Service Area
As the Hancock County seat and the gateway to Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park, Ellsworth sees heavy seasonal traffic on Route 1 and Route 3 — and with it, a steady number of auto accident and personal injury cases. We also handle real estate and probate matters throughout Hancock County from our Bangor office.

01
Whether you're buying, selling, or refinancing property in Ellsworth, Gray & Palmer handles purchase and sale agreements, title review, deed preparation, and easement agreements. Our roots are in real estate law — the firm's very first cases, back in 1983, were residential and commercial real estate transactions — and we bring that same attention to every closing we handle for Ellsworth clients today.
02
If you or a family member has been injured in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident near Ellsworth, or by medical malpractice or another's negligence, Gray & Palmer accepts personal injury cases on a contingency-fee basis — there is no fee unless we recover a settlement for you. We work to secure compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering for Ellsworth-area clients and their families.
03
Divorce, custody and support, visitation, and adoption matters are personal, and we work with Ellsworth families to reach fair, workable agreements under Maine law — including help collecting overdue child support through the state's Department of Health and Human Services and arrangements for guardianship or adoption.
Back to 01
When a Ellsworth family loses a loved one, Gray & Palmer guides the Personal Representative and beneficiaries through Maine's probate process — authenticating the will, paying outstanding debts, and distributing the estate correctly. Not every estate requires full probate; Maine offers simplified procedures for smaller estates, and we help Ellsworth families determine which path applies.
We also help Ellsworth residents put a plan in place ahead of time — a will, durable power of attorney, and advance health care directive — so that your wishes, not Maine's intestacy laws, decide how your estate is handled.
