Located just outside of Portland, ME, I'm proud to fight for the rights of Maine’s citizens. By focusing only on Social Security Disability Law in Maine, I've become highly experienced in the field. I use our knowledge and understanding of the law to help win you the disability benefits you need. I am familiar with the system and with the judges, local doctors and other professionals who help decide whether or not you receive disability benefits. I’ll work closely with you to handle your case. Every case we handle is important to me.
