I am from Biddeford and I spent 13 years in the Air Force and then came home after an injury.  I went to Biddeford schools and returned after the Air force to help my community.  One thing I have realized is that everyone needs a lawyer at some point and having someone who grew up here and knows the area and the people is comforting.I chose this second career because I wanted to protect my grandparents.  I wanted to learn how to protect all they had worked so long to build.  Estate planning is why I went to law school, but while I was there I learned there were other ways to help people and to protect people's rights.  I do this because I love the law and I absolutely love to help people.  It makes me feel good when someone leaves the office and they are smiling because we just created their new business, or created a plan to ensure their wishes are kept regarding their estate, or because they just bought or sold their home.  There is no greater feeling than watching someone smile because you helped them meet their goal.. Give me a call and let's see if I can help guide you through a difficult time or work for you to help you reach your goals.Best,. Jason
