About Steve Smith Trial Lawyers

Founded in 2020, Steve Smith Trial Lawyers has become one of Maine’s fastest-growing litigation firms—expanding rapidly from Augusta and now into Portland. Our team has decades of combined experience in family law, civil litigation, criminal defense, probate, and more. We’ve built a reputation on aggressive advocacy, client-focused results, and a collaborative team culture that helps attorneys do their best work.

We pride ourselves on being a firm where attorneys are supported—with a dedicated team of paralegals, intake specialists, and staff who handle the details so you can focus on strategy and advocacy. This structure has been a game-changer for many who joined us after working in firms where they felt unsupported and overwhelmed.

We’re building something different—and we’re looking for strong attorneys to grow with us.

Why Join Us?

  • You’ll be supported. You’ll have the resources and staff to stay focused on your cases.
  • You’ll have a voice. We encourage input at all levels and value attorneys who think critically and care deeply.
  • You’ll grow with us. We’re expanding into new markets and building something special—there’s room for you here.
  • You’ll find your team. Our work culture is collaborative, energetic, and driven by shared success.
  • Who We’re Looking For

    We’re seeking experienced litigation attorneys with backgrounds in family law, civil litigation, or criminal defense. You should be confident in the courtroom, strategic in your approach, and motivated to manage your own caseload with autonomy. You’ll have the chance to help shape our firm’s future while advancing your own career.

    Whether you're looking to step into a larger role, regain work-life balance, or join a team that truly collaborates—you’ll find a place here.

    Key Responsibilities

  • Manage a diverse caseload in your primary area(s) of practice
  • Represent clients in court proceedings, including trials, hearings, and mediations
  • Strategize, negotiate, and advocate to achieve the best outcomes for your clients
  • Draft pleadings, motions, discovery, and settlements
  • Maintain clear, proactive communication with clients
  • Collaborate with fellow attorneys, intake, and paralegal staff to drive efficiency and results
  • Optionally mentor junior attorneys and contribute to firm-wide improvement initiatives
  • Participate in business development or community engagement if desired
  • Qualifications

  • Licensed to practice in Maine (or sitting for the next bar exam)
  • 3 years of litigation experience strongly preferred (open to candidates with more or less depending on fit)
  • Strong courtroom presence, legal writing, and client communication skills
  • Ability to work independently while thriving in a collaborative team setting
  • Familiarity with civil procedure, criminal rules, and / or family law standards in Maine
  • Apply Today

    If you're ready to join a firm that values your experience, supports your growth, and gives you the infrastructure to succeed—we’d love to hear from you.
