About D’Erra
D’Erra Jackson is an Associate Attorney at Andrews, Bongar, Gormley & Clagett. She is one of our civil litigation, probate, and estate planning attorneys. She has several years experience handling some tough litigation cases in the courts of Southern Maryland.
She also prepares wills and handles estate matters, as she has a lot of past experience with estate administration. Since 2010, she has served in multiple capacities as an attorney, paralegal and intern. She started her career as a paralegal in an estate administration law firm. She knows almost everything about the “behind the scenes” aspects of preparing wills and handling estates, and that has made her a much better attorney for it.
Before joining our firm, D’Erra was in her own practice representing clients in Southern Maryland. She also served with several legal aid organizations. There she developed the skill of cultivating positive relationships with clients to counsel them through difficult, emotional issues.
D’Erra has developed an excellent reputation in all of our local courts since joining our firm. She is a member of the Maryland State Bar Association and the Charles County Bar Association.
D’Erra was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio.
