About Hearne & Bailey, P.A.

At Hearne & Bailey, P.A., our story begins with Mr. Levin Claude Bailey who commenced his law practice in 1914, prior to serving in the U.S. military during World War I. In 1944, Mr. Bailey was appointed Chief Judge of the First Judicial Circuit to fill the vacancy of Judge Benjamin A. Johnson, whose term expired that December. Attorney Ernest C. Clark, who had previously joined the firm, continued operating along with the addition of Charles E. Hearne, Jr. in 1945. In 1950, James P. Bailey, the son of Judge Bailey, also joined the firm.

Today, nearly a century after its inception, Hearne & Bailey’s commitment to the highest level of professionalism follows the tradition established by our founder, Mr. Levin Bailey. We maintain a general practice throughout the State of Maryland, including active practices in Dorchester, Somerset, Talbot, Wicomico, and Worcester Counties.
