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.

Excellent

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.

Response from the owner: Thank you for taking the time to write a review!

I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Rebekka for bringing closure to my 2+ year nightmare. Not only was she a great attorney but an even better human being. She worked extremely hard and was able to turn what I expected to be a total loss into a positive outcome. I would highly recommend her services!

Response from the owner: Thank you for the review!

I really don't have the words to describe how appreciative I am of the work done by this firm. And if I found those words, this review would take a month to write. I've had a 10 year nightmare put to rest with their help. I had an overwhelmingly positive experience from everyone I dealt with from this firm, including those who had no direct involvement with my case.I have dealt with other firms and lawyers whilst dealing with this very difficult and extremely stressful case. None can compare to Bryan Dugan. Bryan did not need to take my case but jumped right in when no one else could or would, and he did it with me going through unusual and difficult circumstances with a tight deadline. A huge weight was immediately taken off my shoulders. He fought on my side for almost a year to get my case into court where he was an absolute superstar through a three day trial where I got a result, that after ten years of getting kicked and beat by a system I was now terrified of, I finally got a result I knew was right and just, but never thought I would ever get.I truly could not have been represented better. I once again cannot truly express my gratitude to Bryan for helping me finally fight back. I finally had my voice heard and my point of view seen and was able to get the just outcome for my family I had been fighting for for more than a decade.I am disappointed I only have 5 stars to give.
