About Jason M.
Jason M. Rice began his legal path in Florida. He earned a B.A. from the University of South Florida and went on to receive his J.D. from Stetson University College of Law. Those years shaped his approach to practice. They provided the classroom training and practical clinics that inform how he handles cases today.
After law school he entered private practice and built experience across a range of family law matters. Over time he moved his professional base to Maine and established a practice there. His background in Florida remains a point of reference. It informs how he considers jurisdictional and procedural questions that arise in cross-state disputes.
Mr. Rice is a member of several professional organizations. He holds membership in the State Bar of Maine, the American Bar Association, The Florida Bar and the New Hampshire Bar Association. Those memberships reflect continued ties to the broader legal community in New England and Florida. He maintains professional contacts across state lines and participates in continuing legal education.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in case preparation and straightforward in court. He prefers clear legal reasoning over theatrical argument. Files are organized; deadlines are watched closely. He is comfortable in contested hearings and in negotiation settings. He aims to present facts and law in a way that judges and opposing counsel can follow without guesswork.
In Maine he set up an office under the name Dirigo Divorce. The practice handles divorce proceedings and related family law matters. Cases range from routine uncontested matters to more complex disputes that involve asset division and parenting plans. He spends time assessing each client's situation and mapping the procedural steps likely to affect outcomes.
Rice keeps a practical perspective on the law. He often emphasizes the procedural choices that shape a case as much as the substantive claims themselves. That attention to process is part of how he manages files and advises clients. He currently practices divorce and family law at Dirigo Divorce in Maine.
