We used this firm for our Chapter 13. Mr. Gormley was very knowledgeable and compassionate throughout the whole process. He definitely went above and beyond to take care of us. After the bankruptcy was complete we were invited to a seminar about bouncing back. That invitation and the things that took place from attending have changed the course of our lives. Mr. Gormely was there and answered many questions that we had. Keep in mind, he was giving his time freely. No one really does that anymore. We feel blessed to have him and his firm “on our side”. We highly recommend Mr. Gormley and the entire firm. Everyone there treats you like you a very important part of their lives.

I want to thank Tucker Clagett of Andrews Bongar Gormley & Clagett for taking my case when other law firms told me I “didn’t have a chance of winning”; well, we did win because Mr. Clagett displays something more than having a JD and experience. He also has a determined personality that lets you know he’s going to get the job done for you. Everyone I’ve met in that firm, especially Mr. Clagett and his paralegals, truly cares about your situation and are on your side. You are in good hands with this firm and I highly recommend them to everyone!:

I used the firm for filing my Chapter 7. Mr. Gormely was courteous, professional, knowledgeable and responsive to my inquiries. He took time to explain the process to me and answer all of my questions during the first consultation which was free. The entire staff at Gormley & Clagett were pleasant, professional and very helpful, in particular, Havyn, Louise and Jasmine. They helped to make this process less intimidating and moreso about a fresh start. Mr. Gormley’s wisdom and direction were invaluable. I plan to utilize them for more of my family’s legal needs and would refer them with the highest honor to anyone else. It was an extra blessing they were located in Southern Maryland where contact and commuting were easy. I am very grateful to them for guiding me through this process. I wish I could give them 10 stars!

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. The staff and himself were always quick with a response and helpful.

My husband and I are extremely satisfied with the legal assistance we have received from Dave Gormley. He has been helpful and always answered our questions throughout the process. A long time ago I worked for a law firm in Dallas and the hardest thing would be attorney availability on the phone. Dave was either available to answer a phone call or he returned the call within the same day. That’s not easy considering attorney schedules! Any time we would be hesitant, Dave was there to reassure us with his legal knowledge and confidence. I would recommend Dave to my friends and family without hesitation.

While caring for our increasing sick Mother, one of the most difficult experiences my sister and I struggle to manage, Dave Gormley and his staff continued to go over and above what was expected. Our Mom was very ill and had not formalized her final wishes. She was too weak to go to a lawyer’s office so we called the southern Maryland Law firm located near us. They immediately offered to have an attorney visit with Mom in my home. When she passed away Mr. Gormley sat with us and answered all our questions and supplied us with ‘Next Steps’ in this trying process. I felt confront and confident in the guidance provided, my family would strongly recommend the Southern Maryland Law firm in Waldorf.

Mr. Gormley has been my attorney for years due to an extremely turbulent divorce, which lead to a financial breaking point a few years ago. He’s been nothing short of stellar during the entire debacle, consistently providing courses of action when the situation seemed hopeless. He’s helped me deal with every issue imaginable from a former spouse focused on personal destruction, often abusing the court system to further his agenda. Mr. Gormley worked in family law when we met; now his focus is on bankruptcy and real estate. His knowledge regarding all facets of the law is impressive. Further, his shift from family law to bankruptcy/real estate was perfect because he has been a catalyst in my first home purchase. I went to settlement a month ago today, and couldn’t be happier with how the process was handled. Seeing the smiles on my daughters’ faces as we’ve started making memories in our new place is priceless; knowing what it took to get to this point is occasionally overwhelming. Nine years later, I’m finally at peace and am confident that, whatever issues arise, I have a steady, stable attorney who will continue to look out for my best interests.

Personal Injury Law Firm Areas of Practice
Our personal injury law firm offers a wide range of legal services designed to help Accokeek residents recover after an accident. Here are a few of the personal injury cases we handle.
Car Accidents
Accidents happen every day, and if you’ve been injured in a car crash, our attorneys will help you recover for medical bills, lost wages, and emotional distress, among other damages.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain safe premises. If you’ve been injured due to unsafe conditions, we’ll hold the responsible parties accountable.
Medical Malpractice
Medical errors can have life-altering consequences. We fight for justice and compensation in cases where healthcare professionals have failed to meet the standard of care.
Workplace Injuries
If you’ve been hurt on the job, our team will ensure that your rights are protected and help you pursue workers’ compensation or other forms of relief.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one is devastating. If someone else’s negligence caused the death, we’ll seek justice on behalf of your family and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Understanding Maryland’s Personal Injury Laws
Personal injury claims in Maryland are governed by several statutes and regulations that can impact your case. One important aspect to understand is Maryland’s contributory negligence rule. According to this rule, if you are found to be even 1% at fault for the accident, you may be barred from recovering any compensation. This makes it crucial to work with an experienced personal injury attorney who can build a strong case proving the other party’s negligence.
Maryland also has a statute of limitations for personal injury cases, generally three years from the date of the injury. This means you have a limited window to file your claim, so it’s important to act quickly. Our team will ensure that your case is filed in a timely manner, preserving your right to compensation.
Local Knowledge That Matters
As personal injury lawyers serving the Accokeek community, we’re deeply familiar with the local area and legal environment. We know the courts, the insurance companies, and the opposition you’ll likely face. This local knowledge allows us to anticipate challenges and create strategies that give you the best chance at a successful outcome.
Our team also has access to local resources, such as medical experts and accident reconstruction professionals, who can strengthen your case and ensure you’re in the best possible position to win.

Why Choose Southern Maryland Law?
We are your community law firm
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.
Large enough, yet small enough
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.
The senior law firm in Waldorf
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.
Not your grandfather’s law firm
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.
We used this firm for our Chapter 13. Mr. Gormley was very knowledgeable and compassionate throughout the whole process. He definitely went above and beyond to take care of us. After the bankruptcy was complete we were invited to a seminar about bouncing back. That invitation and the things that took place from attending have changed the course of our lives.
