I have been practicing since 1988, when I graduated law school and hung my own shingle, taking primarily court appointed criminal cases in order to help indigent clients,  hone my skills as an advocate, and gain trial experience.  Criminal law was my first love, as it exposed me to people in need, without adequate resources, with substance abuse and mental heatlh issues, and with serious legal challenges.  I had my first jury trial, an arson case, 6 months out of law school.  I was pleasantly surprised when the jury acquitted my client, and I became hooked on the experience of advocacy on my feet.  I have taken that base of experience into other areas of practice, serving clients in similar need, with other legal issues.  Having a trial background has proved hugely beneficial, because it allows me to plan my cases in reverse, starting with the closing argument, and structuring my preparation around what I want to tell the judge or the jury in the end.. I enjoy personal injury cases because they compensate victims of negligence with money to address their needs, to redress their pain and suffering,  and to make them whole again.  At least that's the goal.  Sometimes money is a poor substitute for living with pain and suffering and permanent impairment, but it's the best we can do.  My fees in these cases are contingency fees, where I generally take one third of the gross amount collected. This means that, if the client doesn't get paid, then I don't get paid.. I also enjoy the practice of social security disability.  These are clients whose injuries or impairments render them disabled, and prevent them from maintaining gainful employment.  The challenge in these cases is to build a medical record with evidence of medical treatment and evaluation, and to prepare a thorough memorandum for the administrative law judge to review in advance of hearing.  It is gratifying to see the weight of financial dislocation removed from an injured party who receives social security benefits.  Again, I offer a contingency fee agreement, with no money up front, and 1/4 of the retroactive benefits received if and when a client gets approved.  Again, if the client doesn't get paid, I don't get paid.. Finally, I represent clients in family matters, from divorce to legal separation to protection from abuse to child protective matters.  The family is the foundation of our society, and I often think of the children whose lives are impacted by the way we do business as lawyers and advocates.  An effective advocate can see both sides, can forge compromise and encourage cooperation, while standing firm on principle.  It is a challenge to address the myriad needs of a family in divorce, and I aim to be accountable.  I return phone calls, I schedule meetings and mediations, both formal and informal. as I try to avoid litigation which proves both costly and time consuming.. I have been practice for 25 years. My father was a lawyer before me, for over 50 years.  I am blessed to be a part of this noble profession, and I am grateful to be able to help those in need.  Recently, I was awarded the Unsung Hero award by the Maine Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers; honoring my commitment to criminal defense.  I am active in my community, serving on the Board of Advisors of the Mitchell Foundation (which provides scholarships and mentoring services to graduating high school seniors throughout the state of Maine) , the Board of Trustees of Maine Mental Heatlh Partners (which serves the needs of the mentally ill throughout the much of the state), and the Chevra Kadisha (a Jewish organization committed to providing low cost funerals to individuals in the Jewish tradition).  I also have served as President of Temple Beth El Brotherhood for the last 25 years.  My wife and I met in law school.  We have been married for 23 years, and are blessed with two wonderful children.. It is a privilege to practice law.  I never forget that.  I am happy and proud to serve.. Robert Levine

I have been a trial attorney for 17 years, practicing both criminal defense and civil litigation.  I regularly try cases in state and federal court in both Oregon and Washington.. One of my strengths and my favorite part of practicing law is relationship building.  I take great pride in the “customer service” component of my job.  My client advocacy goes beyond court appearances and negotiations.  It is the personal connections I make with my clients that distinguishes me from other lawyers.. I am personally involved in every stage of a case, from strategy and investigation, to motion practice to alternative resolutions like mediation and, ultimately, jury trial if an alternative resolution is not possible.. I began my career as a Multnomah County Public Defender, where I represented thousands of clients charged with every type of criminal case, and gained extensive trial experience.. Prior entering private practice, I was an attorney with a large insurance defense firm where I handled complex multi-party civil cases in the areas of personal injury, construction defect and real estate disputes and gained valuable insight about how large insurance companies and their law firms handle cases.. In my former life, I was a stand-up comic, winning the Portland Comedy Competition in 2000.. When not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my husband Nathan and daughter Georgia and volunteering with a variety of non-profit organizations in Portland.

I have been a lawyer assisting people who have been injured by bad drivers, doctors and lawyers in state and federal courts since 1984. I pride myself on providing fast and personal attention to resolve cases in a fast, fair and complete way. I grew up near Chicago. I graduated from public high school in 1976, and then went to Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, graduating in 1980 with a bachelor of arts majoring in economics. I spent 1980-81 cleaning the undersides of airplanes while becoming a commercial rated pilot and a certified flight instructor, instrument and airplane. I loved teaching and flying in instrument conditions, basically in the clouds or fog, using only the instruments in the airplane to maintain safe flight. In 1981, I decided I didn't want to seek a job with an airline--though I have continued to be a current  flight instructor since 1981.I enrolled in the Northwestern School of Law of Lewis and Clark College in the fall of 1981 and graduated in 1984. I spent several years working for the law school's legal clinic where I primarily assisted low-income people needing help with consumer problems. I went in to private practice upon his admission to the Bar in September, 1984. Since then, I have represented thousands of people in getting a fair resolution of their claim against wrongdoers and insurance companies. I pride myself on helping people who have been victimized by an accident or incident in getting a fast and fair result. Most people have never had to bring a claim and can be easily victimized by an insurance company. I provide fast and personal attention to assist you from the first meeting through the end of your claim. I insure that you understand where you stand from the start of the case, and keep you informed throughout the processing of the claim. I am readily available by phone or email should any questions or concerns arise during the course of your case.

I grew up thinking I wanted to be a lawyer. After graduating from Colby in 1990 wiith a degree in philosophy, and then working for a year and a half at a large law firm, I began law school at the University of Maine in 1992. In the summer of 1994, I began my career in criminal law as an intern at the DA's office in Portland, and worked as an assistant District Attorney for several years thereafter. Since 2004 I have been a criminal defense attorney, representing clients throughout Maine. Consistent with my initial notions as a teenager, I love practicing law.. My wife Nori and I raised our two kids in Portland; they have both since graduated from college. For many years I coached youth sports, and since then have been involved as a board member for a number of organizations. Through both professional and life experience, I have learned that the best representation involves approaching each case from every angle, including what is important about, and important to, my client.. Most representation in criminal cases is complex, and all cases are unique. Knowing and understanding the criminal justice system, the prosecutors, the judges, the facts of the case, and imost importantly, my client, all play a critical role in getting the best possible result.

I grew up in Portland, Oregon. After high school, I first moved to Corvallis in 1993 and was an electrical engineering student at Oregon State University.

There I worked with a number of exceptional attorneys, primarily in the areas of workers' compensation and personal injury law.

I was certified to appear in court on behalf of clients for misdemeanor trials, arraignments, motion hearings, and DUII diversions.

I have practiced extensively in the area of family law, divorce, criminal law, restraining orders, and Oregon stalking orders. I have successfully argued before the Oregon Court of Appeals and Oregon Supreme Court.My hobbies include cycling, running, listening to music, running, computers, and recently, triathlons.
