“First responders provide a vital service to our communities, often at great personal risk,” says personal injury attorney Matt Trollinger, the firm’s founder. “They keep us safe and help us in times of great need. That’s the definition of a true Hometown Hero.”

Nominations are open to all first responders in Charles County and all of Southern Maryland, including:

  • Paramedics
  • Police Officers
  • Firefighters
  • Emergency Response Teams
  • Public Safety Providers
  • Emergency Hospital Facilities and Workers
  • Military Servicemembers
  • Other Emergency Personnel

Make Your Hometown Hero Nomination



Anyone can nominate a first responder by completing the nomination form to recognize their Hometown Hero.

Submissions should be 300+ words, formatted essay style, and outline why the nominee should be considered a hometown hero.

“After an accident or emergency, there’s not always an opportunity for Marylanders to thank first responders for their help,” says Trollinger. “This gives us a chance to show our appreciation and that their efforts are never forgotten.”
