What do we do?
Our Administrative Support Program provides essential assistance at the administrative level to individuals and families in need. While we are committed to supporting you, it's important to note that our services are limited to administrative functions. For any legal matters related to immigration or other legal issues, we refer clients to legal aid organizations such as ILAP Maine, and to others, we will also connect you to attorneys or law firms we collaborate with.
Given the limited number of immigration lawyers in the state of Maine, we assist our clients in finding legal representation both within the state and beyond. We help connect them with reputable law firms and legal professionals that we trust and are familiar with, ensuring they receive the specialized legal support they need to navigate their cases successfully.
Our goal is to provide the necessary resources and connections, guiding clients toward the legal assistance that will best serve their needs.
