Meet the team
Dema Law was founded by Jack Dema on a simple but powerful belief: that the law can be a force for protecting the environment and the people who depend on it. For more than four decades, that mission has been carried forward by a team of attorneys driven by a deep commitment to doing what’s right.
What it’s like to work at Dema Law
At Dema Law, we believe the work is only as strong as the people behind it. We foster a culture of respect, trust, and collaboration—where people are valued not just for what they do, but for who they are.
Though our offices are based in Maryland and the U.S. Virgin Islands, our team works from across the country—including New York, Virginia, Colorado, Louisiana, and New Jersey. Our remote-first model gives our people the freedom to live where they choose while staying deeply connected to meaningful, purpose-driven work.
That flexibility, combined with a shared commitment to excellence, allows us to bring together a team with the focus, experience, and drive needed to achieve real results—for our clients and for the communities they serve.
...national reputation of being the best lawyers in the environmental litigation field.”
— James T. Giles, former chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania
