Mr. Rodriguez is a partner at Armstrong, Donohue, Ceppos, Vaughan & Rhoades, Chtd. His practice concentrates on the defense of physicians, nurses, hospitals, and other healthcare providers facing medical malpractice claims in state and federal courts, as well as professional licensing issues before state licensing authorities. Mr. Rodriguez also maintains an active business law practice counseling small and mid-size businesses on entity formation, capitalization, transfer, and sales as well as general counsel, employment, business liability, and risk management matters.

Before law school, Mr. Rodriguez worked at the Washington, D.C. offices of a multinational business consultancy. During law school, Mr. Rodriguez first worked as a law clerk at the State’s Attorney’s Office for Baltimore County.

Mr. Rodriguez was born and raised in Argentina but has called Maryland home for more than 20 years. His dedication to the defense of healthcare providers is informed and motivated in large part by the fact that both of his parents were physicians and hospital administrators.
