Happy Fourth of July from all of us at VBK!

Today, we celebrate a day that marks independence. We celebrate the communities we call home, and we celebrate the people who make Maine such a special place to live, work, and raise a family.

This 4th of July is especially meaningful as our nation begins celebrating America's 250th anniversary - a milestone honoring 250 years of resilience, service, and the enduring principles on which our country was founded.

Whether you're watching fireworks, gathering with family and friends, or enjoying everything Maine has to offer this holiday weekend, we hope your Fourth of July is filled with joy, gratitude, and safe travels.

Happy Independence Day!

Today, we recognize Juneteenth, marking an important moment in American history—the day freedom finally reached the last enslaved people in Texas more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

As we reflect on the significance of this day, we also recognize the daily importance of equal justice, opportunity, and dignity for all.

And we honor the resilience, achievements, and contributions of Black Americans throughout our nation's history.

Jim Munch, VBK attorney, spoke to the ​Bangor, Maine Rotary Breakfast ​Club this spring about the challenges faced by lawyers and clients in the use of AI​. ​

Jim spoke about the ethical issues faced by attorneys when using AI.

These range from :
✓ Client data confidentiality concerns
✓ AI accuracy issues
✓And the pitfalls facing attorneys if there is an incomplete understanding of the issues presented by the use of AI.

Jim stressed that business owners and consumers in general need to be mindful that data used in AI, if not properly used, can be compromised and possibly lose its status as confidential data, and caution is needed.

Thank you, Jim!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Motherhood is often an experience of invisible decision-making. Some decisions are small, and others are big.

We see the impact of those decisions every day in our legal work: working with and protecting families, helping plan a future, or assisting parents, loved ones, and children move forward when things don’t go as planned.

To the mothers doing that work, sometimes without a roadmap, we see you.
Happy Mother’s Day from Vafiades, Brountas & Kominsky

VBK Law attorney James C. Munch recently had the honor of serving in his role as executor of the estate of Linda G. Zillman and Donald M. Zillman, helping to carry forward their lasting commitment to education, the arts, and community.

In December, Jim presented a $2.1 million gift to the University of Maine at Presque Isle —the largest in the university’s history — on behalf of the Zillmans.

Donald Zillman, a former president of the university, and Linda Zillman were dedicated to its growth and regional impact, making this gift especially significant to the Zillman’s, the Presque Isle Community, and the University of Maine at Presque Isle.

Both the President of the University of Maine at Presque Isle, Ray Rice, and Jim spoke, and it was an event marked by reflection, gratitude, and purpose; an opportunity to honor lives well lived through a contribution that will benefit generations of students to come.

VBK is proud of Jim’s thoughtful stewardship in his role for the Zillmans and humbled to witness the enduring impact of the Zillmans’ generosity.
