For example, he has represented The League for People With Disabilities, a charitable organization dedicated to providing vocational, rehabilitative, educational and medical services to thousands of individuals each year with multiple physical, cognitive and neurological disabilities. In that matter, Ethan convinced the City of Baltimore that it had grossly over-billed The League for water and sewer services over a number of years and obtained a settlement of over $380,000, which represented every penny of what was claimed to be owed with no compromise whatsoever.

Since that representation, Mr. Nochumowitz remains actively involved in The League, joining its Board of Directors in 2020, and serving as its Treasurer and Chair of its largest annual fundraising campaign, The League Fund.
