Gohn Hankey & Berlage LLP - Annapolis, MD

At Gohn Hankey & Berlage LLP, we believe effective legal representation begins with understanding the people, businesses and organizations behind every matter. Serving clients in Annapolis, Maryland, and beyond, we combine extensive legal knowledge, practical judgment and a client-focused approach to address challenges with care and determination. Since our founding in 1997, we have built our practice around a simple principle: Every client deserves thoughtful counsel, personal attention and a commitment to excellence.

Our attorneys provide comprehensive legal services across a broad range of practice areas. We represent individuals, businesses and institutions in commercial litigation, bankruptcy, intellectual property, real estate, employment and staffing law, administrative law, equine and agricultural law, and corporate and business transactions.

Our experience also encompasses white collar fraud defense, government investigations, cybersecurity matters, insurance issues and administrative litigation. Whether a client needs assistance resolving a dispute, navigating a complex transaction or responding to a regulatory challenge, we develop strategies tailored to the circumstances and objectives at hand.

Our firm was established by named partners who, after spending years at large national law firms, envisioned a different model of legal service. Rather than placing institutional priorities ahead of client needs, they created a practice centered on responsive communication, meaningful relationships and results-oriented advocacy. That founding philosophy continues to shape how we work, encouraging us to respect established legal principles while exploring creative solutions to difficult problems.

Although our roots are in Maryland, our work is not limited by state lines. We represent clients nationwide, collaborating with local counsel when a matter calls for additional jurisdictional insight. We also serve as Maryland local counsel for out-of-state attorneys handling cases involving Maryland law or proceedings before state courts and administrative agencies. This flexibility allows us to support clients and fellow attorneys with reliable guidance and a clear understanding of the legal landscape.

At Gohn Hankey & Berlage LLP, we measure our success by the confidence our clients place in us and the progress we help them achieve. We take pride in building lasting professional relationships through diligence, integrity and dependable service.

We are a debt relief agency. We help people file for bankruptcy relief under the Bankruptcy Code.
