Hello Guys,

I hope you’re doing well. I find myself in a challenging situation and could really use some guidance. I’m currently facing legal issues in Washington State and am in need of a criminal attorney who offers pro bono services.

Unfortunately, I am unable to afford private legal counsel at the moment, and the complexity of my case requires professional assistance. I have searched online, but the information seems scattered and incomplete.

Could anyone here provide recommendations or point me in the right direction? I would greatly appreciate any advice on organizations or specific attorneys in Washington State who specialize in pro bono criminal defense.

Thank you so much for your time and assistance…

Have you checked out or tried to talk to a government attorney based in Washington? Last I checked the ABA was advocating for Pro Bono representation from government attorneys.
I know the DOJ has a program for pro Bono, but it mainly supports immigration law victims.

Have you ever heard of the Seattle Clemency Program? They can be able to help you. If you aren’t in Seattle, I think that they can provide adequate referrals as its a well connected and organized Program

I understand that lawyers will do pro gratis work, but I’ve never heard of a lawyer whose entire career isn’t about making money. That said, contact your local bar or legal aid to see if they can assist you.
