at the University of Maryland Carey School of Law. Lauren is admitted to the bar of the states of New York, Maryland, and New Jersey.
