The Transgender Legal Clinic offers free consultations with a volunteer attorney on a drop-in basis. We serve all parts of Washington State, and all appointments are held over Zoom with phone options available.

This Legal Clinic is drop-in only. However, if you plan to attend, we ask that you register ahead of time to receive the Zoom link. This helps protect our clinic users from Zoom-bombing and other security concerns. Registering does not obligate you to come on any particular date; once you have the link, you can attend any clinic date you like.

See website for clinic dates, times, and to register for the Zoom link.

QLaw also provides legal resources, self-help packets, and webinars for LGBTQ2S+ communities and attorneys.
