For the past 3.5 years, my wife and I have worked with an outstanding team at Berman & Simmons.
On September 11, 2020, my wife suffered a preventable brain aneurysm that caused a stroke. Our elder care lawyer, Patti Nelson-Reade, referred us to Jodi Nofsinger at Berman & Simmons, who took on our case. Over the next 3.5 years, Jodi and her team dedicated themselves to learning every detail about my wife and me. They have been incredibly caring and compassionate, with the goal of securing full compensation for the damages caused by this tragic and preventable event.
The legal journey has been hard, long, and tedious, but this amazing team has been with us every step of the way. They have become our friends, and I look forward to teaching Jodi how to fly fish in the spring, as she has requested. Another key member of the team, litigation paralegal Deb, has worked closely with me, scheduling calls and meetings while even being considerate of the demands that are put on my daily schedule.
I wholeheartedly recommend Berman & Simmons to anyone in need of legal assistance. They have taken exceptional care of my wife and me from start to finish, and we are forever grateful for their unwavering professionalism and hard work. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

The paralegals were extremely polite and professional! Top knotch, definitely recommend!

My family hired the firm of Berman & Simmons, Trial Attorney for one of the most important cases for our family.
Charles P. Hehmeyer, was the lead attorney handling our case.
The professionalism, the attention to the smallest detail, was always paramount in all aspects of interaction with each and every family member from the very young as well as teenagers to all adults in our family.
The firms office locations in Bangor, Lewiston and Portland made it easily accessible for all our family members.
I would profoundly recommend Charles Hehmeyer and his firm of Berman & Simmons to anyone needing help in navigating legal proceedings.

Doug came highly recommended for workmen's comp cases by other lawyers in the Portland area. His office was quick to get me in for an initial meeting, and was always prompt and responsive as we continued to work together. My family and I have been completely blown away by how well he has advocated for me. His office helped me with everything from getting mileage reimbursement to securing me a higher, and more accurate, rate of pay. I cannot emphasize enough how important it has been to my healing and recovery process to have a lawyer who is both kind AND knowledgeable. He helped me and my family to have peace of mind through what has been a difficult time, which is priceless. I would recommend him to anyone!

Doug Kaplan agreed to represent me in a Worker's Compensation case. After our first meeting my wife and I felt that we had consulted the right attorney and firm. Doug kept me fully informed of conversations between my employer, their insurance company. He informed me of my rights as the injured party and what and how to save any and all documents related to the injury claim.
Mr. Kaplan kept me fully informed of all e-mails between between himself, the attorney for the insurance company and all matters related to the case.
Mr. Kaplan's staff, Traci and Jodi were excellent when answering questions, or solving procedures or issues with the case.
Mr. Kaplan and his staff were and are what we needed to guide us through this stressful and confusing time.
I will miss the e-mails from Doug, Traci, and Jody. It made me feel relieved and comfortable that they were working with and for us.

Faced with a difficult decision and a very small window of time, I reached out to Attorney Earner for legal advice of a personal nature. Michael made me feel very comfortable in his response, expressing no judgement and obviously was very knowledgeable concerning the matter at hand. His immediate action made me feel my case was high on his priority list and resulted in a more than satisfactory outcome! He will certainly be my attorney going forward!

While assisting my brother through a very difficult period, we reached a point where obtaining legal advice became a necessity. Through a referral we had the good fortune to meet Attorney Earner. Through his counsel, options we had never considered were brought to light and resulted in an amicable resolution for all parties involved. Without hesitation, I'd recommend this lawyer to friends, family, or anyone else in need of competent, helpful, understanding representation.

Property boundary dispute. My neighbor and I have identified that we disagree on the location of one pin. After discussing my deed with the town tax people, I chose to bring this to Mike to get guidance. The very next day Mike got back with me after reviewing for joining deeds I’ve other properly loaners .He then advised me of the rules or should I say laws and what I could do to proceed. Mike’s quick actions and deep interest for the truth impress me and I appreciate his work.

Dan was wonderful in guiding me through a lengthy legal process. He is extremly professional, kind and wise. He took the extra time to explain everything in terms I could understand so that I could make the best educated decisions along the way. He was patient and kind which made the entire experience much easier to navigate. I can recommend without reservation.

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!

Brett Baber epitomized the word ‘professional’ throughout our eighteen month case period. He was always professional in the sense that his experience immediately commanded respect yet there was always a bit of humility and kindness from him. Brett was immediately empathetic to what our injuries and needs were, and never have we ever hired someone who worked harder on our behalf than he.
Brett’s approach to discussing our options was thorough yet extremely easy to understand. When our case had reached a point where we needed to make some serious decisions as to how to move forward, he laid out all of our options and then ranked them by which he felt held the best chances of success for us. We really appreciated how he described what was happening in clear terminology and without any technical legal jargon.
We needed an attorney throughout the most painful physical and emotional time we could ever have ever imagined. In our lives Through it all, Brett Baber always held our best interests at heart. This is the type of lawyer who can redeem the occupation from any infamous negativity. We could not be prouder to have been represented for our legal needs by Brett Baber and the team at Lanham Blackwell & Baber.

We were served for an action in Maine concerning an animal, something other attorneys refused to join. We live in California, adding another obstacle. During our panic to find an attorney in Maine, we contacted Brett who immediately calmed our fears. We saw a sincere concern for our situation. We were impressed with his knowledge and recommendations. He was responsive to any & all our inquiries and always kept us informed along the way. Now that we are finished with the action, we actually miss talking with Brett. An exceptional human being.

I was in a motor vehicle accident, and was in treatment for over a year. Brett stayed in contact with me from the first time I met with him through the end. I never felt alone through the process, and was able to focus on recovery. He answered all my questions, not matter how silly they might have been. He kept me informed, and up to date with the process. Couldn't imagine going through that time without him and his staff.

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.

I found Rachel via some amazing recommendations and reviews. She represented my mother and I on separate cases. She was absolutely amazing during my entire process; extremely dedicated, kind, understanding and really achieved great results! I was also the interpreter during most of my mother’s meetings with Rachel. Having English as ones second language is incredibly difficult and scary when dealing with legal matters. Legal terminology is difficult and intimidating for even native English speakers, let alone for someone who speaks English as a second language. Rachel was incredibly patient and did everything she could to communicate with my mum, and to get her the desired results. She is someone who will get back to you promptly and speak to you as a friend. She will spend hours preparing you for everything with a smile and assure you that everything will be just fine. I travel a lot for work, so sometimes mum had to meet without me, which caused me a lot of worry because I wasn’t sure how much mum would understand and mainly how afraid she would be. My mum would call me after and rave about Rachel. How smart, kind, and dedicated she was. How she was going above and beyond. You won’t ever feel like just a client in her hands. She will treat you and your case as if it were her own family. And I truly mean that. That is very rare to find, especially in the legal field. She’s incredibly smart and driven. It’s very admirable and impressive. I have since recommended Rachel to friends and my best friends mother also couldn’t be happier and more confident with Rachel on her side. I can not recommend Rachel enough. Simply an amazing young woman and attorney doing amazing things for Mainers. She will forever be our go to, and even though we never knew Rachel prior to hiring her as our attorney, she will always remain a family friend. She’s just that kind of person. You become family to her, and she will do everything she can to take good care of you. Her professionalism is beyond anything I can put into words. It’s rare that I write a review for someone, but Rachel deserves even more than anything I can put into words. I promise you, she’s simply the best.

I was very grateful to have attorney Roger Brunelle Jr to represent my significant other who was wrongfully jailed because of a comment made by his own brother and was being charged with a felony. When Attorney Brunelle started our case he started his research on my significant other and we won our case within 2 months time. He wasted no time at all. He really took our “very unusual “ (quote from the judge) case and took a personal interest in our lives. I’m so grateful for him. Also he has gone above and beyond after the trial was over to check in with us to make sure we were doing well and said we could contact him anytime if questions come up. I want so many people to hear about this attorney-HE IS AN AMAZING PERSON WITH A KIND HEART. I thank you again .

Best lawyer ever and I was referred by my friend to Attorney Roger Brunelle. My case could not have had a better outcome and I am certain this is due to Roger's impressive mix of strong qualities. Not only is he extremely competent and professional,. He kindly guided me through the legal process, answered all of my questions and left me feeling very supported. I could not be any more confident in Roger's outstanding capacity as an attorney and I could not recommend him any more highly. Thank 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.

Just over a year ago a truck collided with me while riding my bike. I sustained serious injuries requiring two surgeries and ongoing rehabilitation. My Wife was left with how to proceed with hospitals, ambulance services, insurance companies, police communication and the future.
After a number of calls to friends, some attorneys , as to who best to represent us, Lauri Boxer- Macomber name came up. What a stroke of good fortune amidst a great deal of darkness. After that initial visit with her, all aspects of our case were under control. So helpful for my Wife and me. We were truly represented by a professional - the results impressive.
Cannot say enough about what Lauri accomplished for us.

I had the opportunity to be represented by Mariah and she is by far the most responsive attorney. I had several questions for her throughout my case and she always gave me answers usually within a few hours. I have never really required a lawyer in my life, but she has made the experience very comfortable and easy. I highly recommend Mariah and if I have any friends or family in need of legal counsel, she would be the one I would recommend.

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.

Mr. Wholly was my attorney and I can say that he made the whole process extremely easy. He was professional, compassionate, and really took the time to make sure I understood everything. He was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer any question I had without hesitation. I would strongly recommend McCue Law to anyone for any legal matter.

Tyler C. Hadyniak is an associate at this firm initiated and conducted my case for VA Disability pay. I was very satisfied with the work. Tyler kept me appraised and responded to all my questions promptly. Since the VA awarded me an amount significantly higher than my initial evaluation attests to his expertise and competence. Besides his exemplary understanding of issues relating to the VA and the claim process, I can tell you this man has the highest level of integrity one can hope for. Given that our contemporary culture is rife with gross incompetence in almost every area of professional concern (see my previous reviews) this man far exceeded anything I could have hoped for. Tyler also authored a very powerful and insightful book on the subject, while crisscrossing the U.S. working on behalf of Vets; his book can be found on Amazon if this is of interest to you. I give Tyler my highest recommendation; and offer my heartfelt thanks for a job well done!

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You
A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.
If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.
When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?
Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:
- Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
- Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
- Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
- Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
- Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
- Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.
What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?
A car accident lawyer provides various legal services to help injured individuals pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. Their responsibilities often include:
- Investigating the accident: Gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photos, and video footage to determine how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
- Filing insurance claims: Assisting clients in filing claims with their insurance company and the at-fault driver’s insurer to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
- Negotiating settlements: Working with insurance adjusters to secure fair compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
- Calculating damages: Determining the full extent of your damages, including current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
- Handling medical bills: Coordinating with healthcare providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and helping you avoid financial hardship during the claims process.
- Filing lawsuits: If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, the lawyer can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
- Representing you in court: Presenting your case before a judge and jury, providing evidence and witness testimony to prove negligence and your right to compensation.
How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?
Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
- Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.
Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a car accident lawyer is generally based on the contingency fee arrangement. General estimates include:
- Contingency fee percentage: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. For example, if you receive a $100,000 settlement and the lawyer's fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000, and you'd keep the remaining $67,000.
- Case expenses: Additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and administrative fees can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.
Ensure you get a clear explanation of fees and expenses during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Car Accident Lawyer
Before hiring a car accident lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with car accident cases?
Confirm the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, especially involving serious injuries or complex liability issues. -
How do you charge for your services?
Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges. -
How long will the process take?
Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial. -
Will you handle my case personally?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement. -
What kind of compensation can I expect?
Ask about the types of damages you may be entitled to, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
How to Check the Credibility of a Car Accident Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
- Review their experience: Look for specialization in personal injury and car accident cases.
- Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
- Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
- Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Police report: A copy of the accident report filed by the police.
- Medical records: Documentation of your injuries, treatments, and medical expenses.
- Photos and videos: Any visual evidence from the accident scene and of your injuries.
- Insurance information: Copies of your insurance policy and any correspondence with insurance companies.
- Witness information: Contact details and statements from any witnesses.
- List of questions: Prepared questions about your case and the legal process.
Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
