Adrienne S. Hansen joined Reben, Benjamin & March in August 2002. Adrienne's practice focuses on workers' compensation, wage and hour violations, and severance negotiations, though she also regularly handles social security disability appeals, professional licensing appeals, and discrimination and whistleblower claims. Adrienne has established a reputation for relating to her clients as people and being sensitive to their concerns, all the while zealously advocating for them and achieving great results.

Adrienne received her juris doctor from the University of Colorado School of Law in 2002 and her bachelor's degree from Duke University in 1997. Prior to joining Reben, Benjamin & March, Adrienne interned for the National Organization for Women, working with a team of lawyers and advocates educating judges across the country on domestic violence issues.

Adrienne is admitted to the bar in the State of Maine, and is admitted to practice before the United States District Court for the District of Maine, and the First Circuit Court of Appeals.

In her free time, Adrienne enjoys exploring the coast and mountains of Maine with her family, running, and reading.
