Kennebec County Lawyers

I have been practicing law since 2005. I represent people charged with crimes in Maine state courts in a number of coastal counties. My practice regularly brings me to Androscoggin, Cumberland, Kennebec, Knox, Lincoln, Sagadahoc, York, and Waldo counties. My clients typically have cases in Superior Court and District Court. The people I help range from juveniles to adults. Everyone deserves a vigorous defense, every case is important, and everyone deserves to be treated with respect. I do not judge my clients, I defend them.

I grew up on the shores of Sebec Lake in rural Maine. I attended Princeton University and then returned to Maine with the intention of practicing law. My entire 15 year career has been spent in the Courtroom litigating criminal cases - first as a prosecutor and now for 10 years defending persons charged with crimes in both State and Federal Courts throughout the State.

I love learning and working across cultures and am a strong believer in the need to attract new immigrants to this region.
