Legal Clinics
About
With the mission of providing access to justice, since 2007 LBAW has co-sponsored legal clinics in Seattle with Schroeter Goldmark & Bender, where volunteer attorneys provide free, limited legal advice on various legal issues, including personal injury, medical negligence, worker’s rights/wage claims, family law, immigration, criminal law, and property/landlord-tenant law.
In the past few years, the LBAW clinics have expanded to bring clinics to areas where legal resources are not as accessible to our communities throughout Washington State including Mt. Vernon, Omak, Granger, Vancouver, Spokane and Pasco.
LBAW is proud to be recognized by WSBA as a Qualified Legal Service Provider, which means our attorney volunteers can earn up to 24 CLE credits during their reporting period for any clinic.
