Real estate law touches the life of almost every Maine family. The purchase
or sale of a home or business is for many of us one of the single most important events, which brings us to an attorney's office. We need and trust our attorneys to provide the right guidance and assistance in this important area of our lives.
Our Real Estate Department
Our real estate department consists of attorney Michael J. Levey (member of the Maine State Bar Association Title Standards Committee) and paralegal Michael Susan Brown (with us since 2001).
