Chambers USA conducts interviews and independent research to develop its lists of lawyers and law firms. Law firms and individual lawyers are ranked in bands from 1 (highest) to 6 (lowest). A Senior Statesperson is a lawyer who no longer works hands-on with the same intensity but who, by virtue of close links with major clients, remains pivotal to the firm’s success. The “Up-and-Coming” designation recognizes those who do not yet have an established reputation but who are driving their firm’s growth. 

With 75 lawyers and more than 75 years of experience in Maryland, the District of Columbia, and Northern Virginia, Lerch Early helps companies, nonprofits, and individuals rise to every challenge in business, real estate, litigation, and life.
