Incredible Past, Stronger Future

In 1984, Gary Alexander and James “Jim” Cleaver founded Alexander & Cleaver, P.A., with a vision to establish Maryland’s Premier Law Firm. Shortly after, Todd Pounds and Jason DeLoach joined the team, creating a powerhouse focused on their client’s success. For over 40 years, Alexander & Cleaver, P.A. has secured millions for clients and built enduring relationships. We are committed to understanding each client’s unique needs, with a client-first philosophy driving our success. All our attorneys are recognized as Super Lawyers, a prestigious peer-awarded honor for excellence in the field. We have also been named as “One of the most powerful law firms” in Maryland by the Baltimore Sun. Following Gary Alexander’s retirement, Jim Cleaver assumed the role as President, ensuring the firm’s mission endures. Today, Alexander & Cleaver, P.A. continues its legacy of substantial victories, proudly serving Maryland, the District of Columbia, and Virginia as Your Lawyers for Life.
