Biography Submit listing

Andrew (Andy) Sarapas of the Brunswick, Maine law firm Ranger Copeland French, P.A. practices bankruptcy and real estate law, helping individuals and businesses in the Midcoast and Greater Portland, Maine regions resolve financial difficulties through workouts and in bankruptcy proceedings. Andy has served as lead counsel to debtors, committees and trustees in small to large Chapter 11 cases, and has assisted hundreds of clients in Chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcies. He has also brought to successful resolution many real property disputes that become complicated when defective title and mortgage issues come to light in bankruptcy cases.

Before joining Ranger Copeland French Andy was a partner at a major Portland, Maine law firm, and later an attorney at one of Maine’s leading consumer law firms. When faced with financial problems or bankruptcy litigation, many clients and their state law attorneys rely on Andy’s expertise for solutions to the complex family, property, tax, municipal tax, and many other legal issues that can arise simultaneously in bankruptcy and adversary proceedings. Other lawyers have called Andy the “go-to” person for bankruptcy and real estate cases because of his track record for successfully concluding matters not only through negotiation and litigation where needed, but often in the practical and efficient approach he is known to use for problem solving.

Andy was raised examining titles in various registries of deeds, and later learned to process loans, underwrite title insurance policies, and conduct loan closings for residential and commercial loan projects, having worked in that field before, during and after law school. Andy also served as judicial law clerk for the Maine Superior Court upon graduating from law school.
