WHO WE ARE

Rooted in Georgetown. Driven by Advocacy.

Rawdon & Cantrill isn’t your average law firm—and we don’t want to be. We’re not in this for showmanship or headlines. We’re here to serve real people with real problems. We believe the law should be accessible, clear, and grounded in common sense. We take pride in being approachable, candid, and thoroughly prepared—whether we’re in the courtroom, at a client meeting, or giving out candy on Halloween.

Our firm is built on trust: trust in each other, trust from our clients, and trust earned from decades of doing the work right.

The Halloween Photo

Yes, it’s real. No, we didn’t expect it to become a classic. But there’s something fitting about Alex in a judge’s robe on Halloween, handing out candy in front of the office. It’s a snapshot of who we are: professionals who take the work seriously, but not ourselves.
