Portland is a truly beautiful and magical city with so much to offer. The one thing Portland has too little of, however, is PARKING. To eliminate the stress experienced by our clients when they must circle the block multiple times in search of that allusive parking space near our office, Schultz Family Law relocated to 7 Estate Drive, Gorham at The Tyng Estate Professional Suites offering a large parking lot full of free parking spaces for our clients. Don’t let the Gorham address scare you; we’re just barely in Gorham over the Westbrook town line. In fact, the “Welcome to Gorham, Home of the University of Southern Maine” sign is on our land.
