We have formed Clifford & Clifford LLC with offices in Kennebunk and Portland. A predecessor firm, also known as Clifford and Clifford, was founded in 1915 in Lewiston by our grandfather and his brother. It existed for nearly a century, until 2000, and included a number of judges and public service oriented attorneys. We hope to continue this tradition going forward and look forward to working with many of you!

With over 36 years of combined legal experience, our firm is responsive, pragmatic, and whenever possible, informal. We rely on two highly experienced and dedicated legal assistants, with a combined 60 years of paralegal experience. We achieve our goals, including consistently high verdicts and settlements, because everyone at our firm is committed to providing the best legal representation possible.
