What our Clients Have to Say

  • "Shawn Bell has been my attorney for years. He is the hardest working attorney / person I know. That is, if you are lucky enough to have him to represent you. Be prepared to get calls after hours. The strongest quality I appreciate the most about Shawn is that no matter how busy he is, I always feel like he’s communicating as though I am his only client. Having Shawn’s undivided attention is a rare quality as an attorney. I have no doubt that his integrity is steadfast on a daily basis. Let’s just say that it would be difficult to find an attorney with the qualities he demonstrates."

    Daniel W. Boutin

  • "When discussing business issues I have never found anyone who truly cared if I succeeded or not. I felt like larger businesses took precedence over mine. Michael Malloy has gone out of his way to protect me and help me build a team dedicated to my best interests! He has put me first."

    Dr. Tina Kell, Owner, L/A Endodontics

  • “When I set out to find an attorney for my practice acquisition, I had read books and 'done my research' so to speak, but I did not anticipate just how vital an attorney would be throughout the process. Time and time again, Attorney Malloy supported me, offering resources, sharing wisdom, connecting me to financial advisors and bankers, responding to late night emails, meeting after work hours, and ultimately, working what seemed to be 24-hour days as we approached the close date all while cheering me along. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael Malloy to anybody looking for a lawyer with a background in dental transactions/health care. He and his team were simply superb.”

    Dr. Edward Gold

  • “Michael represented our business in a regional asset sale. Michael kept the transaction moving, directed us to areas of potential risk, and ensured our interests were well represented. Also, he was a pleasure to work with and fair in his dealings. I highly recommend Michael for business transactions.”

    Tasha Gardner, CFO, Sargent Corp.

  • “My incorporation process with Michael was seamless, and his communication about each step was great. He truly understands the concerns of small business owners in Maine.”
