I’m Sam Sherry, an attorney based in Portland, Maine.
My work is all about commercial law: Helping Maine businesses, creditors, and landlords. My clients include national firms, Maine banks, and hundreds of small businesses. I am honored to serve each one. I would be honored to work with you if you need the kind of help I offer.
I have been an attorney since 1992, licensed to practice in Maine, New Hampshire, and Connecticut. Most of my work is in Maine.
I’ve worked at large and small law firms and started my own practice in 1998. I have represented my clients in most of the courts in the State of Maine, from the Supreme Judicial Court to some distant corners. It’s all about what the client needs, always.
