Medical-Legal Partnership
We remove legal barriers that impact people’s health
We address the legal needs of patients and their families in partnership with medical facilities in King County. Our attorneys work alongside a clinic’s physicians, nurses, administrators, support staff, and social workers to identify and solve social issues together with patients.
Our current partners are HealthPoint and International Community Health Services (ICHS) in select clinics.
What We Help With
- Public benefits and appeals
- Eviction
- Debt/loss of income
- Workplace discrimination
- Clearing criminal records
- Domestic violence
- Child custody and guardianship
