Employment-Related Legal
Southern Maine Workers’ Center (SMWC) Hotline
207-358-9211
The hotline often forwards legal questions to appropriate law firms that represent employees, depending on the issues raised. Also, the SMWC is working to establish a once a week, free employment law clinic at their offices on Washington Ave. in Portland. Once it is underway, the plan is for the clinic to be staffed by 2 attorneys, rotating between a number of volunteers, including lawyers from my firm. They expect that this will start in March 2018, but the planning is ongoing and the date is not set.
