About Laraine

Practicing law for over 30 years, to serve my clients' needs and guide them to obtain their goals

I have been practicing law for over 30 years.  Along the way I have developed hobbies.....my paintings are displayed on my office walls, and I play the bass guitar.  I enjoy hiking, biking and golfing and Acadia National Park and keep these fun things alive and well so they nourish my ability to continue to serve my clients with a refreshed and positive outlook

Review Laraine Schwartz

A pleasure to work with on my business purchase...

Posted by GThu Aug 27 2015

I hired Laraine to work with me on purchasing a business. Laraine was incredibly supportive and responsive to my phone calls and emails. The guidance she provided me was always clear and concise. I never felt lost in "legalese" and the process was conducted in an efficient and timely manner. I plan on working with Laraine on my other endeavors as this is my first experience with an attorney who is caring, not only as a professional, but as a person.
