After graduating from Maine Law, Devens (Devie) went to work for the New Hampshire Public Defender. In that role, he was one of the original members of the “Special Defender Office” and became a senior staff attorney. After close to 9 years at NHPD, he returned to Maine and opened a law office which focused almost exclusively on indigent defense. In addition to having over 100 jury trials and countless bench trials, Devie attended a number of national trainings including three through the National Criminal Defense College.
Since 2023, in partnership with MCILS, Devie has turned his attention to training and mentoring MCILS rostered lawyers.
