The Fisher Law Group, PLLC and M. Richard Epps, PC have created a partnership whereby Epps, who is based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, will serve as “of counsel” to the Fisher firm, which is headquartered in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.

Epps will locally manage Virginia court appearances for all court and litigated matters regarding Fisher’s Virginia foreclosure and bankruptcy cases.

“Virginia is a natural fit when you already practice in Maryland and the District of Columbia,” said Jeffrey Fisher, founder of the Fisher Law Group. “It has been a long time aspiration for my firm to expand, and today aspiration becomes reality. Richard is a great person to partner with.”

Epps is an industry veteran and founder of M. Richard Epps. “This is a wonderful opportunity to continue to apply my firm’s substantial skills in the default area,” he said. “We are looking forward to a long and successful association.”

The Fisher Law Group is a provider of default services to lenders and servicers for residential and commercial secured loans in Maryland and the District of Columbia. In May, the firm completed the acquisition of Specialized, Inc., of Virginia.
