About John
Biography
I just celebrated my 24th year of practicing law, and still enjoy it as much now as I did in 1992. Going to Maine Maritime Academy and working for the Navy as a civilian engineer seems like it was just yesterday. I am looking forward to another 15+ years of practice as a criminal defense lawyer and hope to expand my OUI practice into the area of science and drugs. Thanks to all my clients over the years that continue to support me. Visit us at WEBB LAW FIRM, 16 Middle Street in Saco, Maine and at

The Man you want for Your Case
This attorney and Firm came highly recommended to me by a friend in a time of great need. I, myself, was not exactly an easy client deal with. Being a Retired Police Officer; never having been in trouble with the law; and feeling totally victimized by circumstances, he and his very attentive Staff ...

Look No Further
The reason I originally hired Mr. Webb was not only the fact that he came highly recommended, but also the way he handled our consultation. He was extremely straightforward with me, and never guaranteed me any specific outcome, as many other attorneys tried to do. He simply guaranteed that he would w...

Top Notch Attorney
I hired John twice to help with two different legal situations. He was outstanding in every regard for both cases. For one of the cases, we were led to believe it was hopeless, until we met John Webb. John much to my surprise took the case, and gave us hope. I know for a fact he worked over and ...

If you get arrested in Maine I could not recommend Attorney John Webb more highly. He is intelligent, tenacious, and will fight to get you the best result possible.

Attorney Webb is not only an exceptional lawyer, he is a lawyer you can trust. His knowledge of the law and his skill in the courtroom make him a formidable adversary. Attorney Webb’s persuasive abilities have given him a national reputation as one of the finest advocates for the accused citizen. Without hesitation, I strongly endorse Attorney Webb."
"John is one of the top DUI lawyers in the country. His reputation as such is well known within the legal community. His knowledge of the science of alcohol testing is unmatched. John and I have known each other for years and quite frequently I have sought his counsel defending my own DUI clients in Southern California. Call him. He is the lawyer you want defending you for a DUI."
