Welcome to Maine Legal Research & Writing

Has caselaw got you behind the 8-ball?

Does a statute loom ominous?

Are you too pressed for time?

Do you just want to win?

If so, I’d love to write your brief for you.

For over 20 years I’ve combined thorough research with a plain-speaking style to effect a variety of changes in Maine law and legal policy. Now I’m offering those skills to lawyers like you.

Please review my professional background, including my varied experiences as a judge in Maine state courts, as a litigator in private practice and in a prosecutor’s office, and as a Visiting Scholar at the Harvard Law School. I also invite you to examine a selection of my published articles and judicial decisions.

I look forward to putting my skills and experience to work for you.
