About Us
Law with empathy. Counsel with care.
Andrews, Bongar, Gormley & Clagett has been in Waldorf for 60 years, and in Lexington Park for over 20. We must be doing something right! But don’t take our word for it. Read what our clients have had to say over the years.
We try to be different from the usual lawyer stereotype. We are friendly and helpful – not dull and stuffy. A legal problem is stressful enough. Your attorney should decrease that stress – not make it worse. Explore our site and learn more about us and our attorneys.
