About

Lawsmith Legal Services, L.L.C., is a Bangor-based law firm led by Attorney Zachary J. Smith, who has been working hard for ordinary Mainers since 2014. Operating as a sole practitioner, Smith brings focused expertise and personal attention to each client matter, maintaining a practice rooted in three core areas: workers' compensation, criminal defense, and civil litigation.

On the workers' compensation side, Smith represents injured employees across Maine, handling claims from initial filing through appeal. His track record includes dozens of successful cases that have recovered hundreds of thousands of dollars for clients through settlements and decrees before the Maine Workers' Compensation Board. His extensive courtroom experience spans all six regional board locations—Bangor, Augusta, Portland, Lewiston, Caribou, and Calais—allowing him to serve injured workers statewide.

In criminal defense, Smith has represented accused individuals in hundreds of cases. His approach emphasizes achieving reasonable outcomes for clients, whether through negotiated plea agreements, outright case dismissals, jury trial acquittals, or reduced sentences on open pleas. He is a member of the Maine Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and brings both courtroom experience and strategic insight to state-court matters. His criminal practice currently serves Penobscot, Waldo, Hancock, and Piscataquis Counties, covering communities including Bangor, Belfast, Ellsworth, Newport, Bar Harbor, and Dover-Foxcroft, among others.

Beyond these primary areas, Smith also handles civil matters, particularly protection from abuse and harassment cases. He has appeared in courts throughout Maine, including the state district and superior courts and the Maine Supreme Judicial Court.

Smith is licensed to practice law in Maine and holds membership in the Maine State Bar Association. He maintains an office at 61 Main Street, Suite 21/23 (Coe Building) in Bangor and currently accepts new clients for criminal defense, appeals, abuse and harassment protection cases, and workers' compensation matters. He can be reached at (207) 573-4229 or zachary@lawsmithmaine.com.
