Attorneys-RAY BRADFORD JR.

Estate Planning, Wills, Elder Law and Trusts, Probate

There are a lot of good estate planning and probate attorneys in Maine, and their tools are the same. I believe that my first focus is on needs - the needs of people - not just on managing assets. I especially enjoy the challenge of working with people to develop practical, workable solutions for their legal problems. My approach is to listen to people’s concerns, working with their other advisors when appropriate, and then developing flexible options to satisfy those concerns.

M. Ray Bradford, Jr. serves as special counsel to Lanham & Blackwell, P.A. He provides services to our clients in the areas of wills, trusts, probate, elder law and estate planning.

He is admitted to practice before the Maine Supreme Judicial Court and the United States District Court for the District of Maine.

Mr. Bradford began his practice with a Bangor law firm in 1971 and established his own general practice in Bangor in 1978.
