An aggressive yet thoughtful trial attorney, David finds creative solutions to complex problems and has been doing so throughout his remarkable decades-long practice in the areas of personal injury, family law, land disputes, corporate disputes, and building and construction disputes.

In fact, he and his brother, Sumner Lipman, obtained what was for many years the largest state court verdict in the history of the State of Maine for medical malpractice.

Terrence D. “Terry” Garmey

Terry Garmey is a legend in Maine personal injury law, known for his unmatched trial record, groundbreaking verdicts, and passionate advocacy for the injured. With more than 40 years of courtroom experience, he has earned more seven-figure verdicts than any other attorney in Maine and was the first Maine lawyer invited into the Inner Circle of Advocates, a group limited to the top 100 plaintiff attorneys in the United States. He is also a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, a “Best Lawyers in America” honoree, and a multiple-time winner of Personal Injury Litigator of the Year for Portland. Terry has appeared on national news outlets including Good Morning America and The Today Show, and in 2018, received the Legends Award from the Maine Trial Lawyers Association, with tributes from Senator Angus King and former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell. Yet what defines Terry isn’t awards-it’s relationships. His commitment to justice is best illustrated by the story of 8-year-old Tucker Smith, a client whose tragic death led not only to justice for the family, but to national safety reforms. A photograph of Tucker still hangs in Terry’s office as a daily reminder of his mission: to make a difference in people’s lives.
