National Pension Lawyers Network Grows to More than 600

The National Pension Lawyers Network (NPLN) is coordinated by Attorney Jeanne Medeiros, who also directs the non-Massachusetts work of the New England Pension Assistance Project (Jack Pizer directs work with Massachusetts clients).  As a result of outreach this summer, carried out with the help of Gerontology PhD candidates Lona Choi and Dena Schulman-Green, the list of attorneys has grown from 530 to 650.  A contract with the U.S. Department of Labor made the outreach possible.

The NPLN list consists of lawyers from around the country who are available to represent workers, retirees, and their families in pension matters on a regular-fee, reduced-fee, and/or pro bono basis.  Pension attorneys interested in joining the network can call 617-287-7332 or return a registration form, which can be found on the Web at www.pensionaction.org/npln/form.htm.
