About the firm
A small firm, on purpose.
Margaret Ellis opened Harbor & Pine in a converted sail loft in 1998 with one idea: people deserve a lawyer who returns calls, speaks plainly and tells them the price. Three partners and eleven staff later, that is still the plan.
What we believe
Three promises we keep.
Plain language
If we cannot explain it simply, we have not understood it well enough yet.
Fair, fixed fees
Most matters are priced up front. You will always know what comes next and what it costs.
Rooted here
We live in the towns we serve, and we plan to be here when your kids need us too.
The partners
The people you will actually work with.
Every matter is led by a partner. No junior handoffs, no phone trees.

Come say hello on Wharf Street.
The coffee is good and the first conversation is always free.
