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.

I have had need for a lawyer re: family law. Mr. Dugan's office has been very supportive and Mr. Dugan himself has been outstanding in helping me in several court appearances and the immediate matters at hand. I know that when I need his help, he's there. I would definitely recommend Mr. Dugan and his staff to any of my friends.

I am so glad we chose Dugan, McKissick, and Longmore for our legal needs. Our attorney, Rebekka Hutchins, was outstanding. She and her staff worked tirelessly to achieve the best outcome for our situation and provided support all along the way. I can not recommend her and the staff at Dugan, McKissick, & Longmore enough.
Response from the owner: Thank you for taking the time to write a review- we are so glad that you had a good experience with our firm!
I wanted to share my journey with Mrs. Rebekka Hutchins, and highlight the appreciation, admiration and respect I have for her. When I tell you she is the best attorney I have ever worked with, I mean it 1000 times over.My case involved altering child custody and child support. Mrs. Hutchins was with me every step of the way. I never had to wonder if she forgot about me as a client, I never felt like she didn’t fully analyze my situation, she was always very attentive and straightforward, in an empowering way.For the first time in a long time I felt like I was heard, I felt like my case was important and meaningful to not only me but Mrs. Hutchins as well. She empathized with me and she helped me through the worst two years of my life as a mother.Child custody may be easy for some people but my case was unique and intricate. She helped me face every obstacle I thought I had in my way- head on, and with confidence! She truly is a gifted attorney and as rare a gem as they come. If you are looking for the absolute best she’s the one hands down.Mrs. Hutchins works great with the opposing sides attorney as well, which can help take the hostility out of some cases, such as mine. The entire staff at Dugan, McKissick & Longmore LLC are friendly and ready to help with anything.If you feel lost or helpless, call Mrs. Hutchins, you will not be disappointed! From the bottom of my heart and the light beaming from my soul, Thank You Rebekka, Thank You!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review- it is greatly appreciated!
