The
Chelan-Douglas County Volunteer Attorney Services (VAS) provides free
legal help to low-income people through twice-weekly advice clinics,
Housing Justice Program, Senior Clinics, and additional programs. In
advice clinics an attorney meets with a client for one-half hour and
gives the client advice and/or brief services. Anyone who qualifies as
low-income can have a meeting with an attorney about any legal problem,
with the exception of criminal problems. In some cases, VAS will
attempt to obtain a lawyer for representation in court. VAS does not
have attorneys on staff. All legal services provided by VAS are volunteer
hours of attorneys from the Chelan-Douglas Bar.
If you neet
assistance from VAS, call CLEAR @ 1-888-201-1014. CLEAR can give you
limited legal advice and if you still need help, CLEAR will refer you to
VAS. VAS has bilingual services. People with family law problems
should generally start with either Community Action or the Court House
Facilitator unless they just want advice and are not ready to start the
paperwork - then they should call CLEAR.
