Experienced Representation in Multiple Areas of the Law

Our practice includes a variety of legal matters involving:

Estate Planning: After a lifetime of saving and investing, you want to be sure that your health and your assets are protected. You want your assets to go to the loved ones, friends or charities of your choosing. You want the expenses of probate, and any federal estate taxes, to be kept to the minimum. With proper estate planning, you can accomplish these goals. We help our clients devise estate plans that are precisely responsive to their needs.

Criminal Defense: Attorney James P. Montagne has thirty years of experience as a trial lawyer. He knows the inner workings of the criminal justice system, traffic courts, drunk driving criminal prosecution, and the administrative civil proceedings that will determine the disposition of your driver's license

Your driving privileges are important. If you have been arrested for reckless driving, or for a drunk driving violation - OWI, OVI, OUIL, OWPD, UBAL, MIP, DUI, or DWI - or for refusing a breathalyzer test - your driving privileges are at serious risk. You also risk fines and jail time, as well as increased insurance costs. Who should you go to for help with your traffic violations, drunk driving or reckless driving charge?

We represent clients in criminal cases involving:

Personal Injury: When you have suffered a personal injury through the negligence of another - whether in a car crash caused by another driver, improper treatment by a doctor, or an injury caused by unsafe conditions due to a negligent store owner - you want to hire a skilled and experienced attorney. Recent legislation has narrowed your right to recover damages. Let an experienced trial attorney represent you. One area of personal injury law in which we handle many cases is animal attacks, where a dog owner or other animal owner was negligent, resulting an attack and serious injury.
