We provide free legal advice, information, and direct representation to low-income people in Thurston and Mason Counties in civil matters only.

We cannot help you, if you already have an attorney.

We cannot help you with a criminal matter. 

We cannot help you with an immigration matter.

We want to empower you to resolve your own legal problems. 

If you want help, call the toll-free CLEAR line: 1-888-201-1014-- between 9:30 am and 12:30 pm Monday through Friday. 

If you are over 60, call CLEAR Sr. at 1-888-387-7111.

To help you navigate the legal system, we provide free legal clinics.
