J. Scott Logan | Portland Bankruptcy & Debt Lawyer

A lifelong resident of Maine, I graduated from Bowdoin College summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa where I met my wife, Carrie McGilvery, a Yarmouth native. I briefly pursued a career in Antique auctioneering before attending Boston College Law School.  There, I was a writer for the Uniform Commercial Code Reporter Digest. After I graduated from law school in 2005, I returned to Maine, where I have practiced exclusively in the fields of consumer and small business bankruptcy and consumer law in Saco, later in Auburn, and since 2009, in Portland.

I pride myself on offering one-on-one communication with my clients, at a low cost. Many bankruptcy lawyers divide up the work between the partner, associates, and paralegals. However, I have found that practice makes my clients uneasy. When you call me for a free consultation, you can be assured that you will meet with me. We will discuss all of the options available, whether you are facing a foreclosure, consumer law issue, or debt management issue. My paralegal Adrianna and I will work with you to determine the best course of action, whether that is seeking a loan modification, mediating a foreclosure, pursuing debt settlement, debt consolidation (unfortunately, I don’t offer this service, but will put you in touch with someone who does), or Chapter, 7, 11, 12, or 13 bankruptcy. When there are court hearings, I will be the lawyer attending them, and I do my very best to answer all emails and calls personally, though Adrianna is an experienced paralegal and can always help when I’m not available. I find that having one lawyer follow a case from start to finish enables that lawyer to better represent his clients and gives the clients a sense of security and certainty in a  stressful time.
