Washington State Pro Bono Council
Washington Pro Bono Council members provide free legal aid services. Sometimes difficult things happen in life, like losing a job, facing eviction from a home, or experiencing trauma like domestic violence or sexual assault. Many people having these experiences could benefit from legal help, but they don’t know where to turn or can’t afford a lawyer.
Civil legal aid is a combination of free services and resources that nonprofit organizations provide to people who can’t afford legal help otherwise. A lawyer can help you navigate the confusing legal system to see if there is a legal solution that can help you improve your situation. Civil legal aid is not the same as criminal representation. This is not intended to be a resource for people who are being accused of a crime.
Everyone should have legal help when facing a crisis. Find out if civil legal aid can help you by contacting your local volunteer lawyer program.
