Civil Rights Program

Did your doctor refuse to hire an interpreter for your appointment?

Did the organizers of a public hearing or meeting refuse to provide CART services when you requested them?

Is your D/deaf or Hard of Hearing child being denied services by your school system?

MCD’s Civil Rights attorneys can help by offering free advice and individual representation at meetings, hearings, and court proceedings with the full weight of ADA and Maine Human Rights law behind them. This is FREE to D/deaf, HoH, Late Deafened people and to parents of children with hearing loss.

MCD also promotes systemic change by working directly with Maine agencies and legislators on matters of importance to the D/deaf, Hard of Hearing and Late Deafened communities.

MCD does NOT provide criminal or family law, but we can refer to other lawyers who can.
