NO FEE LSE does not charge for its work. If a client can afford to pay for his or her own court costs, we encourage them to do so in order that we can serve as many people as possible. Voluntary contributions to LSE are encouraged. We depend on grants and private donations for operating funds. Grants are provided by Maine's Area Agencies on Aging, the Department of Human Services' Bureau of Elder and Adult Services, the federal Administration on Aging and the Maine Bar Foundation.
Donations come from clients, private attorneys and charitable organizations.
These are some examples of legal problems faced by Maine's elderly every day. If you are faced with one of these or similar problems, it is vital that you get good advice as soon as possible in order to protect your rights. Our lawyers and paralegals are specially trained in those legal areas that affect the lives of older people. Our four offices are located throughout the State in order to better serve all of Maine's elderly citizens with the legal service needed - from good solid advice to legal counseling and court representation, if necessary. LSE works closely with other organizations that serve the elderly.
