Dan once practiced in other areas of law, but came to realize that criminal defense is the work he cares most deeply about. It is also work that deserves undivided attention. When someone's reputation, livelihood, freedom, or even life may be at stake, he wants to devote his time, energy, and professional focus to that responsibility.
Throughout Maine, in both state and federal criminal matters.
Dan chose Pineland Farms in New Gloucester as a place where clients can focus on meeting with him, and he can focus on their cases. Its convenient location, peaceful setting, and privacy help make that possible. Cases are stressful enough.
No. Dan accepts privately retained cases across every class of crime, from such minor offenses as cutting a Christmas tree on another person's land without written permission (12 M.R.S. § 8842-A), passing a stopped school bus, and criminal speeding, to serious state and federal felonies, including rape and murder. He values the variety of criminal defense and understands how much every case matters to the person facing it.
Keeping the practice small allows Dan to be selective about the cases he accepts and deliberate about his caseload. Clients receive direct access to their lawyer, careful attention from beginning to end, and strong value for their legal fees.
No. A lawyer’s willingness and ability to try a case can strengthen negotiations. Dan uses his trial experience to develop favorable facts and defenses and make their significance clear to prosecutors. That preparation can help achieve a favorable resolution without trial, while keeping trial a credible option.
All privately retained cases are handled on a flat-fee basis. The fee and scope of representation are set out in the engagement agreement.
Dan accepts credit cards, debit cards, bank checks, personal checks, and cash. A payment link for credit or debit cards is generally included with the contract. The initial flat fee is paid up front, with a separate trial fee in most cases. Separating the trial fee keeps the initial cost more manageable.
