King County Bar - Neighborhood Legal Clinics

The Neighborhood Legal Clinics (NLC) program offers free, limited legal advice and referrals to King County residents and those Washington State residents with legal actions filed in King County who might otherwise have no access to the legal system. The goal of the program is to make clinics accessible regardless of a person's disability or lack of fluency in spoken English. NLC provides free, substantive legal advice and consultation in an environment that is informal, friendly, and accessible.
