“I’ve had the privilege of working closely with Alicia, and she is truly exceptional. Her legal research, analysis, and writing skills are among the best I’ve encountered. She approaches every assignment with a strategic mindset and consistently produces work that is focused and highly persuasive.

What makes her stand out even more is the way she integrates herself into a case. She masters the facts, anticipates issues, and offers thoughtful guidance. She’s well organized, proactive about deadlines, and communicates clearly to ensure everything stays on schedule.

On top of all of that, she is a pleasure to work with. Dependable, collaborative, and genuinely committed to excellence. Any team would be lucky to work with her and I can’t recommend her enough.”

“Alicia partnered with our firm last year to write a brief in a complex foreclosure case. She ended up developing a number of excellent substantive arguments and raising a number of novel procedural defenses. Based on her knowledge of the subject matter, her appellate skills and hard work, the client and the litigation team decided to ask her to argue the case before the Maine Supreme Judicial Court.

At the argument, the Bank argued that it had proven title to the mortgage, but, in the fullness of time, the Court disagreed, and remanded for further proceedings. It is unclear whether the bank will try again to prove title to the mortgage. It has tried and failed more than three times. Based on Alicia’s arguments, there does not appear to be a viable path forward for the bank. In addition to being a great appellate lawyer, Alicia is smart, funny and humble. I’m looking forward to working with her again!”

“Alicia brings insight, brilliant analysis and true passion for the law to her legal research and writing. I recently had the opportunity to collaborate with Alicia on an appellate brief and her contributions were invaluable. There is no question that her participation made the brief stronger and more persuasive. The depth of her knowledge and preparation were evident at oral argument, where she readily addressed every challenge the justices threw at her. Her mastery of the law and ability to think on her feet is inspiring.”
