Legal Advice Clinics

The Washington County Law Library provides three different legal clinics to the public: Family, Civil and Criminal. The purpose of these clinics is to help residents understand and navigate the Washington County court system.

Each clinic appointment includes a free, 30-minute consultation with a volunteer attorney.

An appointment is required. Legal clinics do not take walk-ins. All consultations are by phone.
