This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great work

Caitlin works with us on our landscaping business and recently updated our estate plans. She is easy to work with and always fast to repond to questions.

Thorough and professional

Caitlin was a fantastic resource for my property management business, especially when we were first getting off the ground. She helped us with all aspects of the filing process for our LLC and reviews/rewrites our lease contracts as necessary to keep up with everchanging Maine laws. She is availabl...e anytime I call with questions. I’m very confident should a dispute ever arise, my businesses rights are protected thanks to Caitlin’s thorough and professional work.

Professional, competent and QUICK turnaround!

We found Caitlin through Avvo and she did elder law and long term care planning for my mother. We needed to get it taken care of quickly and she was wonderfully accommodating and got everything we needed done very quickly. I am now going to use her to collect on unpaid rents from former tenants.

Highly recommended

Caitlin had done collections work for our office for two years as well as our estate planning documents. She is accessible, hard working and incredibly diligent.

Recommended Attorney

Ms. LoCascio-King assisted both myself and my parents with estate planning. She did a very thorough job and was very adept at working with older clients.

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.
