Pine Tree also manages the Volunteer Lawyers Proect which provides assistance to eligible clients in certain cases from private attorneys throughout the state. 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.
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. 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 .
