legal advice clinics

TACOMAPROBONO
LEGAL CLINICS

Please use the online intake form to let us know about your legal issue. Be sure to fill out the form completely and add all your contact information so we can reach you to complete a full intake.

If you are eligible for assistance and we have a clinic program available for your issue, we will schedule you for a phone or in-person advice session and you will receive a reminder prior to the advice appointment. 

Eligibility depends upon household income, potential conflicts, individually funded program eligibility guidelines, and in some cases whether or not your issue is COVID-related. You will be asked questions about all these things during the intake and your answers are completely confidential.

Please be prepared for your appointment with all documents and information related to your case.

FAMILY LAW CLINICS

What you can expect when you contact us with a family law issue

A majority of the thousands of clients Tacomaprobono serves each year come to us for help with family law issues.

As a practical and professional challenge, this means that in order for our program to do the very best job we can for each individual client, we must use our staff and volunteer attorney resources efficiently. For this reason we ask our family law clients to understand and expect that due to lack of resources that would enable us to do so, Tacomaprobono will likely NOT be able to provide full representation for your family law case.

This does not mean that your case is not important or that you and your family do not deserve the best. Our goal is that our programs will enable every family law client who follows our advice to experience the best possible achievable result in their case.

The good news is that many people who are currently representing themselves but have reached a point where they need help with their case, or people who have not yet started their case and need legal advice to get moving, can successfully represent themselves with assistance from Tacomaprobono volunteer and staff attorneys. Tacomaprobono family law advice clinic services include follow-up help as needed and free access to interpreters.
