MAINE LAWYERS BY COUNTY
S O U R C E : Maine State Bar Association
It's getting harder to find a lawyer in the rural parts
of Maine. The lion's share of the Pine Tree State's
lawyers are in Cumberland County, which includes
Portland. There are six counties where the number
of attorneys is fewer than two dozen. The most
pronounced shortage might be in Piscataquis County,
which has six lawyers, according to the most recent
annual report from the Maine State Bar Association.
That's one lawyer per 2,900 residents (compared to
one per 269 residents in Cumberland County).
To me a lawyer is basically the person that knows
the rules of the country. We're all throwing the
dice, playing the game, moving our pieces around
the board, but if there's a problem, the lawyer is
the only person that has actually read the inside
of the top of the box.
