Outstanding Council!

Robert was persistent and compassionate with me regarding my case. However, in the courtroom he was aggressive, persuasive, and in control at all times. I would highly recommend him for any case. Especially those that are criminal. He will be my lawyer for any future needs.

Domestic Violence Charge

I had been brought up on Domestic Violence and Domestic Criminal Threatening charges. Having never before been charged with anything, I really didn't know what to do. I was told I needed a good criminal defense attorney. I did a lot of searching, checking, and talking, and finally settling on going w...ith Bob, I was not disappointed. From the very beginning, Bob kept me informed of what was going on, he was always available to speak, and if he was in court, he would get back to me in a timely fashion, he also would do the same on weekends, considering my work schedule. My future truly looked bleak, especially when it came to owning firearms again. The State was pushing hard for a conviction, with no sign of relenting. Bob was a true professional, in every step of the way. I felt comfortable with him as my attorney. What I thought would be over in a month or so, dragged on for 5 months. In the end, through Bob's hard work, coupled with his vast knowledge in this field, I plead to a criminal threatening charge, a misdemeanor, and I was able to get all of my firearms back. No jail time, no probation., no fines, no going to classes. Thanks to Bob's hard work, and his experience in criminal defense, I was able to walk away a very happy man. I strongly urge anyone, who is looking for a criminal defense attorney, to look no further than Robert LeBrasseur. He knows what he is doing, he has the background and experience in criminal defense to offer you the legal help you are searching for and need. If the need ever arises again, where I need legal counsel for criminal defense, I know exactly where to go.

NEED CRIMINAL DEFENSE IN MAINE? LOOK NO FURTHER THAN BOB!

When I approached Bob several weeks ago, I found myself in the midst of a hellacious nightmare! As a victim defendant, I was twice the victim - first the victim of abuse and then false accusations leading to my arrest. A month ago was the penultimate WORST week OF MY LIFE. In our exploratory discussi...ons via phone, before retaining Bob, he exemplified qualities of empathy, professionalism and sound counsel stemming from experience in criminal defense as well as time spent in the past on the prosecutor side of things. Once retained, Bob worked quickly and diligently to ensure that the case be dismissed on the grounds that the accusation was unsubstantiated. Within JUST ONE WEEK, Bob was able to execute a dismissal. I was so relieved and will forever feel indebted to Bob for helping me chart the course to a dismissal. Bob was able to get the case dismissed the day before we were scheduled to go to court for the first time. I NEVER had to go to court for Bob to resolve this situation. If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney characterized as empathetic, smart, professional, experienced, prompt, responsive, personable, informative and knowledgeable - Bob is your guy! Having spent time as a prosecutor years ago as mentioned, Bob is keenly aware of both sides of the system and adeptly applies this knowledge to your case. It was one of the reasons why I elected to retain him after speaking with two other attorneys first. Again, I will always feel indebted to Bob for helping me respond to false claims arriving at dismissal. Thank you Bob. I will never forget what you did to defend my innocence!

Truely Cares About His Clients

I had a Juvenile matter with my daughter that could have effected her college applications. Bob took the time to explain to her that the choices she was making could follow her for a very long time. He was able to have the case dismissed with thirty hours of community service. I can not thank him ...enough.

Great attorney

I was charged with felony theft and attorney Lebrasseur was able to get my case dismissed by having me pay back the money I stole. I am very thankful for this. I like to hunt and a felony would stop my hunting.
