The story of Berman & Simmons began in 1914 when Benjamin Berman hung a shingle on Lisbon Street in Lewiston, Maine. Berman and his brother David became known as trusted advocates for the men and women who worked at the city’s many textile mills and shoe factories. Their commitment to working Mainers and their willingness to take on the most complex and controversial cases remain hallmarks of the firm today.
Over time, Berman & Simmons has evolved from a general practice firm to a more specialized plaintiff’s trial law firm with a focus on personal injury lawsuits involving medical errors, motor vehicle accidents, wrongful death, dangerous or unsafe property, defective products, and sex abuse. As powerful advocates for civil justice, we are dedicated to fighting tirelessly on behalf of those who have been injured through no fault of their own, and winning high-stakes, complex cases where our team’s expertise and unmatched skills make all the difference.
