Skelton, Taintor & Abbott attorneys believe that the protection of individual rights is an essential principle of a free society. A person charged with a criminal offense in Maine is innocent unless proven otherwise and has a right to a fair trial and to effective legal counsel.
Skelton, Taintor & Abbott’s criminal defense attorneys handle cases ranging from routine motor vehicle offenses to more serious charges, including:
- Burglary
- Robbery
- Assault
- Murder
- Drug possession
- Weapons offenses
- White collar crimes
We have all read or heard about cases of innocent people spending years in prison because they lacked aggressive and effective representation. We believe everyone charged with a criminal offense deserves an effective lawyer and the protections granted under the Constitution, including bail, freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, trial rights, plea negotiation, and fair sentencing if convicted of a crime.
Skelton, Taintor & Abbott’s criminal defense lawyers are experienced at representing individuals facing criminal charges in state court and in federal court.
Based in central Maine, Skelton, Taintor & Abbott lawyers have advocated on behalf of clients since 1853 and have built a reputation as one of Maine’s most respected and effective law firms. We serve clients in Portland, South Portland, Bridgton, South Paris, Biddeford, Lewiston, Auburn, Rockland, Augusta, Waterville and Bangor, as well as other areas in Androscoggin, Cumberland and York counties and throughout Maine.
