About Laurence

I have lived and worked in Southern Maryland for over thirty eight years, and practiced law here for over thirty three years.  All of the lawyers in our firm appear regularly in court, and are also active in other aspects of the legal profession, both locally and state wide. Five members of our firm are past presidents of the Calvert County Bar Association.

 

We are also active in our community and regularly undertake leadership roles in civic, charitable and educational institutions.

 

Our firm provides first rate legal services and zealously represents the interests of our clients.
