Lawyerly Lairs: The Five Most Expensive Attorney Abodes in Washington, D.C.

Washington lawyers own some pretty spectacular real estate. Here are the five most expensive lawyerly lairs in D.C....

(When we say that at least five of the 50 homes are owned by lawyers, we’re not counting Earl F. Glock. It appears that Glock, also a GULC grad, is holding the #32 house in a trustee capacity; he’s not the beneficial owner. Washingtonian didn’t make the same mistake that the Boston Globe made in reporting that real estate lawyer Henry Rosen was the real owner of a $13 million Boston condominium.)

Eugene Ludwig and Carol Ludwig occupy the lofty perch of #19. You can read more about their gigantic abode — such as how much they paid for it, and how big it is — over at Washingtonian. Ludwig is a graduate of Yale Law School, where he was pals with Bill Clinton, in whose administration he served as comptroller of the currency. Before his time as comptroller, Ludwig was a partner at Covington & Burling — but it seems he made his real money as founder and CEO of Promontory Financial Group, a consulting firm for financial services companies.

Finally, let’s check out the highest-ranked lawyer home. It’s worth more than $10 million — and we have many photos of it, because the real estate listing for it is still online.

The owner is a lawyer at a Biglaw firm, interestingly enough. Which one?
