Kendall Summers
Attorney at Law

Kendall Summers has over 25 years of experience in the practice of law. Her excellence in the profession was formed by her early work with our nation’s premier law firms. Beginning her practice Washington D.C. with Senator Birch Bayh (D. Ind), she then practiced with the national leading firms of Morgan Lewis & Bockius, Howrey and Simon, and Willkie Farr & Gallagher. 

Attorney Summers is a practiced litigator, court-certified mediator, and technically skilled, in all aspects of Family Law and Estate Planning. The core of her practice is helping her clients through the legal ramifications of major life changes including Divorce, Separation, Custody, Property Division, Marital Settlement Agreements, Adoption Processes, Retirement, and Estate Planning.  Life is full of difficult as well as positive transitions. Kendall stands fully beside her clients and strives to provide a supportive, meaningful, and experienced legal guidance and advice to help clients through the legal process. In addition to her litigation skills, Attorney Summers is also a highly experienced negotiator and mediator. She credits the development of her skills in the fields of negotiation and mediation to her training with the Harvard Law School Program on Negotiation, an intensive training with attorneys and mediators from all over the globe, and her years of experience in negotiations.  

Attorney Summers and her staff pride themselves on being client-centered: listening and taking particular care in discerning their clients’ needs; always striving to guide clients to the best, most affordable legal pathways; and making clients feel as comfortable as possible. Attorney Summers grew up in New England, on the North Shore in Marblehead Massachusetts, where her love for small towns on the water's edge took shape, as well as her love for lobsters and clam 'chowdah'.  After moving to Washington D.C. to attend law school, she settled with her family in Annapolis, Maryland. 

 

In addition to her legal work, Kendall Summers is also a rostered leader in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America.  She and her family have been long-time members of St. Martin's Lutheran Church, on Forest Drive, in Annapolis.  She also serves at Living Water Lutheran Church in Stevensville, Maryland.
