"It is a privilege to be recognized by our peers and clients again this year," said Managing Director Susan Faunce. "Our team takes on high-stakes cases against well-resourced insurers, hospital systems, government agencies, and established institutions. Every client we serve gets both our full legal firepower and our personal care."
We want to congratulate our team for earning these recognitions, which are in part earned due to the law firm’s history of incredible case results. For example, in June 2026, Attorneys Travis Brennan and Chuck Hehmeyer secured a $23.1 million jury verdict for a Madawaska man left paralyzed by medical negligence.
