FIRST NONPROFIT LAW FIRM IN WASHINGTON TO HANDLE CIVIL MATTERS FOR CLIENTS WITH MODERATE INCOMES

During my years as a criminal defense attorney handling a variety of criminal cases, including domestic violence cases, clients needed to either obtain or defend themselves against a Domestic Violence Protection Order or a Civil Anti-Harassment Order. The public defender will not handle these matters because they are technically not part of the criminal case. Fees for a private attorney to handle these matters can be expensive and many people with limited financial means cannot afford legal services and are forced to face protection order hearings alone and unrepresented by a competent lawyer. I just wanted to announce that Puget Sound Center For Law is the first nonprofit law firm in the State of Washington to handle civil matters for clients of moderate incomes between 125% and 600% of the federal poverty level. The civil matters the firm handles include protection orders (restraining orders),expungements, landlord-tenant law, employment law and wills/trusts & probate. All of the fees are at substantially reduced rates, making civil legal services and the justice system within the reach of the average person with moderate income. The firm has already begun taking clients and the firm's website is at www.pscfl.org
