About Meryl

Meryl is a trial lawyer who is defined by her competitiveness and commitment to her clients. She understands that those are the two most valuable qualities in a lawyer whose job is to stand up in a courtroom and fight for individuals who have been harmed by the carelessness of others. Meryl’s representation style is one that is client focused. She enjoys getting to know her clients far above and beyond the harms they have endured. She considers it essential to providing the best representation to her clients. Meryl believes that the best lawyers are the ones who are willing to take risks. Gideon Asen's mission is to serve its clients not just through hard work and superior strategy, but by taking calculated risks to maximize results. Meryl is included in Best Lawyers - Ones to Watch for her expertise in Plaintiff’s Medical Malpractice Law, Personal Injury Litigation, and Product Liability Litigation, and in Super Lawyers Rising Stars; these designations are given to attorneys that distinguish themselves during their first decade of practice. Meryl is a Maine native and attended Colby College and the University of Maine School of Law. Meryl is an extraordinary athlete. At Colby, Meryl played varsity hockey, field hockey, and softball and was captain of the hockey and field hockey teams. Meryl was able to achieve incredible athletic success despite being sidelined for many months with two major knee injuries and reconstructive surgeries. Her experience dealing with chronic knee injuries gave her insight into the difficulties of living with pain and the effect of debilitating injuries on every part of a person’s physical and emotional well-being. At Maine Law school, Meryl distinguished herself as an appellate advocate, winning the honor of “Prize Arguer” in her class and the Gignoux Award for Appellate Advocacy. Meryl was a part of two moot court teams that competed on a national level. In her third year, she and her moot court partner - now Gideon Asen colleague Trevor Savage - finished in the top three of a competition of more than forty. After law school, Meryl worked at a large law firm in Portland defending medical malpractice and personal injury cases. This work gave her a keen understanding of how insurance companies operate. Meryl also worked at Pine Tree Legal Assistance, Maine’s largest legal aid organization. At Pine Tree, Meryl tried nearly twenty cases to verdict and prevailed in all but one case.
