Overview

Content is provided by the firm.
Since 1972, the law firm of Shulman Rogers has garnered a reputation for providing quality representation, business insight, and client value. In addition to legal services, we provide clients with sound strategic planning and good business advice, focusing energy on how to make an opportunity work as opposed to dwelling on the reasons why it won’t. The Firm also supports its clients by creating opportunities, through its vast client base, for financing procurement, joint venture possibilities and client-to-client business referrals.

Experience, breadth of knowledge and commitment to excellence enables the Firm to provide high quality legal services at a reasonable fee. As a result, Shulman Rogers is an attractive alternative to both larger, higher-priced law firms and to smaller, less diverse firms in the Washington area.

Today, Shulman Rogers is Maryland’s largest independent law firm outside of Baltimore, offering a wide array of business and personal legal services. For more information, go to ShulmanRogers.com.
