FIRM HISTORY

Humphreys, McLaughlin & McAleer, LLC, is a new name, but not a new firm. Originally founded by the late Robert L. Humphreys, Jr. and the Honorable Jeffrey C. Herwig in March of 1991, the firm was then named Herwig & Humphreys, LLP.  After the founding of their firm as a two-member entity in 1991, their vision was to assemble a small group of exceptionally skilled litigators concentrating in the field of workers' compensation defense of Maryland and the District of Columbia claims, as well as claims under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act.

While building on an already well-established reputation for integrity and competence, Mr. Humphreys co-authored the Maryland Workers' Compensation Handbook, (Michie, ed. 1993) with the late and Honorable Richard P. Gilbert, Chief Judge of the Court of Special Appeals.  Around this time, the firm began growing with the addition of associate attorneys.

In 2006, Mr. Herwig was selected by Governor Robert L. Erlich, Jr. to become a Commissioner on the Maryland Workers' Compensation Commission.  After confirmation by the Maryland State Senate, Mr. Herwig was required to relinquish his interest in the firm, as he took his position with the Commission.  The law firm remains a firm of exceptional and dedicated attorneys committed to the vision and values of its founders.  The firm was officially renamed Humphreys, McLaughlin & McAleer, LLC on June 1, 2006.  Kathryn McAleer is the managing attorney.  Since its inception in 1991, the firm has grown and now consists of nine attorneys with a total of over 145 years of legal experience.
