Services
Epstein & O'Donovan, LLP was founded in 1992 as Maine's first boutique trusts and estates law firm. The founders believed, and we continue to believe, that clients are best served by a small firm focused exclusively on estate planning, probate and trust administration. Many clients who use larger firms for business, real estate and family law matters often engage our firm for estate planning services for privacy purposes.
The size of our firm permits us to know each other well, to draw on our various strengths and to have some familiarity with one another's clients. We enjoy working with individuals on those family and financial affairs that are of the greatest importance to them.
Blessed with many long-term relationships with our clients and their families, we believe that an attorney's counseling function is most effective as part of a continuing relationship rather than on a transactional or isolated basis.

We delayed the process of filing our will for months after having our first child. When we finally agreed to make these tough decisions, Miles Hunt was warm and welcoming. He guided us through the process with ease and made us very comfortable with all the sensitive material. He stressed the importance of having these details organized and the headache we would now avoid in the event this paperwork was every used. The process was informative and painless. We would highly recommend this firm and this prestigious lawyer to any friends wanting to have a will completed.

Our husband and I had our wills updated by Miles Hunt. He did a wonderful job, and was very responsive to all our questions and concerns. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable when it was time to sign (during the pandemic). I am confident our affairs were taken care of with great care and I would highly recommend Epstein + O'Donovan.

This is a truly excellent law firm! The attorneys' knowledge of trusts and estates law is some of the best in the state. They are a pleasure to work with, and very responsive. Their prices are hard to beat, especially for the high quality of their work. I would definitely recommend working with anyone at this firm, and have recommended them to my close relatives, who were very pleased as well.

After putting it off for too long my wife and I had our estate planning handled by Miles Hunt at Epstein and O'Donovan and the experience was smooth, informative and professional. It made what could be a complex, difficult process straightforward. I'd highly recommend Miles and the firm.
