Excellent Attorney! Krisine has assisted me multiple times all with positive end results.

Kristine is an awesome attorney. She has basically given me my life back and I appreciate everything that has been been done for me.

Kristine and Alison are not recommended. You will be thoroughly disappointed. Alison is easily flustered. She does not recall conversations accurately.

Following my arrest, I consulted a few different law offices in southern Maine, ultimately deciding on Kristine Hanly’s. Kristine met with me personally and worked around my schedule. While the other attorneys would not give straight answers when asked about possible best-case scenarios though were all-too-eager to provide the worst-case ones, Kristine patiently helped me understand the complete range of potential outcomes while also managing realistic expectations. Throughout our contact, she also maintained a constant professional empathy to the stress brought on by my case. Even when in court, Kristine made it her priority to meet with me before, after, and during the proceeding, to help make sure I was aware of all that was happening. This was a courtesy that seemed more of an exception than the rule among the other attorneys. In the end, she was able to get my case dismissed without any loss in my privileges as a Mainer. She also spared me multiple appearances throughout the duration of the case, reached out to private parties on my behalf, going beyond her duty as my attorney, and was able to work with my financial situation in scheduling payments. Upon successful resolution of my case, Kristine made it clear that even though everything was resolved, she would still be available should I have any questions later on. While the whole situation was unfortunate, the one choice I made that I feel good about was contacting Kristine Hanly! I cannot recommend her enough!

She was kind informative just a lovely

Matt was amazing from day 1 right through the trial ... told me exactly what mattered and what didn’t ... focused in on which part of my trial he thought we could win with and he went out and won it ... was completly prepared all the time and was completely prepared in trial and unflappable ... Amazing experience

I've heard this firm referred to as belonging in the NewEnglands Top Elite Lawyers ; more , & more often in various social circles . They have established themselves solidly right out of the gate.... Setting the bar high in expected standards.. for their peers to be held, regarding their performance.

Matt and Joanne were very helpful in dealing with my first time OUI Charge. My case was complicated by living out of Maine, Matt was able to answer all of my questions thoroughly about Maine and many of the questions I had about my home state. An OUI Charge is very complicated, you need someone knowledgeable on your side and this firm is just that. I will never find myself in this embarrassing situation again, but would not hesitate to contact Matt Nichols if I were.

I retained the services of Nichols and Webb after being arrested on an OUI charge. I cannot imagine anyone, inside or outside of law enforcement and/or the legal profession that has a more thorough understanding of the numerous nuances and subtleties surrounding the legalities (and pitfalls) of the OUI arrest process, prosecution and defense than Attorney Matt Nichols. He is meticulous in his review of the arrest record and scrutinizes every aspect for abnormalities in SOP by Law Enforcement personnel. I would highly recommend Nichols and Webb for anyone finding themselves in the unfortunate position of being charged with this offense... I believe you will find them to be your best alternative for a strong and creative (and hopefully, successful) defense.

Got caught with my first oui last summer and Sarah took my case and she did the absolute best and more than I could have asked for. Highly recommend this firm for anybody!!

Couldn't be happier with the representation I received! Honest, straightforward, consistent, hard work and determination are what come to mind when I think of how my attorney Roger handled my case over the course of 2 years. He legitimately has his clients best interest as his own. Incredibly professional. God forbid I ever need representation again, Roger brunell will be the Attorney I call. Highly highly recommended to anyone looking to get the absolute best results from their case with professionalism to be present the every step of the way.

As you are reading this review, we offer our most sincere condolences for the situation that has caused you to consider a lawyer. Our 11 year old son suffered a horrific injury 8 months ago. It was and is a life changing experience, obviously for him, but also the family as a whole. I called Roger in December of 2020 for much needed assistance and guidance and as of June 2021 all legal aspects are complete. Roger is knowledgeable, hard working, very down-to-earth and extremely caring. He treated our 11 year old with care, courtesy and concern. And rightfully so, he treated him as the young man that he is. He treated our entire family like... well, family. If you're interested in time consuming, migraine causing legalese and mumbo jumbo...then he is definitely not your guy. If you want an attorney that tells it like it is and works hard for his client, then I highly recommend Roger Brunelle.

As a client of Roger Brunelle, my experience with him was better than I hoped for. I trusted his abilities throughout the entire process and he was able to secure me a deal which avoided me jail time. I can't recommend him enough.

Roger was very professional and helped me navigate through my zoom court date! He has great people skills and worked hard to get me the best end result possible. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great lawyer! Thanks for all your help Roger!

Roger did an amazing job helping my son get the best deal possible. I would recommend Rodger to anyone who needs a lawyer. Very professional and helpful!
