Welcome to Maine’s Top-Ranked Personal Injury Law Firm

Berman & Simmons, P.A. is a fifteen-attorney personal injury law firm headquartered in historic downtown Lewiston, Maine with offices in Portland, Bangor, and Biddeford, Maine.

The story of Berman & Simmons began in 1914 when Benjamin Berman opened his doors on Lisbon Street in Lewiston. Berman and his brother David became known as trusted advocates for the men and women who worked at the city’s many textile mills and shoe factories. Their commitment to working Mainers ― no matter their wealth, background, or circumstances ― and their willingness to take on the most difficult and controversial cases remain hallmarks of our firm.
