Maine Law Firm Represents Clients from Different Countries Around The World

Joe Bornstein

The Law Offices of Joe Bornstein proudly serves the legal needs of all Maine residents, including longtime residents and non-English speaking residents who recently moved here from another country.

“America is a nation of immigrants,” attorney Bornstein said. “For generations, people from around the world have come to our country in search of a better life. That’s why we’re proud to offer legal services to all residents, whether you’re from Quebec or Somalia, Mexico or another country. Even if you speak English, navigating Maine’s legal system can be complicated. That’s why we encourage all people to contact our law firm if you’ve been injured in an accident due to someone else’s reckless or negligent behavior.”

Founded in 1974, our law firm offers legal services in numerous languages. With the assistance of The Catholic Charities of Maine, several pages on our website have been translated into 11 different languages. In addition, if a client does not speak English, our firm makes translation and interpretation services available to clients in their native language. Some of the languages we routinely offer services in include:

  • Arabic (al-ʿArabiyyah)
  • Chinese (Including Mandarin and Cantonese)
  • French (Français)
  • Hebrew
  • Kinyarwanda (Spoken in Rwanda, Uganda and Democratic Republic of Congo)
  • Lingala (Bantu language spoken in Democratic Republic of Congo, Republic of Congo, Central African Republic and Angola)
  • Portuguese (Português)
  • Russian (русский язык)
  • Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt)
  • Somali (Af-Soomaali)
  • Spanish (español)

 

If a client speaks another language, our law firm will make every effort to locate a translator to serve that person’s legal needs, attorney Bornstein explained. “What matters more is we simply want to make sure that anyone who needs legal help in Maine can get the help they need, regardless of what language they speak,” Bornstein said.
