Meet The Attorneys
The firm has earned a reputation in southern Maine and the Midcoast for its honest and personalized approach to serving its clients. The attorneys have years of experience representing seniors, local business owners, conservation groups, real estate owners and families. We offer specialized knowledge of complex tax issues and planning techniques which can help our clients realize significant tax savings without compromising other important objectives.
We work closely with clients to provide clear and comprehensive legal services and advice. The law, and by extension the advice lawyers give, is often complicated and can involve unfamiliar language and terms. We work to make the legal process more approachable by breaking down the legalese into terms you can understand. Although sometimes complexity is a necessity, the firm’s overall orientation is simplicity. We employ a dedicated team of paralegals and support staff to ensure you understand the issues and accomplish your goals in a timely manner. We are strongly committed to upholding the ethics and higher standards that have traditionally been associated with the legal profession.
