There is no income barrier to services, and while we do not offer legal representation, our volunteer attorneys and paraprofessionals are committed to connecting unrepresented persons with existing legal resources.
Free Walk-In Legal Clinics Honor Sandy Williams
In honor of late Spokane activist Sandy Williams, free walk-in clinics are being launched in Spokane this weekend for people who need legal help but can’t access it.
The first Sandy Williams Justice Center Free Walk-In Legal Clinic is 2-5 p.m. Sunday at Morning Star Baptist Church, 3909 W. Rowan Ave.
People needing help will be able to speak with attorneys or other legal advocates, including those who specialize in racial justice, civil rights, domestic violence, education, family law, elder law, housing assistance, unemployment law, landlord/tenant law, protection orders and post-conviction relief.
The conversations at the clinic will remain confidential.
The clinics were designed as a tribute to the work of Williams, who founded and led the Carl Maxey Center. The Spokane activist who also founded the Black Lens newspaper died in a plane crash in September near Whidbey Island.
According to a news release announcing the pop-up clinics, the effort is a collaboration between organizations, including the Carl Maxey Center, Spokane Regional Domestic Violence Coalition, The Law Office of DC Cronin, Center for Civil & Human Rights at Gonzaga Law, Morning Star Baptist Church, The Way to Justice and AHANA.
There will be multiple clinics offered in the Spokane area in the coming weeks and months.
