Areas of Practice

---

We represent landlords, housing authorities, and property management companies. We provide comprehensive legal counsel on every aspect of residential property management, from lease drafting and policy development, to evictions, fair housing compliance, reasonable accommodations, and subsidized housing requirements. 

Our attorneys represent clients in all the District Courts throughout Maine, before the Maine Human Rights Commission, and in administrative proceedings involving HUD, Rural Development, and other housing programs. We also provide training, legal updates, and day-to-day guidance designed to help housing providers minimize risk while maintaining compliance with an ever-changing and technical legal landscape.  

Whether you manage a single property, thousands of affordable housing units, short term vacation rentals, or a mobile home park, our goal is to provide timely, practical, and responsive legal guidance that protects your investment and supports your business. 

Family law matters are often among the most personal and challenging issues a person will face. At our office, we provide experienced, compassionate representation while helping our clients navigate difficult transitions with confidence and clarity. 

Whether you need assistance with a divorce, a parental rights and responsibilities case, child support, modifications, protection from abuse matters, or another family law issue, we are prepared to assist you. We understand that every family is unique and work closely with our clients to develop practical solutions that protect their interests and the well-being of their families.

Whether your matter can be resolved through negotiation or requires litigation, we are committed to providing knowledgeable advocacy and personalized guidance to help you get the best possible outcome for your family. 

Small claims cases can involve important financial and legal issue, even when the amount in dispute is relatively modest. Our office represents individuals and businesses in small claims matters, providing knowledgeable guidance and effective advocacy throughout the process. 

We can assist with matters involving unpaid debts, property damage, minor contract disputes, landlord-tenant issues, and other civil claims. From evaluating your case to preparing for court and representing you in court, we will help you understand your rights and pursue a practical resolution. 

As a neighborhood law office, we believe that being an attorney means more than simply handling cases - it means being a resource for the people and businesses in our community. While our primary practice areas are focused on housing, property management, family law, and small claims, we also assist clients with a variety of general legal matters, including simple wills, powers of attorney, health care directives, corporate and LLC filings, and personal injury. 

Sometimes a legal issue will fall outside the areas we handle. When that happens, we won't simply send you on your way. We will do our best to point you in the right direction and, when possible, connect you with a trusted attorney or resource who can help.
