Attorneys at Sasscer, Clagett & Bucher (SCB) provide our clients with powerful and sophisticated legal services. Our firm represents individuals in matters including family law and divorce, personal injury claims, auto accident claims, and criminal defense, and represents businesses and non-profit institutions in defense against civil claims, disciplinary actions, and general civil litigation. We serve clients throughout Maryland from offices in Upper Marlboro and La Plata, and handle select cases in Washington, D.C.

Grounded in tradition

SCB was established by Congressman Lansdale B. Sasscer in 1920, and today is the oldest established law firm in Prince George's County, Maryland. From the time of its inception, the firm has maintained a commitment to providing legal services marked by quality and professionalism. Its former members include, in addition to Congressman Sasscer, a judge of the Court of Appeals of Maryland, two judges of the Court of Special Appeals of Maryland, and a president of the Maryland State Bar Association.

Positioned for the future

As our firm has grown, we have been joined by attorneys who are leaders in their respective fields. SCB is — first and foremost — a litigation firm, committed to protecting our clients' interests. Each client at SCB is assured that the client's issue will be handled by an attorney with extensive experience in that area of law, and who is prepared to present powerful representation at trial. Our attorneys include a Fellow in the American College of Trial Lawyers, a member of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (a national organization of top family law practitioners in the United States), and five former prosecutors with the State's Attorney's offices for Prince George's, Charles, and St. Mary's counties. Among them, the lawyers have handled thousands of trials and appeals in the Maryland Court of Special Appeals and the Court of Appeals of Maryland.

SCB has investigated, pursued, or defended numerous multimillion dollar complex and serious personal injury cases, including claims of: medical malpractice (medical, surgical, emergency medicine, obstetric, birth injury, and cosmetic surgery failures), product liability, premises liability, automobile liability, and major car and truck accident cases. It has also defended many high-profile criminal cases, and handled divorce and division of marital property in cases involving prominent citizens and celebrities.
