Chris helped me and my wife with our bankruptcy, and the process was near seamless. Quick-witted, and with a dry sense of humor that stuck, Chris quickly and expertly handled our case, updating us along the way so we could rest assured everything was in order. We would not hesitate to highly recommend Chris for your legal needs!

Chris helped my wife and I through some of the most difficult times we ever had. He always returned our calls, met with us on short notice and was a tireless advocate on our behalf. He also gives much back to our community (and is an incredible actor at our community theater). I could not recommend anyone higher.

Mr. Ferguson was unbelievable! He was he extremely quick with responding. It did not matter when we contacted him, he was there for us. He was beyond patient explaining terminology we did not understand within our commercial contract. He never judged us for not understanding. Having his help during a stressful time truly made all the difference for our future. We would recommend him to anyone!

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.

I had an initial consultation with Meg this morning, and I could not be more pleased. She is honest and direct, explains things thoroughly and respectfully, and helped me plan the first steps towards a resolution for my probate concerns. She cited new local laws to help my cause (proving that she stays up-to-date) and was familiar with the opposing firm's members (she has a solid local reputation and network). I feel very confident in Meg's skills as a Maine Estate Attorney, and would highly recommend her services.

I have been a client of Elder Law of Maine for 8 years. I have used them in trust , guardian, and estate matters. The firm is very knowledgeable and helpful. They are very good at communicating, keeping me informed, and explaining or educating in the legal process. All legal matters have been handled expeditiously and satisfactorily. I like dealing with a firm and legal staff that are familiar with me, my case, and concerns.

Allan represented me through a difficult legal situation that involved serious criminal charges. Throughout the entire process, I never felt alone and in the end, he was able to achieve a positive outcome and dismissal for my case. My particular situation lasted for a significant period and during that process, his team was very communicative, and supportive. I would recommend him and his team to help see you through your circumstances. No one ever wants to find themselves dealing with a stressful legal situation, but if you do know he will be there for you.

My husband and I contacted travis Brennan after my husband's surgery which went well until closing time when they went to wean him off his heart lung machine. He went into cardiogenic shock, ended up with complications. Later finding out they left a surgical sponge in his chest and closed him up. He had more complications after this which I won't get into on here. But this lawyer decided to get our record information and look at them. Berman and simmons had access for 3 months without any updates or knowing the process I emailed them with ongoing complications appts. Finally 3 months later we get a call and he made a comment to us that told us he had spent no time reading his medical records and that he didn't think he had a case. From the beginning we kind of got the feeling he didn't want to take our case he did advise us to reach out for a second opinion which is why I'm giving 2 stars. Also lubin and meyer a lawfirm in mass wanted to take our case until they learned at the end we were in maine and unfortunately they didn't practice here. Unfortunately they reached out to one of their partners which happened to be berman and simmons and was stated to them they already reviewed our medical records and decided not to move forward with it. We would've appreciated if travis would've stated from the beginning that he was too busy dealing with the biggest case in the state.

I recently served as a juror on a (now closed) case for a personal injury lawsuit where Jim was the plaintiff's legal counsel. I found Jim made a compelling argument and presented facts in an easy to understand manner. Jim did an exceptional job of anticipating the defense attorney's arguments before they were made. He played devil's advocate to the defendant's perspective. This allowed him to be in control in a reserved manner even when the defense lawyer was trying to present his case. His closing argument reflected much of my internal monologue throughout the two day trial and it was an important aspect of what helped me convey my perspective to the other jurors during the deliberation period. He is very good at showing the humanity of his clients. He is also good at picking apart testimony during cross examinations in real time. On top of that he was also much more organized than the other side. While everybody in the jury agreed his client's request for compensation was too ambitious based on the nature of the case, I think Jim's lack of overly aggressive tendencies serves him well and allows him to stand in contrast to other lawyers who adopt more stereotypical approaches.

I was searching for a lawyer and came across a few who told me outrageous prices and I wasn’t comfortable with them based upon conversations I had with them. I keep looking and came acrosss Donald he was hands down the best lawyer ever. He beat a drug trafficking case with 7 counts of trafficking. Just when me and my family gave up hope he helped us stay positive and did his best and his best was great. If I ever need another lawyer I will definitely go to him first. He showed he cared about my family and myself. He listened to the cries he didn’t take our frustrations personal. He promised he would help us and that he did! This man is the best lawyer I have ever come across. I got my money worth out of him I actually think I got more than that. He always said it wasn’t about the money it was about bringing my family back together and that he did. There’s no way I can pay him but and I can’t thank him enough but he’s appreciated. Donald you are the BEST

I was facing very severe felony charges including multiple class a aggravated trafficking charges, gun charges and a a few others... I believe it was a total of 7 charges all of which were felonies. The trafficking charges alone held a mandatory minimum of 4 years. I had a lawyer that at tre beginning that was not doing anything for me as far as advocating and trying to get me the best possible result. Then I switched to Attorney Hornblower.... best decision I ever made. Not only did he work he’s on my case, he went above and beyond. He met with the DA numerous times to talk about my case, he gathered numerous letters from people on my behalf to give to the DA, he allowed me to call his cell phone on weekends when I absolutely needed to, and he actually cared about making a difference for me. I wasn’t just another case number on his list. Every single case he has is a case that he puts his all into and does everything he possibly can. He ended up getting the trafficking charges that held the mandatory minimum dropped so I was only sentenced to 16 months in and probation when I got out. With good time that’s only a year. For the charges I had.... that deal is an absolute miracle. In addition to his hard work he never failed to give me words of encouragement which meant so much to me. If I ever need a lawyer in the future, Don is the person I’m calling without a doubt.

Poor communication in the beginning everything will sound great once you pay him he's worse than a legal aid. Waste of my time and money I had to have another attorney guide me in the right direction he's not upfront and he procrastinates. You will be disappointed

After I was hit by a school bus while working as a crossing guard, I was dismayed to find that people at Portland Schools were refusing to return my calls, and various personal injury law firms were not interested in my case. Then, to my relief, I found Sheldon Tepler, an attorney at Hardy, Wolf & Downing.
Sheldon and his staff worked tirelessly to secure the settlement which I deserved, and I would recommend them very highly.

Will Hebert and the team at Hardy Wolf & Dowling were amazing. Following a major accident, I had been told by another firm that they would not take my case. Several months later, I decided to call Hardy Wolf & Dowling, and Will promptly called me back. He told me that I definitely had a case and he began working on it. Several calls, emails, and a few months later, and I'm informed that he was able to get the maximum amount that the other driver's insurance policy could pay out, and I receive a check shortly thereafter. He could not have made it any easier for me. I will be forever grateful to Will for his work on my case.

Heather is easy to talk to and listens, gathers information then puts an ethical, winning case together. She treats all parties respectfully. She was very responsive to any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend Heather for your attorney needs.

Heather has been my attorney for several years and continues to deliver. She works diligently to understand exactly what your goals are and always follows through. Her communication and delivery are top notch. I consistently refer her to anyone in need regarding family matters (that’s what she has worked with me on). As far as I’m concerned, client for life!

Led me on for months saying they'd review my case, never getting back to me. A simple sorry, but we're not interested would have been fine. From the beginning several emails were not answered, far from professional.

I received a call at my place of employment from an employee of this company and I left my shift in tears. I haven’t been spoken to in such a demeaning and belittling way in some time- that is why I am writing. I was schooled by this person about how to run a business and that not answering phones will be cause for people to look elsewhere. While I whole heartedly agree with the principle, it does not take into account that a person showing up to their job and who makes no company-wide decisions - is not an appropriate contact to put down (let alone harass). I work very hard and despite the insinuation of this person, I am not stupid; I simply have no control of staffing or volume of calls.
This is not the first person I’ve encountered from this firm that has exhibited a concerning moral compass. I’m cheering everyone on to be represented adequately and fairly- so I’m not writing this to express hatred (we all have our moments, me included). I just want to share my personal experience as I know that those seeking legal advice and representation want to feel informed and secure in their endeavors.
