about The firm

The firm’s attorneys, Sue Ann and Dan Armitage, both grew up in St. Mary’s County and attended schools here. Their firm was founded by Sue Ann in 1992 as The Law Office of Sue Ann Lewis, her maiden name. It has had offices in Lexington Park for more than three decades.

Sue Ann started her practice in S. Mary’s County, handling a variety of cases including family law, traffic and criminal law, juvenile cases, wills and estates, business matters, worker’s compensation, and personal injury claims. Over the years, she has come to specialize in all forms of family law cases, which constitute 67% of the cases filed in our Circuit Court. She has practiced in courts throughout the State of Maryland, but focuses her work now in the three Southern Maryland Counties of St. Mary’s, Calvert, and Charles.

After college, Dan worked for a local newspaper called The St. Mary’s Tide. He then enrolled in law school and clerked for the local firm of Kenney, Kaminetz & Lacer while completing his studies. Following law school, he completed a judicial clerkship with St. Mary’s County Circuit Court Judge Marvin Kaminetz. Dan then went into private practice in Leonardtown, forming the firm of Densford & Armitage, PA, with his partner, David W. Densford. Over the course of his career, Dan has handled a variety of cases including personal injury claims, family law matters, business planning, collections, and juvenile cases.

In 1995, Dan and Sue Ann were married and also merged their law practices, creating the firm of Armitage & Armitage, PA. They have operated their business in St. Mary’s County for more than thirty years.
