Bangor, July 28, 2022 – Rudman Winchell marks another milestone in it’s over 100-year history as it expands to its second location in Ellsworth, Maine. The firm’s new location at 77 State Street in Ellsworth is walking distance to Downtown and just steps from Ellsworth City Hall.

By growing our footprint in Maine, we will more easily attract young talent and meet the growing need for legal services in Downeast Maine.
