Legal Services for the Elderly Description
LSE provides persons age 60 and over with free legal advice.
Services:
Health care, health insurance, Medicare (including Part D), MaineCare (Medicaid), Social Security and other public benefits, pension and retirement benefits, powers of attorney, consumer matters including creditor and bankruptcy problems, physical and financial abuse, guardianship defense and other issues.
Mission Statement: Since 1974, Legal Services for the Elderly has been helping Maine seniors protect their rights to live independently and with dignity. Legal Services for the Elderly's mission is to provide free, high quality legal services to Maine's socially and economically needy elderly aged 60 and over. While many people recognize income as a barrier to obtaining necessary legal help, many seniors with social needs also face barriers to getting assistance. Social needs include needs caused by non-economic factors such as physical and mental disabilities, language barriers, and cultural, social or geographic isolation.
Many attorneys that assist low income person(s), charge on a sliding fee schedule. For that reason we have added the latest federal poverty levels below so that you can see how much you may be charged if you use this attorney.
