In 1968, Joseph S. McCarthy and James T. Wharton established the Law Offices of McCarthy and Wharton, with two large insurance company clients, both of which remain clients of the firm today.  Over the first 10 years, while housed in a historic property at 100 South Washington Street in Rockville, Maryland, the firm saw significant growth, adding attorneys and expanding its office by acquiring the adjacent historic property at 104 South Washington Street.  In 1998, after another 20 years of significant growth and practice expansion, the firm acquired another adjacent historic house at 108 South Washington Street, and these three Victorian properties served as the firm’s principal office over that forty year period.

In 2008, the McCarthy Wilson LLP proudly announced the relocation of its Rockville office to the new ASHA Executive Building, a brand new state-of-the-art LEED Gold-Certified Green Building, located at 2200 Research Boulevard, Suite 500, in Rockville, Maryland.  In addition to superior, integrated and technologically advanced office space, our new office features outstanding conference facilities, which will assist our continuing work in such areas as complex mediations, arbitrations, multi-party depositions, mock trials, jury analysis and continuing legal education seminars.  The Rockville office continues to serve as the principal office of the firm, however, the firm has continued to expand and now has an office in Great Falls, Virginia.

McCarthy Wilson LLP is now comprised of 20 lawyers and its highly skilled legal support personnel, working on cases in the state and federal trial and appellate courts of Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia, from our Rockville, Baltimore, and Tysons Corner locations. As our numbers, practice areas, and legal expertise have increased, so has our ability to handle a broad range of cases for large and small clients throughout the region and across the nation.
