About Attorney Daniel Stevens

Dan is a native of Aroostook County. He received a BA from the University of Southern Maine and his law degree from the University of Maine School of Law where he served as Executive Editor of the Maine Law Review. Following law school, Dan joined Maine’s largest law firm where he honed his skills as an attorney and where he was elected Partner, and ultimately Partner-in-Charge of the Firm’s Augusta, Maine attorneys.

As Dan’s fellow Augusta-based partners announced their plans to retire, he decided the time was right to strike out on his own. Dan founded The Law Offices of Daniel J. Stevens, LLC with the mission of providing top-shelf legal services but with rates that take advantage of the lower overhead costs that derive from a boutique sized firm.

Community Involvement

Giving back and serving all Mainers, regardless of their backgrounds or economic status, has been an important part of Dan’s legal career. Dan was a founding member of a group of attorneys who volunteered to provide free legal services to members of our military following the events of 9/11. He also received an award from the Volunteer Lawyer’s Project for his pro bono service and served as Chair of the State of Maine Fee Arbitration Commission.
