About Andrew Fiske
Andrew Fiske Hastings is an attorney who built his academic foundations in New England. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy from Bates College in 2002 after beginning his undergraduate studies in 1998. He returned to Maine for law school, completing his Juris Doctor at the University of Maine School of Law in 2010, having matriculated in 2007. The sequence of degrees reflects a steady progression from liberal arts to legal training.
After law school, Hastings entered the practice of law in jurisdictions where he is admitted: Maine and Massachusetts. He has maintained a practice across both states, working on matters that arise in state courts and regulatory settings. His work draws on the analytical training of a philosophy undergraduate and the doctrinal and practical training of a Maine law graduate.
Hastings keeps an active presence in professional circles. He maintains current memberships in professional associations, taking part in the routines of continuing legal education and bar-related activities that shape everyday practice. He has developed a professional network across the two states where he is licensed to practice.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in courtroom preparation and attentive to client meetings. Those traits are reflected in how he approaches casework: careful issue spotting, attention to timelines, and steady management of procedural tasks. He has handled a range of matters that present in state court dockets and administrative forums, mindful of local rules and practice norms in both Maine and Massachusetts.
Outside of formal filings and hearings, Hastings applies his philosophical training to legal problems. That background shows up in written argument, where clarity and attention to the structure of reasoning matter. It also informs how he assesses risks and explains options to clients who face complicated decisions.
Hastings’s path from Bates College to the University of Maine School of Law and into dual-state practice reflects a regional career rooted in New England. He continues to practice law in Maine and Massachusetts, representing clients in matters that arise under state and local law.
