Our firm was formed in 2020 with just three attorneys and endless determination. As our reputation continued to grow, so did the demand for our services beyond Maine’s borders. We’ve expanded thoughtfully and deliberately, bringing on talented attorneys from other states who share the same grounded values we were built on. Each new addition strengthens our ability to serve clients nationwide, while our culture remains firmly anchored in honesty, integrity, and the work ethic that defines our firm. At Steve Smith Trial Lawyers, we don’t believe justice is won by chance. It’s earned through relentless preparation, fearless advocacy, and unwavering commitment to the people we serve. From high-stakes criminal defense and complex civil litigation to high conflict family law, medical malpractice, and personal injury cases, our attorneys bring decades of combined experience, reliability, and compassion to every case. At our core, we are more than lawyers. Our advocacy is rooted in real-world experience. Clients turn to us when everything is on the line, their freedom, their family, their financial security, or their future. We take that responsibility personally. Walking beside our clients, empowering them, and providing them with the confidence to move forward, we proudly fight for Maine, and for you.
