The staff was always friendly and Attorney Friedman always answered my questions honestly (a rare trait for a lawyer these days!). He has a very pleasant demeanor but was exactly the pitbull that I needed in court. He knows what he is doing and is fearless in fighting for his clients. Thank you is an understatement.

I got custody of my daughter back after a Judge in Pennsylvania gave custody of my daughter to her father, whose step-son was a child molester. My ex moved out of Pennsylvania, to Massachusetts, then to New Hampshire and then to Maine. I had to file for custody in every state, once he established residency in that state after 6 months. The custody battle lasted for five years while my ex was moving around to avoid it. It was in Maine that Mr. McCullough fought so hard for me to get my daughter back, knowing that I was the only person trying to protect my daughter from her step-brother and step-mother. He brought in a Guardian ad litem to independently represent my daughter, who did background checks and discovered very disturbing things. I am very grateful to him.

She also never showed up to the mediation date and claimed she put it in her calendar wrong - which she told me she "has never done before," which is a lie. There are other allegations against her for the same thing at this time. Which is the reasoning for her current suspension. I lost an entire day of pay because of this and when I had called her 10x, emailed, and then showed up to the office - she was all calm and collective as there was no issue. She is a fraud! I hired her in February 2019, and my first mediation date was scheduled for early May 2019. In early July she was suspended from practicing. Which caused me to have Aaron Greenlee call to ask me if I would like him to represent me. Aaron "reassured me" he wouldn't also be a moron and would be responsive to my concerns, calls, etc. He told me he would send over a new contract within 24 hrs. of the phone call - days went back and I said f'it. On the first of July I told Aaron that I want Danielle to withdraw from my case as I did not sign a contract with Aaron. I asked him to review my invoice and refund me as I literally WASTED hundreds of dollars at this firm without any presence of Danielle going to court for me. He refused to refund me the time Danielle spent reviewing my case that she NEVER represented me for. She spent almost $600 of money to only submit an appearance on my behalf and look as my case. Which was a total waste of time and money. I had sent 4 emails to Aaron to respond to me about withdrawing his appearance AND returning my money. Didn't get all of it back, only what was not "used" I am going to be reporting them to the Bar and hope that nobody ever has this issue with them EVER AGAIN.

I chose Wescott law to help with drafting a prenuptual agreement.

In the several emails following it was obvious to me that the attorney had taken no notes as she had no recollection of any marriage proposal. In addition, she took objection to the fact that I had changed one request with regards to giving my future bride better alimony in the event of a future divorce and she felt I should find another attorney. I did, and the attorney I found was incredible, extremely helpful and the agreement was completed in a timely fashion. I would not recommend Wescott Law !

I called…read moremany law offices and all others except for Ainsworth & Thelin were going to charge me big bucks to have them write the document from scratch. I met with John Turcotte, Esq from this practice who was very down to earth and reviewed my letter with me in the room, giving me his feedback and suggestions. It was exactly what I had wanted, and it fit my budget. I would definitely use him again.

My wife first heard about attorney John Turcotte of Ainsworth, Thelin & Raftice from a high school…read moreclassmate and then read about him in a Bangor Daily News article concerning the sale of a foreclosed home in Millinocket, Maine. The second sentence of the article shocked us. It fully bowled us over. There paraphrased in the second sentence of the article was the Town of Millinocket's attorney - the very same lawyer, who was currently representing my wife in her struggle to bring about a settlement of her mother's estate in Millinocket! The shock was that my wife had just received a notice for the first time from the town of Millinocket of a lien they filed against her mother's estate for unpaid property taxes and unpaid water bills when all along the town had our mailing address on file and had never sent us any notice to our home address. Yet they chose not to send the tax and water bills to any of the estate representatives of record! The town's notice had blindsided us, and my wife's lawyer - the town's lawyer - had remained deathly silent of the estate's liability to the Town of Millinocket until shortly before the date the town threatened to take possession of the property. This review is not to wince in pain about that previous lawyer's conflict of interest. Rather, this background is a necessary description of the disadvantage attorney John Turcotte found himself in when my wife fired her lawyer - the town's lawyer - and engaged Ainsworth, Thelin & Raftice. The short of it is, where the previous lawyer had failed through his inaction and complacency (at the very least), attorney Turcotte truly succeeded in rescuing my wife's mother's estate from the clutches of town bureaucracy and her sibling's greed through his superior legal ability. I will add attorney Turcotte maintained a professional but sympathetic demeanor with us all the while each time we expressed frustration and outrage (often venting through use of strong and unbecoming language). He kept us on track consistently to settle the estate without any residual legal encumbrance and, as much as humanly possible, to settle the affair in my wife's favor. * Attorney Turcotte provided a strategy for resolution of the estate immediately (within two days) of receipt of confirmation of termination of the previous lawyer's representation and engagement of Ainsworth, Thelin & Raftice * Within a month and a half of engagement, attorney Turcotte facilitated removal of detrimental adversary parties from estate representation - something the prior lawyer failed to accomplish in the period of four and half years! * Within a month and a half of engagement, attorney Turcotte obtained receipt by the estate of funds to close out one of my wife's mother's checking accounts - again, something the previous attorney failed to accomplish in four and half years! * One of my wife's siblings removed the entire contents of their mother's house without authorization. Attorney Turcotte advised against naming that sibling as a thief without concrete proof during the course of the official settlement of the estate, as it would be disadvantageous to my wife's legal position. It sounds like common sense, but when we were blinded by rage and frustration, attorney Turcotte first expressed his personal sympathy for our emotions but remained professional and reminded us of the importance of the ultimate goal, successful resolution of the estate without libel or slander. * The firm was always punctual in their communication with us. There was never any period of "radio silence." * Most importantly, attorney Turcotte recouped nearly all of our financial expenditures. Our total financial expenditures exceeded by far those of the competing siblings put together. These are some of the many very specific and concrete examples of why we feel so lucky and grateful to have engaged attorney John Turcotte and the firm of Ainsworth, Thelin & Raftice! We highly recommend him and his firm unreservedly! If you still have questions, we suggest emphatically that you contact attorney Turcotte directly to put your hesitations at ease and begin the journey to resolution of YOUR legal challenges at the earliest opportunity. I would wish you good luck, but with attorney John Turcotte, you don't need much luck. You can rely on superior legal competence.
