Our Mission
Building Pathways to Carry Your Legacy Forward
At Bishop Legacy Law, our mission is to empower every community to take control of their future by delivering comprehensive estate, tax, business, and real estate legal services.
We are especially committed to this mission by supporting individuals, families, and small businesses that are too often overlooked — helping to safeguard their legacy, work to build generational wealth, and seek peace of mind today and for the future.
The Legacy Behind Our Mission
I grew up in a small town in Maryland, where the name Bishop has been part of the community since the 1700s. After graduating from law school, I developed a deep curiosity about my ancestry. That search led me to uncover the remarkable story of my fourth great-grandfather, Isaac Bishop.
Born into slavery, Isaac purchased his freedom in 1854. Once manumitted, he acquired land, built a home, and raised a family. He went on to become a respected leader in his community, serving on the board that helped establish the first school for Black children—right in the same town where he had once been enslaved.
Learning about his life filled me with pride, but it also left me questioning why such a powerful story had been lost to history. While there are many reasons these legacies fade, I knew I had both a personal perspective and a professional calling to help ensure that stories, families, and futures are preserved.
Inspired by Isaac’s resilience and vision, I founded Bishop Legacy Law with the mission of helping individuals—regardless of circumstance—plan for their own legacy. Our work is dedicated to building strong legal foundations that protect what matters most today, while helping to preserve those legacies for the generations to follow.
