Berman & Simmons

United States 2025

Overview

Berman & Simmons is Maine’s leading personal injury and medical malpractice law firm. We represent people in times of great crisis in their life who have been seriously injured due to no fault of their own or those experiencing the untimely death of a loved one due to someone else’s negligence. Established in 1914, we are Maine’s largest plaintiff’s law firm with 15 lawyers and offices in Lewiston, Bangor, and Portland.

We believe people deserve access to justice and the highest quality representation, no matter their wealth, background, or circumstances. A secret to our success is getting to know our clients on a deeply personal level and always putting their needs first. We value a collaborative team approach and constantly seek innovative and creative solutions to tell our clients’ stories. With unmatched resources and experience, we prepare every case as if it were going to trial and have built a legacy obtaining extraordinary results to help our clients recover and move forward.

We take on insurance companies, medical establishments, and large corporations with an unwavering commitment to justice, not only for our clients and their families, but for all Mainers and the community at large. As leaders in civil advocacy, we fight to protect the rights of injured victims in our legislative bodies as well, helping to pass many important laws, that, in turn, have helped ensure access to justice for all Mainers.
