Clifford & Clifford Law Office - Portland, ME

Welcome to Clifford & Clifford Law Office in Portland, Maine

Located in the historic Old Port district of Portland, Clifford & Clifford Law Office carries forward a century-long legacy of legal excellence.

We pride ourselves on being responsive, pragmatic, and deeply committed to our clients' welfare. 🏛️ When you hire us, you are not just getting a lawyer; you are gaining a compassionate advocate who will tell your story to a jury with skill and conviction.

Employment Law and Employee Rights

Our Philosophy: Solving Problems One Client at a Time

At Clifford & Clifford, we believe in a personal approach. We are not a high-volume 'mill'; we are a firm that takes the time to know you and your family. This deep understanding allows us to effectively communicate the impact of your injury or legal issue to a jury or insurance adjuster. We offer a free initial consultation to assess your case. For personal injury and many employment cases, we operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney's fees unless we recover money for you. This ensures that high-quality legal representation is accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. 🤝

Litigation and Commercial Law

Beyond injury and employment matters, we also possess significant experience in commercial litigation and business disputes. We understand the stakes involved in business conflicts and work efficiently to resolve them, allowing you to get back to business. Our attorneys are also experienced in alternative dispute resolution, including mediation, to find equitable solutions outside of court when possible. 📉
