Anne-Marie’s legal career has followed a unique path, beginning with service in the Peace Corps in Thailand after graduating from Middlebury College. Upon returning to the States, she ventured into the legal sphere as a paralegal in Boston to explore her interest in law. Subsequently, she pursued her law degree at Vermont Law School in 1992, graduating cum laude in 1995. Relocating to Maine that same year, Anne-Marie began her law career at a different law firm before joining Rudman Winchell three years later. Her areas of expertise encompass all aspects of employment law, including advising employers on various employment-related issues, representation of employers in administrative forums, and navigating complex cases for employers before the Maine Human Rights Commission and in state and federal court.

Anne-Marie possesses comprehensive expertise in all aspects of employment law, focusing her practice primarily on advising and representing employers and businesses throughout the State. She has handled many impactful cases, including a win in the Bourgoin vs. Twin Rivers Paper Company dispute, decided by Maine’s Supreme Judicial Court, related to medical marijuana’s compensability under workers’ compensation laws. Her inclusion in the Best Lawyers and Super Lawyers listings, alongside her longstanding role as a speaker at premier HR conferences and the Maine State Bar Association’s “Bridging the Gap” annual legal education seminar, underscores her exceptional contribution to the legal profession.

Recognized for her commitment to understanding clients’ unique needs, Anne-Marie delves deep into the intricacies of each employer’s operations, legal needs, and philosophical approach toward their employees. Her candid and direct approach resonates well with clients seeking efficient, personalized, and timely solutions.

Active participation in professional bodies such as the Maine State Bar Association, Human Resource Association of Eastern Maine, and the American Bar Association reflects Anne-Marie’s commitment to continuous legal education, as well as her commitment to educating others on the law. Additionally, Anne-Marie volunteers with many organizations in the greater Bangor and Ellsworth areas, including the Eastern Area Agency on Aging, the Bangor YMCA, The Grand Theatre in Ellsworth, Meals on Wheels, the Maine Discovery Museum, and the Bangor Humane Society. Anne-Marie was also the recipient of the 2022 Bangor Chamber of Commerce Volunteer of the Year award, celebrating her dedication and consistent drive to support her community.

Anne-Marie’s success as an attorney can be attributed to her sense of humor, straightforwardness, and ability to communicate effectively at a human level. Her personal interests include running as many half- and full marathons as she can, and spending time with her family – husband, John, daughter, Zoey, and dogs, Josie (St. Bernard) and Boba (French Bulldog). When not in the office or at a board meeting, you might find Anne-Marie behind the scenes of a production at The Grand or hiking a local trail.
