A Day in the Life of a Criminal Defense Lawyer with Leonard J. Sharon

On April 30 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., the Lewiston Public Library and the Senior College at USM LAC will give attendees an opportunity to peek into the life of a criminal defense lawyer to see what it takes to represent these clients and to ensure they receive the proper protection and rights afforded to them by the law.

Sharon’s practice is centered in Auburn and he was a past professor at the University of Maine Law School where he taught evidence and negotiations. He is a member of the Maine and Pennsylvania Bar Associations and a past president of the Maine Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.

This event is will take place in Callahan Hall and is free and open to the all ages of the public. For questions, please call 207-513-3135 or email lplreference@gmail.com.
