Besides being a great lawyer Robert is a good person. For years I have watched this man perform miracles in the courtroom.

You will not get a better lawyer in the State of Maine. Robert is competent and he will always fight for you. He explains things very well so there is no confusion. I've watched him for years go out of his way to help anyone.

Criminal Charge

Mr. LeBrasseur not only successful won a dismissal in my criminal case but he was with me every step of the way. His communication with me was unwavering. He was respectful, present and professional. Hopefully I will never need a criminal case attorney again but let's say hypothetically I did, I woul...d undoubtedly pick this gentleman. I suggest if you need criminal representation of any kind you strongly consider his services. Thank you -Nick D

Great at what he does

Bob stepped in when my attorney took ill and had to leave his practice. He was efficient and took time to make sure I understood the process and possible outcomes. He had my case all taken care of within a matter of months instead of dragging it out. He is very personable and yet very professional. I... would recommend his to anyone having criminal charges.

"I write to highly endorse Robert LeBrasseur and to warmly recommend him to anyone searching for a highly qualified, articulate, and practical attorney - a trait that is becoming more and more rare in the legal community. Robert is smart enough to listen before responding, again an increasingly rare trait, and is a very passionate and zealot advocate who genuinely cares about his clients, and the legal process. His ethics are beyond reproach. ."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
