Tacomaprobono offers Free Legal Aid Pop-Ups all over Pierce County, especially at branches of the public library.
Tacomaprobono also addresses vacating criminal convictions (and offers help with civil law matters).
Experience Note: I spoke with Tacomaprobono to learn more about how they operate and spoke with a librarian who witnessed their pop-ups at her branch of the library. The librarian spoke highly of Tacomaprobono’s work and of how many people its lawyers helped via its free pop-ups at her library.
Washington Defender Association’s Incarcerated Parents Project (click on the link above) tries to help families stay together by giving legal help to:
-parents put into jail or who might go to jail
-their family members
-those unable to afford a lawyer.
They help with:
-legal papers
-finding experts
-teaching defenders, other court participants, & the community about the law.
They also collaborate to keep parents connected to communities, ensure kids can stay close to their parents even when incarcerated, & reduce the stigma incarcerated parents face.
This Washington state organization is run by and for formerly incarcerated individuals, offering legal assistance (when it has openings; as of mid-October 2024, the waitlist is full), guides, and statewide and county-specific resources.
One of its resources is a determination of Blake eligibility to have vacated a conviction for drug possession under a particular state law that was declared unconstitutional.
