Top best C Lawyers in Lewiston | 148 available

With 25 years experience, I've been fortunate to handle almost every kind of case. My office accepts the defense of all criminal cases in all courts. The prosecutors and the police have the job of getting convictions. My job is to make sure your receive a vigorous and well-strategized defense. We can go to trial, and often do. But if you want to work out what is often called a "plea bargain", we can work out the very best deal possible. On the civil side, the insurance company is like the prosecutor. The insurance adjusters and their lawyers will try to run roughshod over the injured party. We are happy to help spearhead a fair recovery from the insurance companies. And we do it at a reduced fee compared to our competitors who charge larger fees to cover advertising costs. Instead of 33% of the recovery, we charge 25%. That's money in your pocket, where it belongs. Working with our clients is a privilege we look forward to enjoying for many years to come, one hard-fought result at a time.. Text me at
