There were 11 lawyers with active licenses to practice in Bar Harbor as of the second quarter of 2026, according to the Board of Overseers of the Bar.

Data refers to all lawyers who were actively practicing during this time period.

Maine has no public defenders, and an investigation by the Maine Monitor found inexperienced lawyers would be assigned to murders and other serious crimes. More than one out of every eight case assignments that required specialized representation was given to an attorney who was supposed to be ineligible to serve.

As of 2023, the average salary for a lawyer in Maine is around $101,226 per year.
