I had a consultation with Jason regarding the eviction process. The scheduling was easy, and Kristen is AMAZING - excellent customer service and quick turnover response time. Jason is great. I cannot thank him enough for being super helpful, honest, and a great human. Jason is the type of lawyer who truly cares about your case and wouldn't take advantage; honest and professional and goes above and beyond. Thank you both!!!!

You owe it to yourself to give this Canna-torney a call. First off , in this high tech voice menu voice mail Sorry he's in a meeting world we live in ....It speaks volumes that Jason Litalien answers his own phone . Not even a secretary screening his calls . A booming voice that commands respect when he's representing you .
The guy is knowledgeable in his craft and quick with answers . He's personable and accommodating to a fault . He is up on every new change in Maine when it occurs and contacted ME when it affected me . WHO DOES THAT ?
He does have some faults , for instance .....his truck is a Ford .
He is a former owner of an adult beverage establishment in Biddeford and also ran for Mayor ( losing by just a handful of votes ! ) The guy is cool and understands the in and outs of us Guerilla growers leaving the dark side and going legit .
I believe he is also in the beginning stages of forming a networking group to give us a free exchange of ideas and issues that might directly affect our specific community and help give us a voice . The depth and breadth of his involvement is astounding . He's been around the block . Graduate of Maine Law and proudly Rides his Harley weather permitting ( or not ) .
Long story short is the subject line.
.... DON'T HESITATE ......!!

Matt and Heather were phenomenol from the moment I walked into the office. They were attentive and positive, and despite my work-related condition being heavy on my mind, I was able to focus on recovery while they handled the case. They were able to secure a substantial settlement in my favor and I will be eternally grateful.

I had the good fortune of having Matthew W. Marett, Esq. of Kaplan & Grant represent me in my worker’s compensation case.

Communication was exceptional and any questions or concerns were answered or clarified in a timely manner.
It is without hesitation that I recommend Matthew W. Marett, Esq. for representation in an injury case!

Gary was my lawyer when I was applying for my Green Card 26 years ago. With his help, now I am a proud citizen of the United States. He is a very professional lawyer whom I trust, a friend with whom can play game like a high school boy, a thinker with whom I can share my ideas. Very often, Gary makes me feel he is not a lawyer, but somebody next door. Gary is the best.

I found myself one day needing legal aid to defend myself against charges of domestic assault, represention for divorce, and shared custody of my 3.5 year old child. Jennifer was referred too me by a friend. I meet with Jen, and felt from the start she was someone I could put my future in her hands. Jen had her work cut out for her because my now ex- wife had put togather a case against me to bet all cases. My assault case was dissmissed. My fight for shared custody went thur all the typical paths that one parent may take when trying to prove to the courts that another parent is unfit to have shared custody.Which included my child seeing a counselor at the age of 4 and 5. During my fight for custody I had asked Jen to do something that is most often frowned upon by the courts. That was to have my child be put on the witness stand in front of the judge, Presiding over my custody and divorce case. Along with many other factors in this case I strongly believe that the meeting of my child and the Judge showed the court how wrong it would be, and how much it may affect the way this child's life may have turned out had my ex gotten what she wanted. Jennifer fought for Shared Primary Residence, and won this for myself and my daughter. My daughter is 14 now and remembers everything that took place during the 3 years it took to get this case resolved. She does great in school. And has been playing basketball year round for 4 years now, she is in the 8th grade her grades are great, also does track.She has a life that would not be as it is had I not had a Lawyer that went the distance with every issue she could to prove the truth and get all the facts out for every one involved in my case too see. In the end I would not ever want to go through that mess again but if ever I had to I would want Jennifer Ferguson, to be repenting me in court. I always recommend Att. Ferguson to any one needing the best. I could never repay her for what she did for myself and my daughter. Like most Attorneys probably are she dosen't like to be personal with a client, but I know she has a heart of gold, and once in awhile she shows that great smile she try's to hide while doing her Job.

I met with a couple of lawyers prior to hiring Jennifer to handle my motion to modify case for my divorce judgment.
Unlike the other attorneys, Jennifer offered candid advice during our first meeting and described to me what my options were and the best case scenario could be.
She gave honest, frank, and realistic advice and feedback during the entire process and was very easy to work with. On several occasions the defendant in the case attempted to steer mediation discussions off topic and Jennifer turned the conversation back to the pertinent issues.
If you are looking for no nonsense, honest, and thorough counsel, I would highly recommend Jennifer Ferguson from Fales and Fales.

Jennifer and her staff are amazing to work with. There is nothing that gets by her, and if you want results in your case Fales and Fales is definitly worth checking out. As stated in the subject line; you dont need high priced commercials or gimmicks to get results, this is a small personalized firm that treats you the way you deserve. Could not ask for any better because it just does not exist.

Working with Chrissy and Robin and Mann Law after my car accident was nothing but positive surprise after positive surprise. I knew immediately I would need a lawyer to communicate with the insurance companies on my behalf but since these ladies are so ridiculously savvy I got way more from them and my case than I ever expected. I can’t not emphasize enough that this entire experience reminded me over and over how fortunate we are to have lawyers who can handle this stuff for us. And they are the cream of the crop. FIVE STARS ALL DAY.

Chrissy is the absolute best!
She really dedicates the time to address each of your concerns from the legal and emotional standpoint. Her attention to detail is exquisite and I trust her whole heartedly. I felt completely at ease having her in my corner when I was in court, but also felt close enough to her that I would invite her to a family BBQ! That didn’t have an opportunity to come to fruition but if I did, I would have asked her! She’s my go to and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

La-Qiana is awesome in representation and brings to the table allot of knowledge in what she specializes in. La-Qiana helped me in the prepping of my case since I have never endured such allegations against me this was all new to me. La-Qiana made the situation of which I was going through less stressful because she took the time with me to explain thoroughly what things I needed to do and why since I had never in my life encountered such evil and false accusations. La-Qiana went above and beyond her call of duty. I give her a 6 Star review..⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

You always want an attorney who will be your voice, go the distance and be very involved. Well, Mrs. Saxon will even step out of her own comfort zone just to make sure your voice is heard. Could you ask for much more?
Legal matter makes me quite nervous, but with Mrs. Saxon by my side I was put at ease during a very sensitive time! Would certainly utilize her again if needed!

I live in Tennessee and needed an attorney in Kittery, Maine in a criminal misdemeanor case that involved two different charges. My brother is a longstanding attorney and I have dealt with other attorneys in matters noncriminal so I have some experience with attorneys. I can unreservedly say that Matt is one of the, if not the most honest, responsive, knowledgeable, and accessible attorneys I've ever dealt with. He immediately recognized that the charges were frivolous and he approached the case from that standpoint, even though I was technically guilty of the charges. He left me feeling from our first conversation to the very favorable resolution he obtained for me that I was the only client he had. He did everything he said he would do when he said it would be done, keeping me informed every step of the way. Our communication was conducted entirely via the telephone and email. In the resolution of the case, he had one charge dismissed outright, and the other charge was diverted for six months at which time it will also be dismissed. As to whether I would recommend Matt to anyone else, I would say with no reservation whatsoever, yes. If anyone would like to contact me personally, they need only ask Matt for my phone number. I would be glad to speak with anyone needing an excellent attorney.

I contacted Attorney Levine for a consultation regarding a situation that I was rather embarrassed by the details of revealing due to the nature of what had transpired as I had not been free of guilt in this series of events.
However, just like a physician who has heard "everything", Attorney Levine cut to the chase and did not allow for any emotionally vulnerable pieces to affect the entirity of what I was realistically looking at and why his thoughts on the matter may be of assistance but would be far from easy to execute that which I was most concerned from coming to fruition.
That, in my mind, is a trait that is found only in the most experienced of defense attorneys as they make it quite clear that none of what they advise is for the purposes of "clearing you in the eyes of the court" but in guiding you down a path that his experience has shown will yield the most desirable outcome.
He does not mince words nor does he allow for you to ask questions which have no real consequence in your case but does so in a manner that is respectful and efficient, considering your time and providing you with the best counsel by not TELLING you what to do but why what Attorney Levine has told you what his recommendation would be in your situation.
Hire Attorney Levine only if you want the results his experience has proven tried and true.
Thank you.

Attorney Levine provided me and my son with a free consultation regarding my son’s “driving to endanger” case. Between a 10-minute phone conversation and an hour-long meeting in his office, he gave us immensely helpful and detailed information and recommendations to aid my son’s defense. The case is quite serious, as my son is only 16 but is being charged as an adult. The case is also unusual, in that my son’s driving behavior was the result of some very unusual circumstances. We now hold a very refreshing view of my son’s prospects and feel much more prepared going forward.

It is my pleasure to recommend Attorney Robert Levine. One can not over state how important it is to find a good Family Law attorney when you need one. Robert Levine, is the best in my opinion, and here is why: He is honest, meaning he tells you like it is up front, not just what you want to hear; His prices are very fair; He follows-up always, keeping me informed about what's happening; He knows the law, and has excellent rapport, with Judges, the Courts, and importantly Maine Human Services, because he is such a straight shooter; Important to me in explaining Maine law, Attorney Levine, did not speak down to me. Indeed, what I liked best about Robert, after I explained my situation to him, he would verbally debate, and analyze both sides of my case, thinking out loud, explaining the merits, and weaknesses, and whether he could help, or not. Right up front, so surprises! He is indeed, a rare find in the Legal profession, honest, with integrity. I not only highly recommend him, I would engage him again in a minute. Respectfully, Theodore

Seth has been instrumental in structuring my MMMP compliant business. His business knowledge has been invaluable. He is quick to respond to emails and phone calls for any concern I may have. He is diligent in getting to the bottom of matters. At one point I was concerned with the lapsing of a lease that could have zoning implications. He thoroughly researched the topic and consulted with the municipality before getting back to me with a definitive answer. Seth is the embodiment of a ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

We are so glad we found him and are looking to many years of legal advice from him.

Seth understands and knows how to navigate Maine's MMMP rules and he has been essential to my business. I wasn't prepared for an OMP inspection but Seth personally reviewed my business and gave me a to-do list. I was able to meet the inspector's expectations and implement procedures that ensure I remain compliant in the future. Seth keeps me updated regarding new and changing rules and regulations. He says “an ounce of prevention saves a pound of trouble", and he's right.
Seth also contributed his skills to an effort to win an arbitration for the ownership of my business. It's a complicated story, but ultimately Seth identified many key points that successfully demonstrated my good-faith efforts and my former business-partner's exploitative actions. I'm currently a 100% owner of my business and Seth played an essential role in achieving that.
I'm fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Seth. I highly recommend Seth as a compliance consultant for anyone working in this industry.

Attorney Broder was compassionate and professional. My daughter, who has some fairly significant intellectual and emotional disabilities, was in need of legal representation. Mr Broder immediately sensed exactly what her needs were and put her so at ease, that she was able to open up and talk about very sensitive issues (that even I could not get her to talk about). He was very available, responding to all inquiries very quickly. Our case was handled, by Attorney Broder, professionally and yet, so personally. While with us, he was our good friend...but in the courtroom, he was our absolute protector. His compassion and understanding of my daughter and her needs, along with his total understanding of the law, resulted in a positive outcome. I would not hesitate to consult/hire Mr. Broder for any future legal needs.

Roz not only has a big heart, she is as smart as she is thorough. Some three years ago she helped my husband and me get our house in order with wills, AHCDs, and Financial Powers of Attorney. Most recently, following the death of my dear husband, she has been guiding me with care through all estate questions and documents. Although I am dealing with sensitive matters in a very difficult time of my life, Roz is making it easy. As if her expertise weren't enough, she is good to talk to. In my book, there is no better lawyer.

We are extremely grateful to have found Tanya to represent us. We originally met with an attorney from another firm and after that meeting we were sure we had no good options to resolve our problems. However, after we met with Tanya everything seemed so much clearer. She presented us with options we did not know existed previously. Moreover, Tanya is not only a consummate professional, she is also very personable. We felt she actually cared about us and our case and that she always had our back.

I am a Connecticut Lawyer who was in need of local counsel to help with a substantial legal matter in York, Maine. I picked Wendy's name out of a list of local lawyers based upon the firm web page and personal interviews I conducted. I called her—along with three other firms--and conducted a telephone interview. I found her to be experienced, knowledgeable and in possession of a clear understanding of Maine values and mores. I decided to select her firm to be local counsel.
When I visited the area it became apparent that she was well known, highly respected and that she knew her way around the courthouses. I felt very comfortable being with her and being with her gave me easy access to the local legal community. Her legal assessments were clear, concise and very understandable. Her advice was "spot on”. She knew the law. She showed herself to be a seasoned counselor as well as a solid citizen firmly ensconced in the Maine legal community. She may very well be a Judge one day.
Refreshingly, she took a lot of time out of her busy schedule to show me around town which I did not expect but certainly appreciated.
To summarize, her ability to project Maine law is skillful and she has access to all the right people and places. She is a gem. I was very pleased with her results and her professionalism. I would definitely hire her again if the need arises.

Mr. Mason was appointed to represent me on a couple of charges which i accrued while on probation. His performance as my attorney left nothing to be asked. He was reliable, responsive and genuinely cared about my case. I explained to him that my case was going to be a please because i committed my crimes. Despite this he insisted he needed to look over the case to see if he could find a defense. He was court appointed so i know it wasn't a bigger pay check he was after. He is the most genuine person I've come across in legal defense and would recommend him to anybody.

Attorney Mason was appointed to represent my nephew in a domestic violence matter. When you have to rely on a court appointed attorney, as in this case, you are always uncertain as to the quality and care you can expect. At this time we are in need of an attorney and we will definitely hire Mr. Mason and not take a chance on court appointment.
With Mr. Mason we were more than pleased...quite surprised, in fact, concerning the time provided to this case. I believe it would be accurate to say that at least 90% of the time we were able to reach Mr. Mason with one phone call (oftentimes he answered personally!) which is rare indeed!
We were always kept informed of the status of the case and Mr. Mason was always up to date and prompt, in spite of the fact that Rockland is almost 2 hours from Portland.
We recommend James Michael Mason without reservation.

It was brought to my attention by my employer
I had a warrant from a case that I was unaware I had that was nearly 20 years old.
I was shocked to say the least. ( I wont get into details but let just say, the court should have never issued a warrant in the first place) I did some research and began to look for representation in the state of Maine.
i live roughly 2500 miles away now. I called 3 different attorneys trying to get an idea of the process ahead, and the money that would be necessary.
All the attorneys quoted between 300hr - 600hr and wanted minimum $2000.00 just to start making phone calls. I was told (generally)if they can get a quick dismissal, I would get my money back or a portion of it depending on hours of work.
I DO absolutely believe in paying for services even if they are expensive, as long as it's fair a trade.
Before the these attorneys even knew what the case looked like, the feedback sounded like I needed to get ready for the possibility that it would be a long and expensive process. Similar conversations with the other 2 more attorneys will take place.
I spoke to my wife and we both agreed that I would need to keep looking and Praying for the right person. After looking at many other attorneys I found Mr Mcintosh's Profile.
I found it interesting that he was so well traveled and worked for the DOD.
My wife has worked for the government for years and has always had a bottom line {what's the solution here} attitude about problems. Also Traveling that much gives you a wider perspective of the world and the people in it.(Empathy). So I hoped
So I left him a short message.
" I have a case and am in need of representation" (message Sent)
I get a phone call. next morning roughly at 7am. phone call was just under 8 minutes . 7 of which were probably me explaining the events that ensued on that night "it" happened.
Most would worry he only responded with about 4 sentences.
I was relieved . He's said. What's your name and date of birth?
Let me make a couple of phone calls. What's your email?
Email me the court case number. Bye.
Almost 2 hours later I receive an email with an attachment .
CASE DISMISSED!!!
WOW. I Immediately emailed him back and thanked him and requested an invoice because I hadn't received one yet.
His response : It just took a couple of phone calls. You'll be getting no invoice from me.
I'm writing this review not because he didn't charge me .
I'm writing this review because he got my case dismissed in 2hours and refused to be paid for it.
So to whom ever reads this....
If your in need representation ,
Mr Mcintosh seems like a straight shooter, honorable, and of course ...... Effective.
What every your quoted, I'm sure it's fair or even underpriced!

He worked FOR ME as if I was paying him on my own, and I've NEVER had a court appointed lawyer do that for me before!! Got my charge filed for 2 years and at the end it will be dropped almost all together entirely, besides a small fine.. I was facing some serious jail time, and he worked closely with me to show the truth behind what happened that night, and that I NEEDED HELP, NOT JAIL.. Was going through some severe mental issues at the time and he recognized that and don't judge me.. He helped me point that in court and show that I was unstable and needed more help than jail could offer me!! I was lucky to have him as my attorney!! He worked for me, without judgment and made me feel comfortable at all times!! Not very often you find a lawyer as dedicated as Jeremiah!! Came to the jail many nights, late into the night, met almost weekly with his clients that were currently locked up!! I know, I was one of them!! Thank you SO MUCH for your hard work and dedication!! You mean more to me than you may even realize, and I would recommend you 1,000 times over to ANYONE looking for a great attorney!!

Molly has been a great attorney, she has been at bat for me for the past 21 months now, and although this battle isnt over yet, I can say that win or lose, I would highly recommend Molly. We may not always see eye to eye, but that's why she has a degree and I don't, but I have completely laid my future and the future of my children in her hands. This is a very difficult case (DHHS-CPS) , but my children and I are already more fortunate than we would be if she weren't in my corner.

Steve helped me get through one of the lowest points in my life. He is incredibly skilled, professional, kind. I trusted him immediately with my complicated case and he did not let me down once. I am forever indebted to Steve for all of his guidance and wisdom - I would not be where I am today without his help.

Michael represented our business in an regional asset sale. Michael kept the transaction moving, directed us to areas of potential risk, and ensured our interests were well represented. Also, he was a pleasure to work with and fair in his dealings. I highly recommend Michael for business transactions.

Michael and his team did a superb job helping us design a will, healthcare directive, and powers of attorney that fit our unique needs. They provided sound advice to navigate health and legal concerns in this time of COVID-19. Due to the pandemic, we did much of the work virtually but never felt disconnected or isolated. The final binders for each of us were particularly helpful.
