Mary's College of Maryland, which he completed in 1996. His legal career began with a clerkship in 2001, where he gained inexperience in legal research and writing.

Before establishing his current practice, he worked in various capacities that enriched his understanding of the law. His roles have included serving as a law clerk and engaging in mock trial competitions, which sharpened his advocacy skills. Lyman's commitment to his clients is evident in the thoroughness with which he approaches each case. He is an active member of several legal associations, including the Anne Arundel County Bar Association and the Maryland State Bar Association. These memberships keep him informed about the latest developments in the law and provide networking opportunities with other legal professionals.

Lyman's dedication to the legal community is reflected in his ongoing participation in local bar events and continuing education. In his free time, Lyman enjoys exploring the rich history of Annapolis and engaging with the local community.
