About Christian
Christian Lewis built a path to law through sustained study and regional practice. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from James Madison University in 1996. He then completed a Master of Science at the Joint Military Intelligence College in 2003. He finished his legal education at Duquesne University School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 2006. The sequence of degrees reflects a blend of liberal arts, technical analysis and legal training.
After law school, Lewis established a practice that centers in Maine. He is admitted to the bar in Maine and is also authorized to appear before the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Those admissions allow him to represent clients in state forums and to handle matters that reach the federal appellate level when necessary. His presence in Portland places him within the state's primary commercial and institutional hub.
Lewis’s academic background in military intelligence is an uncommon element in a typical law profile. It suggests a grounding in research, information analysis and structured problem solving. He applies those habits of mind to legal matters, parsing complex records and organizing factual narratives for judges and other decision makers. His law degree rounded out that preparation, providing training in litigation, legal writing and courtroom procedure.
Over the years he has guided clients through proceedings in state courts and has taken cases that require federal appellate access. His practice in Portland serves individuals, small businesses and local institutions that need counsel on litigation and appeals. He handles filings, prepares appellate briefs and appears in hearings when the precise application of law matters to a client’s outcome.
Colleagues describe his work as methodical and thorough, and he often draws on his earlier intelligence studies when cases demand detailed factual development. He continues to maintain an office in Portland, Maine, where he manages casework, meets with clients and oversees filings. That base allows him to handle both trial-level matters in Maine and appellate matters in the First Circuit.
As of 2026 he remains based in Portland, practicing in state and federal matters and using his combined academic background to address litigation and appellate challenges.
