Pine Tree Legal Assistance is a 501(c)(3) organization providing legal assistance to low income people throughout the State of Maine. It receives funding from the Legal Services Corporation, the Maine Bar Foundation and from private contributions. If you would like to pledge a financial contribution, or to receive a brochure with more information about Pine Tree, please e-mail us your name and address below.
Both Pine Tree Legal Assistance and the Volunteer Lawyers Project rely on volunteers in the provision of services to low income people calling for assistance from throughout Maine. Volunteers are responsible for answering in-coming calls. Volunteers are trained to interview clients, determine the facts of the case, and provide information, referrals and assistance.
LEGAL EXPERIENCE IS NOT NECESSARY. Training, reading materials, and supervision are provided. Quick learners with strong communication skills and a sensitivity to low income issues are encouraged to contact Chuck Henegar at the VLP, either directly or by e-mail.
