Portland Press Herald

August 24, 2014

Steve Langsdorf was featured in a Press Herald story about his representation of the Town of Chelsea.

An Excerpt

The town’s attorney, Stephen Langsdorf, said the town was used as the vehicle for some of Swan’s criminal acts. In particular, he cited a contract page that investigators found at Carole Swan’s home showing that two other selectwomen had approved a one-year renewal of Monroe’s 2010 snowplow contract. Swan, however, provided Monroe and the town with a copy showing a two-year renewal.
