Moore, Carney, Ryan & Lattanzi, was born in 1986 from the merger of two law firms: Rohe & Lattanzi – a small, progressive transactional real estate firm in Perry Hall, and Moore, Carney & Ryan of Towson, Maryland. Moore, Carney and Ryan had been a long-venerated firm with deep roots in Towson, occupying the Jefferson Building across the County Courthouse from the early 1950s. Its history of launching several judges as well as local politicians to cement its reputation and connections in Baltimore County merged well with the locally focused young real estate attorney from Perry Hall to produce a firm that served its community well.

Experienced Team.  Excellent and Thorough Results.
