Referral Network
About the Referral Network
Deciding to retain legal representation is an important decision. Finding an attorney can be overwhelming. As part of our mission to promote the dignity and respect of 2SLGBTQIA+ Washingtonians within the legal system, we have implemented a statewide attorney referral network.
The attorneys in this network are not directly affiliated with QLaw Foundation, but are:
- committed to being 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming
- experienced with serving the members of our 2SLGBTQIA+ communities
- licensed to practice law in the state of Washington
While we have conducted an initial assessment of the attorneys in our network, ultimately the decision to retain counsel should be based on your own judgment and evaluation.
Cost
Depending on circumstances, some attorneys on our list offer legal services at no cost or a reduced fee, sometimes known as pro bono or low bono, respectively. Terms, such as scope of representation and fees, are determined by the referred attorney and client.
Finding a match
QLaw Foundation cannot guarantee a perfect match, nor can we ensure the referred attorney will represent you. In some regions, it is difficult to locate attorneys that are competent with 2SLGBTQIA+ clients and their matters. If we cannot find a suitable referral or if an attorney cannot take your case, we may be able to refer you to another attorney or offer alternative resources.
