Hale & Hamlin is located in the Peters Block reputed to be the oldest building in downtown Ellsworth, probably not far from where Eugene Hale read law under Thomas Robinson. Despite the antiquity of its heritage, the office environment of Hale & Hamlin is probably as modern as any law firm in the State of Maine. Its lawyers and staff use the latest in networked computers, telecommunications and electronic research. Although the firm is small and the lawyers are determined to keep it that way, Hale & Hamlin offers full client service in such varied areas as real estate, probate and estate planning, civil litigation, municipal law, environmental law, corporations and business law, and domestic relations. Martindale-Hubbell, publisher of the most widely read legal directory, has given the firm its highest rating for both legal ability and financial integrity. It serves clients located throughout much of Maine, and other parts of the country.
