​
To My Clients: After 42 years as an attorney, I have decided to wind down and withdraw from the private practice of law. As of September 20, 2023, I will no longer be accepting new clients. For my existing clients, I will keep you informed as I finalize my plans. I expect to be substantially cutting back my efforts in my private practice after November 30, 2023, which is the date I will close my physical office. I do intend to keep my law license active after that date, for an as-yet undetermined amount of time, so that I can be available for various services, selectively.
​
The best way to reach me is through my mobile number, 207-441-9133. My trusted paralegal, Fatima, continues to help as available; you can reach her at fatima@lwilkinsonlaw.com.

I've worked with Les for the past 15 years in several capacities. I have used his expert services for advice on the sale of my engineering business as well as complex real estate transactions, large land tract purchases and personal estate matters. Les is fair, honest, exceptional and has integrity in addition to first-rate know-how in his areas of law. I feel fortunate to know him on both a professional and personal basis.

Our company has been a business client of Les Wilkinson for many years. One of the many reasons why we like working with Les is the service we receive from both Les and his assistant Fatima Lima. We can always rely on Fatima to be responsive to our emails, phone calls and requests. The service that Ms. Lima provides to us is invaluable. We always get a very timely, courteous, professional response to our requests. As an officer of the corporation it is assuring knowing that we have this team to support our needs.

My family and I recently sold real estate and Wilkinson Law represented the buyer. It was a pleasure to work with such caring and talented professionals. The entire closing process has been so smooth and much appreciated by our family. Continued health and service to your legal firm and clients in the years to come. All the best!

We sold our business in early 2022 and chose to do so without a R/E broker. Mr. Wilkinson assured us that as a Real Estate lawyer he could safely guide us through the process. This was more than accurate. The sale was not without difficulty, and although the closing date was extended three times, it was not due to any issues with Les and Fatima. They were very responsive and prompt when the responsibility was on them to process paperwork or turn information around.
Although entirely professional, Fatima was very compassionate and understanding when we needed to call and ask (many) questions concerning processes and protocols. Les was 100% on top of anything that might potentially pose any risk or liability to us, as we had never been through the selling process before. At the end when things looked as though they were unraveling a bit he was on top of it and helped us through the difficulty with both sides ultimately satisfied with the outcome.
We would highly recommend this team; we were more than happy.
