Appellate Law
Berman & Simmons trial lawyers pursue our clients' rights on the appellate level with the same excellent and aggressive effort that we use for trial work—and with the same successful results.
Our appellate specialists aggressively, imaginatively and successfully fight for the rights of ordinary people against big corporations and insurance companies in well-written and researched briefs and in oral argument before Maine's appellate courts. One of our lawyers has argued more cases in the Maine Supreme Judicial Court than any other private lawyer in Maine; and he was recently unanimously elected to the elite American Academy of Appellate Lawyers.
Always on the cutting edge of legal developments, we have taken hundreds of cases to the Maine Supreme Judicial Court and the First Circuit Court of Appeals since the firm was founded in 1914. In the process, we have created or significantly expanded the rights of injured people in many areas of tort and insurance law, including personal injury, underinsured motorist coverage, and products liability.

How much will our services cost?
You may be wondering how you will pay legal fees while your lawsuit is pending. The good news is—you won't pay anything upfront. We represent clients on a contingent fee basis. This means we receive fees for our services only if we win. When we've successfully prevailed upon the responsible party or insurer to pay you, that's when we'll receive our payment, as well. Your lawsuit begins with a free case evaluation with a Berman & Simmons lawyer. We will thoroughly explain the details of our fee arrangement during this first consultation.
Why have so many other lawyers and Maine residents come to us over the years? The answer is simple: we get outstanding results.
