Injury lawyers in Portland, Bath and Rockland

We take the tiller while you heal

After a crash or a fall, the insurers, the records and the deadlines come at you all at once. We handle every one of them, and tell you plainly where your claim stands.

  • Steady.

    One lawyer keeps your course, first call to last check.
  • Plain.

    Every insurer's letter, read to you in your own words.
  • Near.

    Three offices on the coast, and we come to you.
A lighthouse stands alone in the sound under pink and gray dusk clouds

No fee unless we recover money for you. We advance case costs such as records, experts and filing fees; they're repaid from a recovery, and if there's no recovery you owe nothing for them. The written fee agreement sets this out before you sign.

Three offices

Three harbors, one crew

Come to whichever office is closest, or we'll come to you. Every case has the whole firm behind it, whichever door you walk in.

Cases we take

The four kinds of injury we take on

We keep to a few kinds of case so we know their waters well.

How a claim moves

Every claim crosses the same four stretches of water

Knowing which stretch you're in makes the waiting easier. We tell you each time the water changes.

White water rushing over rocks below a red covered bridge
Rough water: the crash and the first weeks
A white covered bridge at the edge of a still, dark lake below pines
Slack water: healing, before any offer
A white covered bridge crossing a river through autumn woods, from above
The crossing: the demand and the talks
Open water meeting a grassy shore under a wide sky
Landfall: a settlement, or a trial date

Each of us keeps one office. On a case that needs more than one lawyer, all three of us work it.

From clients

What clients said once it was over

“I couldn't drive for four months after the crash on Route 1. Mireille came out to the house twice, sat at my table, and told me what the insurer was really offering and why it was low.”

Dana R.Car crash, Westbrook

“Tobiah found the log truck's inspection records before the company's lawyers had even called me back. After that, they stopped telling me the crash was my fault.”

Russ M.Truck crash, Wiscasset

“I fell on the ice outside a rental I'd just moved into. Beatrix explained every letter that came, including the ones I was afraid to open.”

Celia P.Fall on ice, Rockland

Each client's case is different. What these clients describe doesn't promise any result in yours.

Tell us what happened, and where

Call, text or write. A lawyer reads every message and calls you back, and the first conversation costs nothing.
