Legal Advocacy

Legal advocates provide information and support in regards to criminal and/or civil legal matters. While they are not attorneys and cannot represent you in court, they can help navigate the legal system and provide support and accompaniment through processes such as protection orders, divorce proceedings and parenting plans. DAWN partners with Eastside Legal Assistance Program (ELAP) to provide an attorney working on-site at our offices for clients referred through DAWN. Free legal clinics and referrals to other free or low-cost attorneys are also available. To reach a Legal Advocate please call the referral line at 253-893-1630.
