Attorneys who volunteer at our clinics provide a crucial service to low-income small business owners and nonprofit organizations who would not otherwise have access to legal services.
Our partnerships are important to us and we are thankful to Ventures and the King County Bar Association for their collaboration on our legal clinics!
