David Harak moved The Harak Law Firm, LLC from Downtown to 1400 S. Charles St. in recent months. Harak purchased the 4,263 sq. ft. building in August.

The Law Offices of Bryan A. Bishop remains on the second floor of the three-story building. Harak has his offices on the third floor. The first floor has additional space for Harak, as well as shared amenity spaces including a kitchen and conference room.

Harak renovated the building with new flooring, paint, artwork, a new roof, and new HVAC units. He is adding a rooftop deck so he can work outside and enjoy views of Baltimore.

1400 S. Charles St. was an apartment building prior to 2008 when it was converted to law offices.

Harak said he was looking around Baltimore for a new office and fell in love with the Federal Hill neighborhood. He said it’s safe and that “people say hello here.” While he has clients all over the state and often works on the road, he said he loves Baltimore and the gravitas of having a firm located in the city.

The Harak Law Firm is a plaintiff’s firm servicing clients with legal matters in the areas of personal injury, medical malpractice, and legal malpractice. Harak started the practice in 1997 and said he relies on word of mouth to get clients, mentioning the close relationship he’s had with many past clients. Harak said he was motivated to become a personal injury lawyer after his father was a victim of medical negligence while Harak was attending the University of Maryland School of Law.

The Harak Law Firm has two longtime employees who Harak said are like his family.
