Portland Maine Attorney

As a Portland Maine trial attorney, I, Peter J. Cyr, represent clients throughout Southern Maine who seek legal counsel for criminal, family and civil matters. 

Portland Maine Criminal Attorney

I have years of experience defending clients in State and Federal Court charged with crimes including:

Murder;  Bank Robbery;  Burglary;  Felony Firearm Offenses;  Drug Conspiracy;  Aggravated Trafficking;  Possession;  Aggravated Assault;  Sexual Assault;  Rape;  Domestic Violence Assault; Parole and Probation Violations;  Embezzlement; Internet Fraud; Driving While Intoxicated(DWI); Operating Under the Influence(OUI); Driving Under the Influence (DUI);  Operating After Suspension;  Operating Without a License;  White Collar Crimes;  and Traffic Offenses.

I have tried multiple jury trials in State and Federal Court with successful outcomes. 

Many times in criminal matters, pre trial motions are an integral part of a winning defense.   I have successfully argued countless motions to suppress evidence, statements, and confessions based on law enforcement violations of client's rights.  I am persistent in my quest to ensure that the State or Government has provided my clients with all the relevant evidence, both good and bad, and has followed all the required procedures and protocols.  If there's a way to get the case dismissed, I'll find it. 

Portland Maine Family Attorney

I have years of experience representing clients faced with Family Law matters including:

Child Support;  Child Custody;  Child Visitation;  Divorce;  Spousal Support and Alimony;  Division of Marital Property and Debt;  Modifications of Existing Divorce and Custody Orders;  Protection from Abuse.

Portland Maine Civil Trial Attorney

Since I started practicing law, I have represented clients in personal injury cases including:

Car Accidents;  Wrongful Death;  Permanent Disability;  Slip and Fall Accidents;  and Medical Malpractice cases. 

Biographical Information

I grew up in Central Maine and attended Piscataquis Community High School.  I graduated in 1989 a member of the National Honors Society. 

Following High School, I attended Providence College in Providence, RI.  During the summer recess, I earned money to pay for tuition by working at Hardwood Products Company, a wood manufacturing plant in Guilford, Maine. 

After graduating magna cum laude from Providence College in 1993, I set out to help underprivileged kids stay in school in Austin, Texas as a VISTA Volunteer. 

I stayed in Texas after completing my tour as a VISTA Volunteer and worked as a carpenter building houses West of Austin. 

In 1997, I returned home to Maine to commence my first year of Law School at the University of Maine School of Law.  I graduated Law School in 2000, cum laude, and received the University of Maine Alumni Association Award for academic excellence in writing and oral communication skills. 

Since graduating law school, I have focused on trial practice.  I represent all types of clients in State and Federal court in Maine and Massachusetts.
