About Larry
Biography
I graduated from Damascus High School in 1966 and attended Frostburg University for three years. I was then accepted at the University of Nebraska College of Law and graduated in December of 1971. Upon graduation, I moved back to Maryland and assumed the duties of a law clerk for the Honorable Perry G. Bowen. I worked with the firm of Sengstack, Sengstack and Lamson and was a part time assistant States Attorney from 1981 to 1984. I then went into a solo practice and in 1989 ran in a contested election for the office of the State's Attorney and won. I was subsequently sworn into that office in January of 1980 and upon the unexpected passing of the District Court Judge in February of 1980 I was appointed by Governor Hughes to the District Court vacancy becoming the youngest judge to ever fill that vacancy. I served in that capacity until the spring of 1991 and retired as the Administrative Judge for the Fourth District.
I resumed private practice after two spine surgeries in 1992.

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...

2nd time raided house
Larry kept me informed and calm until trial and on court day. He did an excellent job to keep me from going to jail. I had previous lawyers for the same type of cases and would of done jail if not for him. So, I would definitely recommend him as one of the best lawyers for Calvert County.
