ELLSWORTH —Eaton Peabody’s Ellsworth office will open for business on Monday, May 9. The Ellsworth location at 204 Main Street replaces Eaton Peabody’s Blue Hill office in an effort to better serve its Downeast clientele. Blue Hill has been home to an Eaton Peabody office for ten years.

Donna Jancewcz is the office’s paralegal, and was recently named president of the National Association of Legal Secretary’s Maine Chapter.
