Clallam-Jefferson County Pro Bono Lawyers will present a virtual legal aid clinic, a free program offering legal advice for members of the public, from 10 a.m.-noon on Saturday, Aug. 20.

Consultations will be offered via telephone or Zoom.

The group is offering 3 types of service at this event:

• In partnership with the Clallam Public Defender’s Office, there will be consultations available for people who have been impacted by the Blake Decision regarding possession of controlled substance convictions.

• Public defense lawyers and volunteer attorneys will assist individuals with applying for relief from legal financial obligations for Clallam County criminal convictions of all types.

• Attorneys will be available for consultations for civil law matters (family, landlord/tenant, estate planning, etc.).

Legal aid clinics are geared to help those who are financially unable to otherwise access a lawyer.

Clients must pre-register for this event by calling 360-504-2422 or by emailing to probonomary@gmail.com.

Participants are asked to register no later than Friday, Aug. 12.
