BUSINESS BRIEFS: Free legal clinic offered Saturday in Port Townsend . . . and other items

PORT TOWNSEND — Clallam-Jefferson County Pro Bono Lawyers will present the quarterly Jefferson County Free Legal Clinic event this Saturday.

This event is a free drop-in legal advice clinic for members of the public.

It will be held in the Port Townsend Community Center, 620 Tyler St., from noon to 3 p.m.

This clinic allows for local people to address their legal issues in one-on-one consultations with volunteer lawyers.

It is intended to help those who are otherwise unable to financially access an attorney but is open to all who wish to attend.

Attorney volunteers will be available to answer legal questions, to direct people to local services that might be able to assist them and to explain the legal process to them.

Volunteers will answer questions regarding family law, tenant/landlord, public assistance, estate, bankruptcy, employment and creditor issues.

It is anticipated demand for this clinic will be high, so it is recommended that attendees arrive on time to ensure being seen by an attorney.

For questions, contact Executive Director Shauna Rogers at 360-504-2422 or email probonolawyers@gmail.com.
