Information about Small Claims
The Maine Volunteer Lawyers Project helps litigants with small claims court matters, which involve disputes of less than $6,000. Volunteer attorneys provide advice for small claims litigants during our Small Claims Clinics held twice each month. Attorneys can help with procedure issues, stating a proper legal claim, and understanding how to defend in these matters. This clinic operates on a remote basis and you can attend by Zoom or by phone.
