Staff Attorney

Agency Name: Purpose. Dignity. Action.

Position / Job Title : Staff Attorney

Location: Seattle, WA/Hybrid

Category : Attorney

Job Description: The Staff Attorney will offer trauma-informed legal services to clients in the LEAD and CoLEAD programs, all of whom were referred and approved for program participation because of their exposure to enforcement and legal system sanctions. LEAD and CoLEAD are pre-booking community-based alternatives (not court-based). Participants tend to have a wide array of longstanding barriers and obstacles that need to be addressed to improve chances of stabilization, recovery and thriving; the effort to tackle many of these obstacles benefits from help from legal counsel.
The attorney will provide representation across a wide range of participants’ legal needs. Common practice areas include eviction, immigration, family and dependency law, public benefits issues, debt relief, warrant quash assistance, and post-conviction relief. However, the legal practice is defined by its varied scope rather than a single focus area. Due to the varied scope, the position will require the Staff Attorney to learn new areas of law to provide direct representation and connect clients to existing legal aid providers in the community.
