If you were recently injured in a car accident and are contemplating filing a lawsuit, you are likely thinking you need an attorney
You are also probably feeling overwhelmed by the number of responses the internet is spewing out. You may search for “injury lawyers” or even “best personal injury lawyers in Portland”, and find there are a lot. We understand how difficult this time is in your life and how overwhelming it can be to choose the right personal injury lawyer.
That is why, in this article, we compiled a list of the six best personal injury lawyers in Portland. You can use this as a guide in your pursuit of legal counsel.
As you read through this article, note that we are not Google or Yelp. Meaning, we are not paid to post these recommendations or reviews. We are simply offering our honest opinion on colleagues in the personal injury field.
At Mann Law, we are dedicated to helping accident victims seek the justice they deserve while protecting their rights and advocating for their best interests. We treat clients with personalized attention and hate when attorneys and law firms do otherwise.
Unfortunately, many large injury firms spend lots of money on ads only to treat clients like another number. Therefore, we decided to compile a list of the top 6 personal injury lawyers in the Portland, Maine area. These are lawyeres we have interacted with and can personally vet.
Naturally, you are probably wondering, why would you recommend potential clients to other firms? Well, the answer is straightforward.
Personal injury covers various accident types, injuries, claims, defendants, and clients. Many personal injury lawyers focus their practice on a specific niche of the personal injury arena. Some firms can take on more clients than others.
There are many reasons why a particular firm or attorney may not be the right fit for your case. And while we sincerely hope we can help you, we want to rest assured that you are in good hands if we cannot. We encourage you to use the following list of the best personal injury lawyers in Portland.
Christiana “Chrissy” Mann founded Mann Law, a women-run law firm, to help accident victims seek the justice they deserve. Since its inception, her firm has provided clients with exceptional representation with a compassionate approach. In 2019, Mann Law received Martindale-Hubbell’s AV Preeminent rating, a well-respected and prestigious award among the legal community.
In 2010 and 2011, Chrissy was one of only a few personal injury lawyers in Maine to be named to the New England Super Lawyers “Rising Star” list. Chrissy has also been recognized as a Top 100 Trial Lawyer and selected to the prestigious National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40 list.
She is a Maine native and proud wife and mother who attributes much of her success to her Maine upbringing.
Earlier in her career, Chrissy litigated cases for a large, well-known insurance defense firm in Easton, MA. This experience on the defense side of injury cases has enabled her to zealously advocate for her accident victim clients. Her background has uniquely suited her to understand the inner workings of insurance companies and how to win against them.
Before opening Mann Law, Chrissy also worked at a personal injury firm. There, she recognized and developed her passion for helping individuals injured by someone’s negligence.
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.
Jason M. Jabar of Jabar Liberty, LLC was named to the “Top 40 Under 40” list at the National Trial Lawyers Association Summit in Miami. For the past five years, he has been named to the “Super Lawyers” list in personal injury by the reputable Super Lawyers Magazine. He has also received a “superb” rating of 10 on Avvo.
Jason routinely obtains six- and seven-figure verdicts and settlements. He has recovered tens of millions of dollars for his clients in personal injury settlements and judgments, including $1.7 million, $3.9 million, and $4.5 million settlements. Other Maine personal injury attorneys often refer cases to Jason because of his reputation and experience in personal injury law.
Craig Bramley of Berman & Simmons won two of the most significant medical negligence awards in Maine history―a $9 million verdict in 2001 and an $8 million verdict in 2007. Not only does he have an impressive record of success in the courtroom, but Craig has written and presented extensively on medical malpractice and trial practice, including the pre-litigation screening panel process.
Uniquely, Craig is at the forefront of using advanced computer technology and has assisted his firm in becoming a leader in using trial presentation software, digital imaging, and video to help juries fully understand catastrophic injuries and their causes.
George Goldberg of Goldberg & Loren has achieved numerous verdicts and settlements of over $1 million for his clients. For nearly three decades since its inception, his firm has collectively handled over 20,000 cases, including various personal injury cases. George is admitted to practice in a dozen jurisdictions and has expanded his firm to help accident victims nationwide.
Benjamin Gideon of Gideon Asen has recovered more than $130 million in verdicts and settlements for his clients. He has achieved 31 verdicts or settlements in excess of $1 million each. Benjamin has been named to Best Lawyers in America every year since 2013 and was named “Lawyer of the Year” for the State of Maine twice.
He became the second lawyer in Maine to be inducted into the Inner Circle of Advocates, a prestigious invitation-only group of the best 100 plaintiff lawyers in the country. Benjamin has a hard-to-achieve a 10 out of 10 rating on AVVO and is a champion for his clients.
One of these six personal injury attorneys may be the right one for you, or maybe not, but either way, we encourage you to use this list as a starting point in your search for a lawyer. Most personal injury lawyers offer free consultations. Take advantage of that to find the right fit for your case.
Most people think a consultation is only a time for the lawyer to learn about you and your case. However, it is an opportunity to learn about the attorney, ask questions, and understand whether this is the lawyer or firm for you.
At Mann Law, we were named one of the best personal injury law firms of 2022 because of our successful track record and our honesty, commitment, and compassion toward our clients. Let us assist you in seeking the compensation you deserve for your injuries and trauma.
