Robert Warren

Rob is currently a Senior Staff Attorney in the Economic Security Unit (“ESU”) at NLSP having moved over from the Brief Services Unit. In his role with ESU, he is often the first point of contact for many of NLSP’s cases, especially those dealing with public benefits, criminal record sealing and Social Security-related issues. Rob helps to triage cases to determine whether advice (brief/limited services) or extended representation is appropriate and renders the requisite level of service.

During his tenure with the District government, Rob worked as Legislative Staff Director for a D.C. Councilmember, Managing Attorney for the Child and Family Services Agency, General Counsel and Deputy Director for the former Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs, and Assistant General Counsel for the Department of Human Services. His practice areas included personnel and employment law, Freedom of Information Act issues, government ethics, risk management, and contracts and procurement.
