Berman & Simmons ranked as best law firm in Maine for plaintiffs

LEWISTON, Maine, June 6, 2017 – Berman & Simmons has once again been ranked as the best law firm in Maine for representing plaintiffs in personal injury cases and other civil disputes.

The firm was the only one in the state to be ranked in the ‘Litigation: Mainly Plaintiff’ practice area by Chambers, the London-based publisher of global law firm rankings, in its 2017 Chambers USA directory released May 26.

Additionally, Chambers selected only seven individual lawyers in Maine for recognition as outstanding lawyers for plaintiffs. Four of the seven are from Berman & Simmons: Steven Silin of Freeport, Julian Sweet of Portland, and Jodi Nofsinger of Portland. The rankings recognize these attorneys as among the very best in their fields for representing plaintiffs in medical malpractice and personal injury cases.

The rankings also reflect the law firm’s longstanding reputation as the dominant firm in Maine for personal injury and medical malpractice cases. Based in Lewiston, Maine, the law firm has three regional offices and 17 attorneys serving clients throughout Maine.

“Berman & Simmons is committed to providing the highest level of service to our clients from the first meeting through jury verdict,” said Craig Bramley, Managing Director of the firm. “These rankings reflect that our attorneys have the skill to achieve outstanding results in the most complex and challenging cases. We’re proud that Chambers USA recognizes the diligence, professionalism and collaboration that our team brings to the table.”
