The lead attorney in the firm claims to have knowledge in areas of the law that she most definitely…read moredoes not, but she won't even admit it to herself. She worries more about judges liking her than she does about her clients. The associate attorney is in her office in the back of the building most of the time, so we are not familiar with her. Staff is great, but the managing/supervising attorney turns a blind eye to the lead attorney's mistakes, to the client's extreme detriment. RUN - Don't walk - AWAY from this firm - they may come across as nice, knowledgeable, and focused, but they are not, and when the metal hits the road, they leave you hanging. Especially the lead attorney - you cannot trust her to have your back - she is more focused on CYA than she is on advocating for her clients.

I got charged with an OUI and Disorderly Disorderly in February last year. I had used Shelly prior…read moreto this for a family legal matter, which too faired in my favor quickly and seamlessly. I went straight t to Shelly with this matter and the way I refer to her in the terms of this situations is worded "She IS, the OUI attorney!" Maine has tough laws and I refused to blow which is not a good idea, trust me. She did the best I could have asked for and even more. She consulted me anytime and comforted me in the whole situation. I was honest with her from the get go and I felt more then good about it My disorderly was taken care of while I didn't' even know it was, and before I knew it I was getting great news that it was dropped, leaving me with enough reassurance to make it through the rest of the debacle . I have a waiting game for a b bit of my case and she is continues to reassure and be there for me as though I am a priority She also happily worked around my driving situation which was not easy for me, especially in earlier times of the incident. . I highly recommend her and though I know this is all situational I would undoubtedly go to her in the future for any concerns I have. I also have reached out to Shelly for advice and referrals which I trust and receive willingly.

I had a very poor experience with this firm and strongly encourage others to seek out other firms…read more I felt that there was a strong bias against men and men's rights in family matters. This seemed to be a culture engrained in the attorneys and staff at the firm. It felt to me like we were immersed in the 1980's in terms of their views on divorce, custody, and parental rights. Legal matters are stressful and difficult enough to deal with. You shouldn't have to feel like you are enduring additional persecution and biases from your own representation. The other major issue I had with the firm was their billing. It really felt as though they had no interest in solving my case quickly and sought to draw things out as much as possible. In fact, the judge in my case cited in his ruling that the attorney's fees for the other side were excessive (my fees from Andrucki and King were even more than hers but my fees weren't put in front of the judge for his comment- so, draw your own conclusions). The discovery process was a disaster with having to provide the same documents repeatedly and be billed for their review. I was actually called by Ms. Andrucki and asked to email a document that I had already provided and was in my file. When questioned about this and her billing me to call to request this, she told me it "was actually cheaper for me to have her call me and ask me to resend it then to pay her for her time to search through my file to find it." Again, I would seek representation elsewhere.

He breached attorney client privilege to benefit himself,…read moreinvoices are NEVER accurate, very unorganized, he nor his staff respond to e-mails, or voicemails timely ( sometimes 3 months later), misplacing files, other clients files in FULL VIEW during appointments, lack of professionalism all around, double talker, best interest of client is NOT on his agenda, failure to perform conflict of interest checks, roaming eyes, foul language. He will drain you for all the money you have and DON'T have!! This is NOT an exaggeration. After 3 years and over $30k, and due to his failure to perform a conflict check on Attorney Jon Plourde, whom he hired after his license was reinstated from a 2 year suspension (Mr. Plourde had represented my ex in another firm) Mr. Shankman had to withdraw from my case within 48 hours of our court hearing. A blessing in disguise, as I found an excellent Attorney that DID put my best interest first. Please take the time to research his reputation, via Board of Overseers of the Bar, reprimands of the past and currently pending. Do not be fooled!
