Richard A. Charest

Richard was a remarkable lawyer in my circumstance, I had a small history of minor charges, and when I was really being screwed by the state and the corrupt probation office and was locked up with zero evidence and zero wrongdoing! Richard fought for my behalf and was a great lawyer communicated with... my family and made sure he worked hard for my sake! Went to court and we won my case! Judge sided with us!!!!! I had other lawyers as a indigent and wouldn't want anyone else to help me!!! Richard is highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He will work for you NOT the state!!!!!!!!

Honestly I've been in trouble a few times throughout my life in my experience in Maine many of the defense attorneys work closely with the prosecutors I have seen defense attorneys trade one client for another letting one client get her shirt I'm so they could get a better deal for a different one I ...think this is disgusting Behavior Richard not that kind of lawyer he fights for each and every one of his people he made sure that instead of doing 3 years in jail I received a reasonable deal I have mental health issues and co-occurring disorder at the time of my mistake I had lost all my insurance and therefore was off all of my meds homeless and self-medicating it took over a year from my first arrest 2 my sentencing in that time I had gotten back on my meds been in treatment found a home got approved for disability and got my life back on track completely yet they still wanted me to lose all that and go to jail for years Richard was not having any of that he fought for me over and over again until we got a reasonable offer I did do a tiny bit of jail time but my treatment wasn't put off track because of it I was continued to get my meds even though I was in jail and I maintained all my benefits it was the best outcome possible in the situation you couldn't ask for somebody better in the area
