About Peter
Biography
My brother Jim and I are pleased to announce the formation of Clifford & Clifford LLC with offices in Kennebunk and Portland. A predecessor firm, also known as Clifford and Clifford, was founded in 1915 in Lewiston by our grandfather and his brother. It existed for nearly a century, until 2000, and included a number of judges and public service oriented attorneys. We hope to continue this tradition going forward and look forward to working with many of you!

Peter Clifford
Peter negotiated a very reasonable settlement in a Personal Injury case for me. Peter was very communicative with me and always was very prompt to respond to my questions and concerns. I am pleased with the service and the results.

Great job
Peter took on a slip and fall case for me when others would not. In the end I got a reasonable settlement. Peter always took the time to respond to my messages , and explained things very well Thank you Peter

Real Estate Mortgage Foreclosure case
Outstanding representation for our case. RE cases in Maine go through many phases to finally get to trial. Peter had some new theories to learn early on and invested the time to consult with an expert so he had the very best defenses available for our representation. The Mediation phase has gone well...
