About Adam J
Adam J Bean took a measured course to the bar. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from Hobart and William Smith Colleges in 1993. More than a decade later he completed his legal studies at the University of Maine School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 2005. Those academic years laid a steady foundation for a practice based in Maine.
His early legal roles are reflected in a sequence of small-firm and title company positions. In 2008 he joined Susan J. Szwed, P.A. as an associate lawyer. That position placed him in a compact legal setting where he worked directly on client matters and was part of a small legal team. Two years later he is listed as a lawyer at Seacoast Law & Title, beginning in 2010. The move marked a shift into an environment focused on property and transactional work common to title and settlement operations.
Over time Bean built experience across different practice settings. He has worked inside a private practice office and in a title company, which gave him exposure to the practical demands of client intake, file management and the procedural aspects of closing and recording work. Colleagues have noted his steady handling of routine and complex tasks, and he has remained involved in the local legal community through his day-to-day practice.
On the licensing front, Bean is authorized to practice in Maine and is admitted to the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine. That combination allows him to take on matters that arise in both state and federal forums. It also means he can represent clients on a range of issues that require appearances in Maine courts or in the federal district court that serves the state.
Clients and peers describe him as pragmatic and unassuming in his approach. He favors clear, direct communication and practical problem solving over grand strategy. He has maintained a career that balances the procedural side of transactions with the client-facing obligations of a small-practice lawyer.
As of 2026 Bean continues to practice law in Maine and is available to handle matters requiring admission in the Maine state courts and the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine.
