Founding Monument Legal
Prior to co-founding Monument Legal PC, Mr. Mutimer was a partner at Scrofano Law for over eight years. During his tenure at Scrofano Law, Mr. Mutimer played a pivotal role in expanding the firm from a single office in Washington, D.C., to a firm with law offices in Maryland and Virginia.
