ROCKLAND, Maine — Lawyer Willard “Skip” Pease and his longtime paralegal, Patricia “Trish” Leclerc, have rejoined the law firm of Crandall, Hanscom & Collins.
Pease had been a principal in Crandall, Hanscom, Pease & Collins for nearly 20 years before leaving to open The Pease Law Firm in Rockland in 2001.
Pease was a honor graduate at Rockland District High School and then attended the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, served in the Army becoming an Army Ranger, airborne qualified, and attained the rank of captain. He had 18 months of command duty in West Germany.
Leclerc grew up in Brewer and is a 1983 graduate of Brewer High School. She has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Maine and worked briefly in southern Maine before joining Crandall, Hanscom, Pease & Collins in June 1989. She has been a paralegal at The Pease Law Firm, specializing in real estate transactions, since 2007.
“Trish and I are pleased to be back at Crandall, Hanscom & Collins,” Pease stated in a news release. “I have always considered Sam Collins to be my mentor. Serving ‘of counsel’ will give me some flexibility, an opportunity to mentor the younger attorneys in the firm, and the opportunity to concentrate on real estate transactions as well as personal legal matters with our longtime clients.”
