Why should you hire a skilled personal injury lawyer?
Your family is at risk financially; and you may not be fully aware of your legal rights or all of the ramifications of your claim.
Most likely, you've had little contact with the legal system, but you'll now be negotiating with insurance claims adjusters and/or lawyers who are highly experienced and whose agenda is to avoid responsibility for paying you a fair settlement. To defeat them, you need your own aggressive and creative lawyers. Our lawyers are known for their skill, dedication, and tenacity in fighting for the people of Maine.
Our goal is the same as yours: to maximize the amount of your settlement or verdict. Berman & Simmons attorneys hold many of the largest personal injury verdicts ever obtained in Maine courts. And every year we successfully settle hundreds of cases before they reach trial.

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 all accident and personal injury 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.
