The GLBT Bar Association of Washington Foundation - known as QLAW - announced July 10 they will open a monthly legal clinic addressing the legal needs of GLBT individuals and couples this month. In addition to the Legal Clinic, QLAW Foundation offers public education, summer legal internship grants, and support for at-risk youth.
The clinic is free of charge, with volunteer attorneys meeting with individuals for 30-minute consultations to provide legal advice and information. Services will be offered on the third Thursday of each month from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Equal Rights Washington in Seattle.
Legal Clinic officials say individuals can make an appointment to discuss various legal topics, including family law, debt and bankruptcy, divorce and dissolution, employment discrimination, and Transgender legal issues. Services are available to all individuals, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
"The Foundation is excited to provide this additional legal service for members of the GLBT community in King County," said Jill Mullins, chair of the committee spearheading the GLBT Legal Clinic.
The GLBT Legal Clinic is supported by the King County Bar Association Neighborhood Legal Clinic Program, which organizes free clinics on various legal issues throughout King County. The clinic also benefits from Equal Rights Washington, the state's equal rights advocates, and QLAW Foundation.
The Legal Clinic is not a drop-in center. To make an appointment, call (206) 235-7235 on Tuesdays between 12 to 3 p.m. Visit www.q-law.org/legalclinic for more information.
