I retired as the District Court Judge for Calvert County in 1990. At that time I was also serving as the Administrative Judge for the District that includes Calvert, St. Mary's, and Charles counties. I was appointed to the bench at the age of thirty and am the youngest person ever appointed to that position. I am certified in the NHTSA standardized field sobriety tests.

I have recovered millions of dollars for persons injured in accidents, I have devoted less time to this area of practice as my partner, Ted LeBlanc, has this as his primary area of practice.

Masterful

Larry was amazing. I was visiting Calvert county for a family members wedding. After the wedding on my drive back to the hotel. I was pulled over for crossing the center divider line beaten. The police officer had me conduct a sobriety test. During the sobriety test two other officers arrived and al...most immediately started to get physical with me. I ended the night in the ICU with 11 criminal charges! I was certain I. Was headed to jail for An extended period of time 3/5! Larry was able to BEAT EVERY CHARGE! Larry saved my life and my reputation! God Bless this man

Great Lawyer

One night, I had a little too much to drink and was arrested and had four charges. I have never been in trouble with the law and I had no idea what I had gotten myself into. I was referred to Larry by several people, and I am extremely grateful that I chose him to be my lawyer. Larry was with me eve...ry step of the way. He made sure to explain everything to me. Larry made sure to call or email me once a week to keep me up to date with my case. He was very prompt on responding back to me which really helped calm my nerves. The first time meeting with Larry, he was very welcoming and understanding. I did not feel like I was talking to a lawyer, I felt like I was talking to a friend. Larry did an amazing job with my case. I honestly believe that if I did not chose Larry to be my lawyer, the outcome of my case would have been much worse. Now I can understand why he is so respected in the county and I highly recommend him. Thank you Larry!

More than just a lawyer!

Larry is more than just someone who is going to get you out of trouble. He is someone who not only cares deeply for you, but develops an interpersonal relationship with you. Why? The reason is, because Larry once the very best for you both inside and outside of the courts. He cared for me at a time t...hat I could not care for myself. He helped me try to become a better person because he saw potential in me. He didn't just look at my mistakes, but saw me as a person that made some bad choices. In addition, this lawyer is undoubtedly the most professional and skilled lawyer /litigator that I have used. Every time I have ever needed Larry for legal affairs, he and his office have always gotten the best outcome possible for me and has done so with professionalism & integrity. Larry will work with you and do everything in his power to provide the best possible outcome that there can be. Larry is not only affordable for the amount of knowledge and tools that he has, but dependable and honest. Larry will work alongside you. Not in front or behind you. Everything that he does is for your benefit and best possible outcome. He is much more than just there for legal advice and counsel. Larry is there to lead you down a path that betters you in multiple areas of your life. I would not recommend anyone besides Larry Lamson to be my right hand man. Like I said, he is a bargain. You get way more than just a lawyer. I couldn’t thank Larry enough for all that he has done for me both legally and personally.

Life changer

Mr. Lamson is not only the best lawyer, but will go that extra mile for his clients. I have been a client of Mr. Lamson three times. He worked above and beyound to help me. The end results were more than I ever imagined. I'd recommend him to anyone for any legal matter. He also handled a caves for a... relative and did a masterful job. Thanks for saving my life. Larry has been my lawyer for 20 years.

Great Lawyer

At 45, this was the first time that I needed a lawyer to defend me and I was scared about what the future would be like for me. Mr. Lamson understood this and explained every step to me so that I knew every possible scenario, good or bad. At no time did I have any unrealistic expectations about the... outcome of my trial. He was available anytime that I had a question or if I needed reassured about something. On the day of court, I was offered a great deal by the State thanks to Mr. Lamson's expertise. I did not feel alone during this whole experience because he understands that people make mistakes and at the same time doesn't make you feel like any less of a person for it, and that has meant the world to me. Mr. Lamson's office staff is very welcoming and professional. I am extremely happy with the results of Mr. Lamson's representation of me and now I can move ahead with my life. I would definitely recommend Larry Lamson to anyone who needs a lawyer.
