    • I recommend Philip deMaine.

    Phil was always pleasant, informed, capable and intelligent from pretrial preparation to the resolution of the trial. I always felt confident with my legal team with Phil in the lead.

    • I recommend Philip deMaine.
    • I hired Philip 6-12 months ago.
    • Philip handled my Medical Malpractice matter.
    • I have previously worked with more than 10 lawyers.

    Mr. deMaine did a fantastic job on a complex malpractice case. He was very helpful in all aspects of the trial and did a particularly good job preparing me for the deposition and cross examination. This was a difficult case to defend but the verdict was for all of the defendants.

    • I recommend Philip deMaine.
    • I hired Philip 1-3 years ago.
    • Philip handled my Car / Auto Accident matter.
    • I have previously worked with 6-10 lawyers.

    After an auto accident on I-5 that resulted in medical injuries, I initially chose to work directly with insurers on both sides of the issue--car repairs, insurer statements, medical billing and reimbursement. When the one year anniversary arrived, bills had begun to pile up, I had to deal with an independent medical exam ordered by the insurer, and had to spend more and more time negotiating with the insurers, medical providers and my health insurer. With a full time job, I found it impossible to keep up. Phil deMaine and colleagues made it easy--I must say I had low expectations, hoping only that the billing back and forth communications with the insurers and providers would be resolved. I handed it all over to him. Financially, my final settlement far, far exceeded my expectations. He kept me informed throughout the process, and his responses to my queries by email or phone were prompt and efficient. This comes from a person who likes to control matters and is more inclined to be suspicious and questioning--Phil is solid and trustworthy. Thank you Phil and colleagues!

    Lawyers, by nature, make me nervous, but Phil went out of his way to make me feel comfortable. He clearly had the situation under control, he always kept me in the loop, and there were no surprises. Phil, quite simply, took a potentially very stressful situation, and got a wonderful outcome for me. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

    • Philip handled my Medical Malpractice matter.
    • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

    As a medical professional, I never thought a malpractice suit would be brought against me. When I found out I was scared, uncertain, and completely stressed out. Luckily, my malpractice carrier introduced me to Philip deMaine. Throughout the three year ordeal and three week long trial, Mr. deMaine served as excellent counsel. Not only was he knowledgeable, prompt, trustworthy, and always on time, I truly felt like he was on my side. Most importantly we won! I hope I'll never have to go through that again in my life, but if I do, Philip deMaine would be the first person I call.

    • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

    This attorney defended me in a civil matter. Phil is an outstanding character, with a dedication rarely seen in any professional. His attention and focus was perhaps like that of a neurosurgeon who literally holds his patient's life in his hands while operating. Total commitment and attention to detail with remarkable intensity is the manner he conducted himself during trial. Additionally, he was a consummate professional in open court, and commanded the attention of the jury at all times.
    Phil breaks all the stereotypes we have about lawyers, and he singlehandedly restored my faith and respect in the legal profession. He would be my first choice in an attorney to represent me.
