Our community has been very good to us over the years, and we try to repay that kindness. As part of our commitment to service, the attorneys and staff of Andrews, Bongar, Gormley & Clagett have always been actively involved in bettering our community here in Waldorf, Lexington Park, and all of Southern Maryland. We believe giving back to the community is a very important part of our job. Here are some examples.
Several of us serve as general counsel to various local non-profit organizations. And we do work for other non-profit organizations on an as-needed basis.
We do this as volunteers without expectation of any fee. This helps those organizations keep their precious funds targeted where they do the most good.
Some of those organizations are local churches, the Center for Children, Mason Springs Conservancy, and many others.
The Warrior Princess Initiative is a Southern Maryland community group that lifts the spirits of children facing life-threatening illnesses. They provide sashes, crowns, certificates and other “royal” goodies, which are presented to the children at a party where they are crowned as “Warrior Princesses.” This encourages the children in fighting their illness.
The Warrior Princess Initiative is applying for non-profit status with Maryland and the IRS. We serve as their legal counsel. We have created their corporation and will assist them with the IRS 501(c)3 application procedures.
We donated our time and even donated the filing fees involved, so all of their funds can be used directly for sick children.
When a 3-year-old boy was diagnosed with leukemia, family and friends poured out their hearts – and their wallets – to help. The family needed to pay for costly treatments and opened a separate bank account for donations.
The bank told them they needed to establish a trust, and they came to us. We gladly set up the trust for them free of charge, so none of the donated money would have to be spent on legal fees.
This allowed the family to accept all donations without fear of tax problems.
We had a homeless man referred to us. He had lost everything and wasn’t able to use bank accounts or get a job due to garnishments.
We did a pro bono bankruptcy for him to relieve him of the debts that made a normal life impossible.
The bankruptcy process wiped out his debts and gave him the fresh financial start he needs so he can begin to put his life back together again. We are happy to report he is doing much better today.
We have represented many of our local churches for no fee in a wide variety of matters. We can help churches with corporate matters, non profit, and directly supporting specific church ministries.
Sometimes, we even pay the fee as a donation.
We even helped to start the corporate life of a non profit that sends medical personnel and other supplies to a very remote section of a Central American country.
After an unexpected illness, a local military family found itself with thousands of dollars in medical bills they were unable to pay. Adding to their financial woes, they were the victims of an email scam that cost them their entire savings. They came to us desperately. They needed a bankruptcy but were unable to pay even the filing fees.
We were able to handle their bankruptcy for them at a greatly reduced cost, and let them pay off the small debt when they were able. This allowed them to wipe the slate clean and they are now well on their way to financial recovery.

I was involved in a motorcycle collision in 2013, it required a year of physical therapy, and 38 days in the hospital. Tucker Clagett worked with my wife and I while managing all legal affairs for us. I had to only focus on my recover while he and his staff handled all other aspects of the claim process. Professional and fair in all aspects.
This law firm was absolutely the best! All the stuff was so friendly and the lawyer that took care of my case was amazing. Tucker Clagett and his paralegals were great. This is a really caring law firm and I would recommend anyone who has to deal with workers comp to this lawyer or anyone to this law firm.
If you are looking for the best legal representation possible, I would highly recommend David Gormley. I can assure you that you will receive competent legal advice that includes a sensitive ear and a willingness to accommodate a client’s special needs. You can be confident that having received over 7 years of legal advice from Mr. Gormley my comments are given without reservation.
My consultation with D'Erra Jackson was excellent and very professional. I felt that she was very patient with me and answered all of my questions. She prepared me for what to expect and did not sugar coat the truth without being crass or offensive. She also took the time to give me options on what I should try to make sure I received a fair deal. With her preparation, we were able to work out an agreement that works for my situation. Thank you!
From the first time that when I met with Attorney Gormley he was attentive and showed concerned about my situation. He was very strategic about his approach to my situation. The staff is very professional and proficient. I would recommend him and use him on my future legal matters. Thank you for being genuine and sincere and caring about your clients and their best interests.
This firm is excellent! I greatly appreciate the detailed counsel provided to me by Mr. David Gormley who guided me to the best attorney to meet my unique needs. I am very happy with the outcome and I am grateful for Mr. Gormley’s counsel and recommendation.
I want to extend my deepest gratitude to each of you for all your efforts on my behalf which resulted in a resounding victory today in Court. I appreciated your pleasant, patient demeanor, which helped me to know I handed over my car accident case to the right Firm. Thank you for your evident hard-work ethic, your thoroughness, and your high level of professionalism. I will highly recommend your Firm to friends and family should they be in a similar situation such as mine.
Several years ago, I used this law firm to help me write a will after my divorce. This year, I went to them again, this time with a renter dispute. I was very surprised when I found out that the consultation was free because I was a former client. Plus, I still received the same excellent service and legal help that I needed. I will definitely continue to use Southern Maryland Law for all of my legal needs.
Thank you for all the great information you have easily available on your website. This resource has been a great help.
I HIGHLY recommend Tucker Clagett, as an attorney. He is very knowledgeable, dedicated, sympathetic, honest, and has excellent communication skills. I was in a traumatic car accident. From the moment I first spoke with Tucker, I knew he was a one of kind. He is very down to earth and he makes you feel like you are his ONE and ONLY client. My case ended HIGHLY in my favor, thanks to Tucker and his firm.
Thank you for the information! I will look into how a small claims case would work and whether it’d do any good for my situation. Your website will continue being a fantastic resource!
Hi Tucker! My stress factor has gone down tremendously! Thanks so much for you and your staff making that possible. I never thought that I would be saying this, but I miss you guys.
We have been a vibrant part of Waldorf for over 60 years. Waldorf has been very good to us, and we try to repay that kindness with community service. We believe giving back to our Waldorf community is part of our job.
We are the oldest law firm in Waldorf, and the 2nd oldest in all of Southern Maryland! We have stayed busy because we get results and treat our clients right. We would never have lasted this long if we did not.
We are large enough to provide full service, but small enough to focus on you. The large firms that have satellite offices in Waldorf have dozens of attorneys who don’t live here. They use case managers to handle their clients. At Southern Maryland Law, you will be a name – not a number.
While our firm has been around a long time, we are not what you think lawyers are like. We pride ourselves on being a little more approachable, a little more casual, and a little more likeable than the average lawyer. We are real people with real solutions to your real problems.
