Experience You Can Count On

Oana Brooks is an experienced trial lawyer. From 2007 through 2015, Oana served as an Assistant State’s Attorney for Baltimore City where she prosecuted hundreds of complex cases before judges and juries including attempted murders, felony sexual offenses, armed robberies, handgun violations, narcotics offenses, traffic matters, and juvenile causes. Oana regularly partnered with law enforcement on complex investigations; sought indictments before grand juries; and advocated on behalf of victims of violent crime. She was quickly and repeatedly promoted initially serving as Deputy Chief of District Court and subsequently, as Chief of the Juvenile Division. In both roles, Oana supervised and trained attorneys and staff; represented the Office of the State’s Attorney for Baltimore City at meetings with elected officials, the Baltimore Police Department, community groups, members of the judiciary, and business and non-profit organizations.

In her current practice, Oana represents individuals in general civil litigation matters and criminal defense.

CIVIL RIGHTS INVESTIGATOR

In addition to her litigation and criminal investigative experience, Oana has substantial experience conducting campus and workplace investigations into allegations of discrimination, sexual assault, and sexual harassment, having served as an Equity Compliance Investigator for the Johns Hopkins University’s Office of Institutional Equity (JHU OIE). OIE is the sole investigative office for all protected class-based discrimination complaints involving students and employees throughout all JHU campuses and parts of the hospital. Consequently, Oana developed a broad range of investigative experience as her work required expertise in multiple areas including higher education, employment law, criminal law, and local, state, and federal statutes. Oana investigated matters across all JHU campuses, both domestic and abroad, involving undergraduate and graduate students; University faculty, including tenured professors; JHU Hospital doctors and nurses; research fellows; and various other staff personnel, exempt and non-exempt alike. Oana’s experience includes investigating complex Title IX matters and allegations of discrimination based on gender, marital status, pregnancy, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran status or other legally protected characteristic.

In her current practice, Oana provides investigative services and legal advice to institutions of higher learning, state agencies, and business organizations looking to retain an expert, highly trained, neutral investigator for workplace discrimination and sexual harassment complaints. Most recently, Oana was retained by a state agency in need of a highly skilled investigator who could handle a complex investigation into an extremely sensitive matter and asked to provide legal advice specific to the matter at hand.

JUDICIAL LAW CLERKSHIP

Oana began her legal career serving as a Judicial Law Clerk for the Honorable John N. Prevas, Chief Judge of the Circuit for Baltimore City.
