Workers compensation case

Adrienne was a true professional throughout the entire process of handling my case. She commands an extensive knowledge of her field of law as well as a perfect temperament for her chosen profession. She employs a methodical approach to your case and has a willingness to explain things in such a way... that puts your mind at ease making sure you understand all aspects of the process. I would recommend Adriennes services to anyone in need of a first rate Workers compensation attorney.

Best lawyer in Maine!

Through my emotionally difficult situation, the whole team made my experience easy and less painful. The whole process was so quick, and I got the exact outcome I was hoping for. I highly recommend Adrienne for your workers compensation needs. She and her team, definitely get the job done!

Sharp, Efficient and Thorough!

Adrienne represented me after a work related injury which left me in very difficult circumstances. From the day she accepted my case she pursued it with vigor and enthusiasm. She kept me up to date at every turn in the case. Besides being very professional, experienced and competent she truly cared ...about me and was fully committed to seeing justice served. I never had a doubt that I was being represented by one of the best in the business. I would highly recommend (and have) her in a heartbeat to anyone having a Workers Compensation related issue.

Kind and compassionate. Knowledgeable and experienced.

Adrienne assisted me through a very traumatizing worker’s compensation dispute. She was an assertive pillar of strength and stood up for my rights when I was at my most fragile. Adrienne maintained communication, keeping me up to date with any progress and needs with the case. She has a wealth of ...knowledge and information that was invaluable to my legal needs. The quality I admire most about Adrienne is that she advocated on my behalf and represented my needs while maintaining respect to the opposing counsel. I feel that her ethical actions and respectful bargaining was more beneficial to the outcome of my case than the momentary bliss I would have gained from bashing and name-calling. I highly recommend Adrienne’s services to anyone in need of a worker’s compensation lawyer.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
