Services
Personal Injury
We represent clients injured through others' negligence in car accidents, slip-and-falls, and other incidents. Our practice covers medical expense recovery, lost wage compensation, and pain-and-suffering claims. With Maine's six-year statute of limitations, we ensure timely filing while negotiating optimal settlements or litigating in court when necessary.
Criminal Defense
Defending against Class A-E misdemeanors and felonies, including DUI/DWI and violent crimes. We explain charge implications, negotiate plea bargains, and provide trial representation. Our approach combines knowledge of Maine's sentencing guidelines with strategic defense tailored to each client's circumstances and criminal history.
Auto-Related Criminal Defense
Handling DUI/DWI charges, vehicular manslaughter, grand theft auto, and carjacking cases. We challenge evidence, negotiate reduced charges, and develop defense strategies considering license implications and potential incarceration. Our experience spans both traffic violation technicalities and felony-level vehicle crimes.
Civil Litigation
Resolving business disputes, contract breaches, and property conflicts through mediation or courtroom trials. We manage all stages from pre-suit negotiations to appeals, handling cases involving partnership disputes, construction conflicts, and unfair trade practices in state and federal jurisdictions.
Wills & Trusts
Creating customized estate plans including wills, revocable/irrevocable trusts, and healthcare directives. We coordinate asset protection strategies with tax minimization approaches while addressing probate avoidance and legacy planning for families across Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts.
