The Story of a Southern Maryland Firm.

A lot has changed since Bryan Dugan and Bill McKissick, Jr. opened their Lexington Park law practice on April Fool’s Day, 1994.

Bill jokes that if the firm ever failed, they could say it was all just an April Fool’s joke.

Bryan, a family law and litigation attorney, and Bill, a real estate and business law attorney, had both left a previous firm in hopes of building a practice in Southern Maryland.

The team’s expertise with transactional law and a period of rapidly increasing real estate activity positioned the firm to thrive in the region. With the addition of litigation attorney and fellow St. Mary’s county local Chris Longmore in 2000, the three partners pooled their legal expertise to form Dugan, McKissick, and Longmore, LLC. In 2021, Rebekka J. Hutchins and Samuel Wiest became partners to create a well-rounded law firm and the largest in Southern Maryland. Dugan, McKissick & Longmore, LLC is now the largest full-service law firm in St. Mary’s County.

In 2015, the partners created the in-house title company Blue Crab Title & Escrow, LLC, which conducts hundreds of residential and commercial closings each year.

Over the years, Bill, Chris, Rebekka, and Sam have given back to the community that supports their business. Dugan, McKissick & Longmore, LLC has partnered with several local non-profits to provide pro bono legal services and supports numerous community organizations.  These organizations include St. Mary’s County Chamber of Commerce, Hospice of St. Mary’s County, Christmas in April, a variety of churches, volunteer rescue squads, and other non-profits.

The four partners and the entire DML team are committed to providing experienced and professional legal counsel to Southern Maryland businesses and residents. Our quality of service is well-known in Southern Maryland. So let our team take care of all your legal needs.

Response from the owner: Thank you for your review!
I can not put into words what a positive experience it was working with Ms. Harden. When I reached out for help I was feeling very defeated and had nowhere else to turn. She was sympathetic to my situation and consistently reassured me she was right by me side. She jumped in with both feet and really made me feel like a weight had be lifted off of me. Not only did she negotiate a settlement for me ... she was able to do it without even going to court. I could not have asked for a better outcome and would highly recommend her and the firm. Thank you so much.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review! We are so glad that you are happy with your outcome.
I want to share my utmost appreciation and gratitude to David Weigel. My ex husband and I have been in a VERY lengthy court battle for YEARS. Recently, my fiance was granted a temporary peace order against my ex, for a haneous crime that he committed against us. We decided we needed to make this peace order stick, and couldn't risk losing it. Unfortunately, we were left with two days to find someone to represent him. David took my fiance on as a client the day before we were set to go to court. David spent a considerable amount of time speaking with us over the phone before we met in person the next day. David explained the legal process to us and what we should expect in court. He was very thorough and sympathetic to our situation. With his knowledge and professionalism, as well as the way he handled himself in court, we were able to be granted our final peace order. I could never express just how thankful I am for what this man did for us in less than a day of knowing our situation.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your review!
