Arnold M. Weiner

Arnold M. Weiner is an American lawyer in Maryland who represented former Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon, former Maryland Governor Marvin Mandel and former United States Representative Edward Garmatz. He also represented a witness who offered evidence in the case against former Vice-President Spiro Agnew.[1][2]

After graduating from the University of Maryland Law School in 1957, Weiner clerked for Simon E. Sobeloff. He then worked as an assistant United States Attorney.[2] After leaving the federal prosecutor's office, Weiner worked as a criminal defense attorney, before turning to civil litigation.[2]

One of his largest civil cases was against Ernst & Young, where he settled for a near-record $185 million.[2] After settling that case, E&Y hired Weiner to represent E&Y in a related case against its law firm.[3]

Weiner currently practices in Baltimore with his son-in-law, Barry L. Gogel.
