About

Gideon Asen LLC is a specialized personal injury and medical malpractice law firm serving Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont from its Bangor base. The firm has built a reputation for achieving substantial recoveries in complex cases, including the highest personal injury verdict in Maine history of $41 million. With an average recovery exceeding $1 million per case resolved, Gideon Asen has recovered millions of dollars for clients in matters that other law firms declined to pursue.

The firm's approach is grounded in a clearly defined set of core values that shape how it handles every engagement. Rather than treating law as a conventional business, attorneys and staff at Gideon Asen regularly work beyond standard hours to advance client interests. The firm explicitly rejects the practice of advising clients to accept settlements below full case value out of fear or ego. Instead, it has pioneered the use of big data studies to predict accurate case values and provide clients with science-based guidance for decision-making.

A distinguishing characteristic of Gideon Asen's practice is its relentless approach to problem-solving. Where other firms may see insurmountable challenges, the attorneys bring genuine curiosity and drive to uncover creative solutions. This methodology—always asking why and looking deeper into factual and legal issues—has enabled the firm to recover substantial sums in cases competitors turned away.

Recognizing that clients have no recovery until a case concludes, Gideon Asen operates with what it describes as calculated urgency. The firm applies pressure to overcome the typical delays and inertia introduced by opposing counsel and defendants, while maintaining the discipline needed to ensure thorough case development. Speed is never pursued at the expense of getting the details right.

The firm is committed to continuous improvement, viewing professional and personal growth as essential to superior client service. Attorneys and staff are encouraged to develop their skills, strategic thinking, empathy, and efficiency, with the conviction that becoming better lawyers and better people translates directly to better outcomes for clients.
