Ainsworth, Thelin & Raftice, P.A. 7 Ocean Street, South Portland, ME 04106

"I highly recommend working with Ainsworth Thelin and Raftice. Jerome Gamache, John Turcotte, their paralegals and the rest of the staff were stellar. Jerome and John helped me navigate as a buyer through a very tricky commercial real estate sale that involved litigation, mediation and finally resulted in a successful close on the property. John represented me in litigation and guided us through a lawsuit for specific performance that ended in successful transfer of the real estate from the sellers to me. Jerome advised before litigation and took over seamlessly once a settlement was reached, helping guide the transaction to a successful close for all parties, hanging with me and the deal through numerous annoying twists and turns. I hope to work with Jerome again on many more simpler and successful commercial real estate transactions. And if it ever gets dicey again, I will know who to call to guide me out of a another mess."

"For the past year, I've been embroiled in a legal battle due to a fraudulent real estate transaction in 2021 in South Portland. With hopes of a fair and just resolution, I turned to Ainsworth, Thelin & Raftice, P.A., reassured by their explicit commitment in our contract that: “the firm will not settle nor compromise this matter without your consent.” Initially, the firm's communication felt commendable, and I believed my case was in capable hands. However, as time progressed, their attentiveness dwindled. Subpoenas were mishandled, information was skewed, emails and calls were left unanswered, and my repeated inquiries felt disregarded, unattended, and at times, clearly overshadowed by more pressing issues. The defining disappointment, for me, in the end, was the unauthorized settlement of my case, which starkly contradicted our explicit agreement. This action not only disregarded the clear terms outlined in our Engagement Letter but also completely eroded the trust I had placed in the firm. My journey, which began with a promise of advocacy and support, culminated in a profound breach of trust. I share my story not out of spite, but as a word of caution for those seeking legal counsel. It’s a reminder to approach your choice with diligence and a critical eye. Your legal journey should be a partnership built on unwavering trust and integrity, and I hope my experience helps others in making an informed decision."

"Jerome and his staff are absolute pro's at what they do. My wife, father in law, and I recently closed on a hospitality business and the entire acquisition process felt smooth and seamless all thanks to Jerome, Jake, and Dawn. They are all-stars. We could not recommend them more."

"I have used ATR,PA for property sales contracts, contentious family matters, and employment contract reviews. The team is friendly, approachable, and effective. I look forward to working with them on my will/trust. John, Ellie, and the PL team are wonderful to work with."

"I have recently had the pleasure of working with Ms Dominquez and her team on a couple of real estate projects. They have been extremely professional, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, quick, and very responsive, especially with last minute questions and issues that always seem to arise. Sometimes going through real estate sales and purchases can be quite stressful as you never know what is going to turn up. But Eleanor's solid previous knowledge and calm demeanor gave me tremendous confidence and peace of mind. I consider them my attorneys, in advance, for any upcoming matters. I feel grateful for their support and know that I made the right choice."
