Legal Resources Regardless of Income in King County WA

First of all I hope that nobody has to ever use this resource list that I am about to post. The court system is not fair for anybody involved even if you think you won your case, It impacts negatively towards multiple people that you may of not thought about. Whatever you can do to keep yourself out of court try to do that with the person you are having an issue with. Or try mediation, that can sometimes resolve and deescalate and issue.

Take full advantage of all resources that are in your own area. These are for situations in my local backyard, but they can give you the groundwork for which you can start to look. Most counties should have a resource for you to go and get free advice. Start with our local courthouse and law advocacy groups. Take full advantage of the free consultations, and then go to another free consultation to see if you get the same type of answer or a different answer. Good luck and always always never be afraid to let the judge know that you do not know, and always be up front and ask your lawyer the hard questions if you need to hire one. If they lawyer cannot answer your hard questions, how do you expect the lawyer to answer the hard questions in court for you!?
