AUBURN — Skelton Taintor & Abbott has hired attorney Braden Clement, who will focus his practice in personal injury law, medical malpractice and civil litigation.

Clement was selected for inclusion in New England Rising Stars in the category of General Litigation in 2016, and received Katahdin Counsel Recognition for his pro bono efforts in 2014, 2015 and 2016. Prior to joining Skelton Taintor & Abbott, he was an associate with another Maine law firm.
