Are you interested in helping Maine consumers resolve disputes with businesses?  The Attorney General’s Office is recruiting mediators for the Consumer Medication Service.  The next training is scheduled for January 14-16, 2019 in Augusta.

For more than 30 years, the Consumer Protection Division of the Attorney General’s office has offered a free and voluntary complaint resolution program for Maine consumers, staffed by trained volunteers and overseen by full-time staff.

Volunteers will mediate consumer complaints over the phone or by mail in the Attorney General’s Augusta office on a variety of matters including express and implied warranty issues, landlord-tenant, car repairs and car sales, and more.  Volunteers will be thoroughly trained in consumer law and mediation techniques in the three-day training.  They will then volunteer between 3 to 6 hours per week on a schedule convenient to them during normal business hours under the supervision of members of the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division in Augusta.

Please direct all inquiries to Complaint Examiner Martha Curier at (207) 626-8847 or email Martha.Currier@maine.gov.
