Our daughter was struck and killed by a drunk driver while she was working at a camp in Maine…read more Because our family is not from Maine, we asked two attorneys with whom we have worked and whose opinions we value and trust to vet an on-the-scene personal injury attorney in Maine. As it turns out, their recommendation of Steve was well placed and his care and handling of our case was not only thorough, with extreme attention to detail, but he often metaphorically held our hands as he guided us through our extremely difficult, painful and emotional case. We are confident that every penny that could be recovered in wrongful death allowances was recovered from several parties. The recovered monies were put into an estate fund and eventually disbursed to two scholarships and several other causes that our daughter would want to support. He was compassionate, well-informed and persistent in pursuing the case to its successful conclusion. There was one tack we were interested in taking that Steve gently but firmly told us would be useless and costly ~ and he was absolutely right. Steve is an amazing personal injury attorney but working with him goes far beyond his extensive legal knowledge and skill. He advised us on how to prepare for the driver's plea and sentencing and helped us craft our victim impact statements. We flew back to Maine for the sentencing and he was with us every step of the way. His guidance, care and expertise made a sad and difficult day bearable. In short ~ Steve is highly professional, knows Maine law inside out, and will pursue every avenue that is worth pursuing, while at the same time he will be forthright and honest about when it is best to step back and spare more legal expense, time and anguish.

My world was shattered when my husband was killed in a workplace accident last year. It seemed…read morelike all our carefully made plans for our future were unraveled in an instant and I didn't know how I would survive without my partner, my friend, and my hero. Friends of my husband's family in Wisconsin knew someone in Maine who recommended Taylor. From my first contacts with Des and Taylor, I never doubted that I was in the hands of people who truly cared about me and would know how to handle my situation and get a fair resolution for my incalculable loss. Then a lifelong friend of mine from Ohio- also an attorney- contacted me and told me that he was talking to a Portland attorney he often worked with to get a recommendation of the "absolute top professional" to deal with a case as complex as mine. A "seasoned thoroughbred" to quote him. I was delighted, but not surprised when the word almost immediately came back to "go with Gideon Asen. They're top notch." In the year that followed, I never doubted that assessment of the firm. I received the most capable, dedicated and personal service. Every detail of the investigation and preparation of the case was done methodically, thoughtfully and thoroughly. Every question and concern I had was answered immediately, regardless of when I reached out. I believe every member of the staff helped with my case at some point and always made me feel like they had ample time and concern for me. Taylor used his connections to other professionals with differing expertise to complement his own impressive knowledge and skills and crafted a case that I had faith was solid and inarguable and would lead to a fair and just outcome. His mix of humility and confidence was calming and reassuring. I knew that I had a champion on my side. Our case did come to a fair and positive conclusion which has provided me with a sense of justice and accountability. There is a great deal of healing in having our story heard and taken seriously, and peace of mind in knowing that my sons and I will be able to continue living as we had, even if it is without my husband.
