You deserve a lawyer who knows your name and treats you like a human being – not a dollar sign. At Southern Maryland Law, we are large enough to provide full service but small enough to focus on you.
At Southern Maryland Law, we understand that life in Indian Head, MD, is rooted in community. Whether you’re driving along Indian Head Highway or enjoying time at the Village Green, we know how important it is to feel safe and secure. But when an unexpected accident turns your life upside down, you need someone to guide you through the aftermath. That’s where our experienced Indian head personal injury lawyers come in.
Accidents Can Be Life-Changing
Accidents happen in an instant, but their consequences can last a lifetime. Whether it’s a car crash on Route 210, a motorcycle accident during a weekend ride, or a devastating truck collision, injuries can disrupt your health, income, and peace of mind.
You might feel overwhelmed by medical bills, time off work, and navigating the insurance maze. Unfortunately, insurance companies often prioritize their profits over your recovery. Without the right representation, you could be left with less than you deserve.

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.

On average, approximately 1,000 motorcycle passengers and drivers across the state are injured each year. We understand the unique challenges motorcyclists face and will work tirelessly to hold negligent drivers accountable.

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.
