For Darryl Tarver, 2018 proved “a remarkable year” in both his professional and personal lives. Darryl joined DLA Piper as an associate in the litigation group at the firm’s Baltimore office, and graduated from the MSBA Leadership Academy. He was also “elected Chair of the Equal Justice Associates, a group of young lawyers supporting Maryland Legal Aid in its mission to advance human rights and justice for all.”

Meanwhile, “in my personal life, I got to marry my wife, Julianne Kelly Tarver,” he adds. Indeed, family and health top the list of many things for which Darryl is grateful this holiday season.

“In 2019, I look forward to continuing to learn how to better serve clients, volunteering for pro bono and other service opportunities that can positively touch lives, and growing my network within the MSBA and elsewhere.”
