Biography

Barbara Jorgenson joined JGL in 1985 as the first associate to practice family law. Ultimately, she became the first woman to be made a full equity partner.

Barbara’s primary area of law is family law, specializing in large complex cases, requiring assets to be traced, or the valuation of closely held corporations and professional service providers like lawyers, accountants, doctors, and dentists. Once, while representing one of her late husband’s law partners, Barbara succeeded in having their nationally known law firm valued at almost zero – a kudo for her client.)

She has several published appellate cases – look for her under Gorinson and Jorgenson, her former and current names. Barbara was appellant’s counsel in the landmark case Pleasant v. Pleasant, 97 Md. App. 711, 632 A.2d 202 (1993), which established that Maryland courts can award a survivor benefit annuity to a spouse when dividing a pension.

Barbara has moved her practice to the Eastern Shore of Maryland and no longer does litigation. She continues to assist estate planning and probate clients, and consults with other lawyers on complex financial cases. She continues her long-time dedication to pro bono work through a pro bono family law clinic for an Eastern Shore circuit court. Barbara is often appointed as a Best Interest Attorney(BIA) on the Eastern Shore.
