Meet Seth
Seth began practicing law in 2003 and since that time has become an experienced trial attorney who is a strong advocate for his clients. He has not followed the traditional path of a lawyer but has looked beyond the courtroom to find ways in the legal system to improve the lives of his clients and also the larger community. In addition to sitting on the Co-Occurring Disorders and Veterans Court he has been a vocal proponent of restorative justice, not just for juveniles, but for adults as well.
His practice includes criminal defense (for adults and juveniles) and veterans’ defense. He has been the Defense Counsel for the only Co-Occurring Disorders and Veterans court in Maine since its inception in 2011.
Seth graduated from the Golden Gate University School of Law in San Francisco and did his undergraduate degree at the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service.
Seth also is a Certified Mediator who specializes in mediating divorces and other disputes. He received his training at MWI in Boston.
