In 2023, it’s common for people to research almost everything on the internet, including lawyers. If you were recently injured in a car accident, you would likely turn to the internet to help find a car accident lawyer.
Commonly searched terms might be “Portland car accident lawyer” or “best car accident lawyers in Portland.” The search engine will likely produce many results and potentially hundreds of lawyers and law firms.
It’s important to remember that most of these search results are not vetted.
Instead, they are often paid for and not based on client reviews or ratings. In this article, we compiled a reliable and concise list of the six best car accident lawyers in Portland.
You can use this as guidance and a starting point for conducting further research and scheduling initial consultations.
At Mann Law, we genuinely care about protecting the rights of accident victims and holding the people responsible for causing their injuries liable. We hate to see accident victims treated like just another number.
Sadly, some of the giant law firms with billboards, radio and TV advertisements, and bus ads often take on huge caseloads.
Because of their large volume of cases, they may not be able to provide the individualized attention your case deserves. Therefore, we decided to compile a list of the top 6 best personal injury attorneys in the Portland area that we have personally interacted with.
You might be thinking, why would we do this? The answer is more simple than you might think. Personal injury encompasses many types of claims, accidents, and injuries. Personal injury lawyers might represent clients in a wide array of cases or specialize in a particular area of personal injury law.
We are confident that we can help get you the compensation you need, and we sincerely hope to assist you with your accident claim. But if you choose to go with another firm, we want to help ensure you find the best representation possible.
We hope you will reach out to us when you need a personal injury lawyer, but if you still need to, we encourage you to take advantage of the following list of the best car accident attorneys in Portland.
Christiana “Chrissy” Mann, founding partner of Mann Law, has dedicated her nearly two-decade career to civil litigation. She prides herself on providing compassionate representation to her clients while simultaneously being a zealous and fierce advocate in the courtroom.
Earlier in her career, Chrissy litigated cases for a large, well-known insurance defense firm in Easton, MA. Her time there gave her unique insight into how defense counsel thinks and strategizes. Now, she uses this insider knowledge to your benefit if you hire her to represent you.
Before establishing Mann Law, Chrissy worked at a personal injury firm and recognized and developed her passion for helping individuals injured by someone else’s conduct.
In 2010 and 2011, she was one of a few attorneys in the State of Maine to be designated the New England Super Lawyers “Rising Star” award in the field of personal injury law. In 2012, Chrissy was also selected to the prestigious National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40 list.
Since establishing Mann Law, Chrissy has worked to make each client a top priority, not just a number. Chrissy has been recognized as a Top 100 Trial Lawyer, Super Lawyer, & Rising Star. In 2019, Mann Law was rated AV Preeminent by Martindale-Hubbell.
Chrissy is a Maine native, a proud wife, and a proud mother who attributes her unparalleled work ethic to her Maine upbringing.
Terry Garmey of Garmey Law was the first lawyer from Maine to be invited to the Inner Circle of Advocates, an organization that is composed of the top 100 plaintiff lawyers in the country. He has appeared on Good Morning America, the Today Show, and many other news outlets nationwide.
While Terry appreciates these recognitions, his true motivation lies with his clients. He keeps a photo of one of his near and dearest clients in his office, an 8-year-old boy crushed to death by an elevator. Terry helped the young boy’s parents hold the elevator company liable to ensure the same tragedy would not plague another family.
Terry has a successful career representing accident victims in some of the most horrific personal injury cases.
The National Trial Lawyers have recognized Tim Zerillo of the Zerillo Law Firm as one of their “Top 100” attorneys. He has been elected to New England Super Lawyers every year since 2010 and, throughout that time, has won numerous trials, motion hearings, and victorious settlements for his clients.
Tim’s civil practice focuses on complex tort, personal injury, and wrongful death claims. He represents victims with some of the most severe injuries, including paralysis, amputations, and other serious permanent injuries.
Before becoming a lawyer, Tim was an Allstate Insurance Company claims representative. He uses his unique insurance industry knowledge to ensure his clients receive the best possible settlements and awards.
Benjamin Gideon of Gideon Asen has recovered tens of millions of dollars for victims of car and trucking accidents, including more than $11 million in actions against major automobile manufacturers, including Chrysler, Fiat, Toyota, and Hyundai. He has been named one of the Best Lawyers in America every year since 2013 and was named “Lawyer of the Year” for the State of Maine twice.
In 2019, he became the second attorney in Maine to be inducted into the Inner Circle of Advocates, an invitation-only group of the best 100 plaintiff lawyers in the United States. If you are the victim of a particularly horrific or complex automobile accident, Mr. Gideon may be able to offer you a unique representation.
Christian Lewis of Hardy Wolf & Downing has helped victims of serious accidents for over 16 years. Chris attributes much of his success to his belief in being mindful of client concerns and developing a professional relationship of mutual trust and respect with the people he serves.
Chris is a past President of the Maine Trial Lawyers Association (MTLA). He is also the President of the Board for the Maine Volunteer Lawyers Project, and is a member of the Town of Cumberland Board of Adjustment and Appeals as well as the Maine Bar Association.
