Tom was professional, easy to work with, and an overall great attorney. My case was resolved with the best possible outcome and I cannot recommend Mr. Richards more! He communicated everything to me using language that was understandable and made me feel very comfortable. Thank you Tom!

Wasn’t in the best of spaces and Tom took care of everything so I didn’t have to worry. I had enough going on and he understood what happened and made it a point to have things resolved for me as quickly as possible.

I contacted Maine Criminal Defense at the end of April to represent me. From then until the resolution of my case, all personnel in the firm, and especially my assigned lawyer Tom Richards, were responsive to my questions and concerns, getting back to me quickly and with clear answers and relevant advice. I believe my case would not have been resolved as favorably if I had not retained their services.

These guys really saved me from getting a really bad charge. They were so kind, understanding, patient, and non judgmental. I am so appreciative of them all!

Tom Richard was my public defender. I never had to go to court before and have never been accused of anything so this all was new territory for me. At first I had a different lawyer that made it very clear that I was just another nameless client in his busy day. I had to switch lawyer and my case was handed to Mr Richard. Right from the beginning he took his time, asked what happened and who I am. My case took place in Maine while I actually live 3000 miles away in a different state. Tom maintained contact, informed me about every step along the way and represented me and my desired outcome precisely how we disused. Throughout the entire process Tom advised me with honesty and expertise that ended up leading to the desired outcome of the case. Thank you many times, Thomas Richard, for the humane treatment and superb knowledge of your trade.
