Family Law

Adoption
Child Abuse
Garmey Law attorneys Alexis Chardon and Terry Garmey represented Alexandria Orduna of Brewer. Her son suffered brain injuries in January 2019 due to abuse inflicted by Cyree Hansley, 27, of North Carolina. Though Hansley was living with Orduna at the time of the injury, he is not the boy's father. Orduna had repeatedly reported her sonâ€™s injuries to his pediatric healthcare team in an effort to discover what caused them, and providers allegedly failed to recognize and report the signs of child abuse to both Orduna and authorities.

Criminal Law

Criminal Defense
After law school, Kristine quickly realized that while she loved trial work, she preferred working with individuals instead of as a prosecutor. She started a very successful criminal defense firm that represented thousands of Mainers over a 13-year time period in both State and Federal Court. She spent a decade as the defense attorney liaison to Cumberland Countyâ€™s Adult Treatment Court, representing individuals in their efforts to exit the criminal justice system by focusing on their recovery.
Wrongful Death

If you have lost someone because of someone elseâ€™s negligence, our Maine wrongful death lawyers will work tirelessly to get your family compensation so that you can get the closure and justice you deserve.
Sex Crimes
Attorney Christian Foster represented the parents of a young man who was sexually assaulted at summer camp in a lawsuit alleging that the camp negligently allowed the assault to happen - and then downplayed the assault and helped the perpetrators to escape law enforcement scrutiny. According to Attorney Foster, the monetary damages sought in the sexual assault lawsuit were secondary to the client's goal of forcing change that would put â€œpolicies and procedures in place to train the staff and enforceâ€ safety regulations, protecting other campers from what happened to their son.

Drug Crimes
An inmate at the Cumberland County Jail was found unresponsive in his cell, and now a Windham man is being charged with providing the drugs that ended his life. James Ryan Mannion had been jailed since December 2021 on drug charges. Before his arrest, Mannion struggled with substance use but ultimately found success in sobriety and was working as a barber. Peter Curtis, who was incarcerated alongside Mannion at the time, has been accused of inmate death for providing him the fentanyl powder that caused his death.
Assault
Homicide
As a criminal defense attorney, she was no stranger to trial work. She had successes in suppression hearings, secured acquittals in bench and jury trials, and argued to Maineâ€™s Supreme Judicial Court and the First Circuit Court of Appeals. Most notably, in 2022, after six years of litigation, including two suppression hearings, dozens of motion hearings, a jury trial, and an appeal to the Law Court, she secured the only complete dismissal of a homicide case in Maine in at least 20 years.

Medical Malpractice
A grieving mother asked whether her recently deceased daughter had a medical malpractice case.

She passed away on her 16th day in the hospital.

Trusts and Estates

Trusts
Medical malpractice matter involving the birth of a baby in a Maine hospital. The baby suffered a diffuse hypoxic ischemic insult prior to his birth. His parents alleged that this was because his health care providers failed to recognize that he received too little oxygen during his birthing process. As a result of his hypoxic brain injury, he has been left with significant mental and physical impairments including cerebral palsy and the inability to speak, sit, crawl or eat, requiring costly medical treatment, supportive services and therapies for the remainder of his life. This matter was settled at mediation As a result of the multi-million dollar settlement, a Special Needs Trust was created to ensure that Nathanâ€™s baby will receive the care he needs for the rest of his life.
